Though I suppose in many instances nothing could ever totally prepare us for the roller-coaster ride of parenting, and most of the learning has to be done ‘on-the-job’. If only every parent were required to go through 3 years of intensive study before being allowed to produce progeny, perhaps we might feel more prepared, and make fewer mistakes whilst bringing up our kids. And just as you feel that sheer hard won experience has taught you a thing or two, your child enters the next stage of life and the set of skills and wisdom required morphs to something different. There are good parenting courses and good books, but most of us who embark on the parenting journey usually feel woefully inadequate. We prepare for working life by getting an education that spans 13 to 16 years but we go for zero certification before undertaking the huge role of a parent. I see parenting as probably one’s most important responsibility in this life.
