Skills that are obvious and known to men are: performing skills (like singing, dancing and acting), skills in painting, skills in sports, skills in Math, skills in cooking and in baking etc. Like those skills mentioned above, raising up children is a mixture of the delicate balance between responsibility and skills.
There is such term as "Parenting Skills". Like those skills mentioned, parenting skills are also honed and enhanced. Skills in parenting however, is different. Parenting skills become required as soon as you become a parent. There is no such thing as "Parenting is not my skill". When you become a parent, you have to have this skill.
While there is no university, school or special classes that teach parents about parenting skills, skills in parenting can be learned. It is not something that you discover and voila... you are good at it. Parenting is more of practicing your responsibility as a parent in loving but practical means. Parents' best teachers are indeed their day to day experiences as parents. Mistakes in parenting are very normal and usual especially for first time parents.
First time parents feel all the anxiety, fear and worry about their children and their children's future. Apprehensions and hold backs are normal for parents and again, most especially the first time parents. Simply said, parenting starts with, "I really do not know what to do first."
Parenting skills officially start when the baby comes out of your womb. Being a parent means you are the source of guidance, care and love to your children. Parenting skills also vary. There are those who are very creative, some are strict and total disciplinarians, others are so loose about their children while others are still nervous about their skills as parents.
