    Most parents have no formal training. They have to learn how to parent as they go along. A variety of resources are available to improve parenting skills, but the most important thing is common sense. Intuition and information should go hand and hand when parenting.

    Children enjoy playing. Playtime is an important part of a child's life. However, good parenting involves more than letting your children run around.

    A 3 foot tall child can typically crawl out of a crib, and it's time to get a bed! This can be a scary change; so do what you can to make it fun, such as choosing bedding with characters they love.

    If your child was adopted, be prepared to face the questions they will have when they are old enough to understand. It is natural for an adopted child to want to know about his biological parents, and the person they will ask is you. Don't make up stories that are not true about their original family because they may start to resent you later.

    When children misbehave, the best tool to use is positive reinforcement. Just remember that certain children may have emotional problems and cannot communicate their thoughts and feelings. Showing children the proper, healthy way to express their emotions is the most effective way to help and guide them as a parent.

    Children want independence and they want to help. You can build their confidence by allowing them to help you with household chores. When unloading the dishwasher, hand the spoons to your child and let him put them away in their proper place. Let your kid sort the socks when it comes time to fold the laundry. These type of tasks will help them develop their independence while helping you around the house.

    Any child who walks to school should wear some sort of reflective material on their clothing or their backpack. You can also purchase this material in Velcro, which will make it easier for your child to strap on. Retro-reflective materials, whether Velcro or tape, make children more visible if they're walking prior to sunrise or after dark. No matter what time of day it is, wearing reflective materials draws drivers' attention to your children's presence and makes road accidents less likely.

    If your child was adopted, be prepared to face the questions they will have when they are old enough to understand. Adopted kids are naturally curious about their origins, and eventually they will come to you for answers. Be as open and honest with them as possible; lying is never the best tactic and could cause them to resent you.

    In case you are a soon-to-be a stepparent, be aware that it can seem ages before you and your stepchild can hit it off. Often, children continue to want their parents to reunite. By not trying to rush things, the process is smoother. Over time, the child will get to know you and learn to accept the situation.

    Though many people share the experience of being a parent, it takes skills that might not come naturally. Seeking advice from others to gain more knowledge about raising children is perfectly normal for parents to do. Children can be incredibly challenging, and sharing your experiences helps to make it easier. Be the best parent possible by adding the above advice to your parenting arsenal.
