The Five Parenting Facts

Parenting Fact 1: Parenting is a complicated game.
The job description is actually very simple, but doing the job can be extremely challenging.
Parenting is, in that sense, like the best games; they are simple to learn and can take a lifetime to master.

Parenting Fact 2: Genes are a parent's biggest contribution to a child’s life.
The child's biology determines his/her disposition and disposition determines the limits of some unknown range of opportunities and possibilities that exist throughout the child’s entire life.

Parenting Fact 3: Assertiveness is an advantage.
No one knows what limits exist for anyone else (except in general terms like not being able to grow wings or sprout horns) so children who learn perseverance and determination to overcome illusory limits will be at an advantage.

Parenting Fact 4: Compassion is an advantage.
Everyone knows that limits exist in the world and children who learn to respect people’s beliefs about the world (while overcoming their own limiting beliefs and/or understanding real limits in the world) will be at an advantage.

Parenting Fact 5: Parenting is about moral balance not correct behavior.
Morality is ultimately about creating well-being.
Expressing moral values is about enacting strategies to ensure the well-being of yourself and those with whom you identify (as family, friends, co-workers, or by culture, gender, species, planet, etc.)
The fundamental parenting challenge is balancing the application of your moral values, knowing the real limitations in each situation, and meeting the legitimate needs of everyone involved.

Nursery/Kindergarten - The secret to a successful adaptation A child who comes to the nursery for the first time feels alone, lost and helpless. How can you help him? For most children, going to a nursery or kindergarten is the first separation from their parents. They see it as confronting an unfamiliar space, in which parents leave it to strangers.

The parent or a child? It is difficult for everyone to fall apart: to the parent - if he or she has never separated from the child, to the child - because he or she feels anxious about the parent.
