Parenting: Not ready to be parents



Parenting: Not ready to be parents

One of the most common things we hear soon to be parents say is: where not ready to be parents!!! The good news is, that we were effectively born ready, and with a few simple strategies, we can easily fit the bill.

• First, remember that we are not perfect and can only try out best
• Read parenting books, especially ones that relate to your beliefs and religious views
• Spend time with other parents: The saying together we do it better is so to.
• Try the crash test mummy approach: Offer to look after other people’s babies – if they let you – before you become a parent yourself. Just remember…it is easier with your own.
• Decide together how you will parent and do things – you will be amazed at how different your views can be.
