As a father of 5 now. The 5th just having been born yesterday, I can completely relate and agree with this post entirely. Parenting is the single most difficult job on the planet. Anyone can run a fortune 500 company with the right training, parenting takes experience, it cannot be taught. You will make mistakes, You will get into fights, You will argue. You will, like I did, literally pull your hair out. I’m 32 and balding already, it isn’t the best of times.

Parenting is difficult, to do it right is a craft. It is significantly more rewarding to see a child learn a positive trait than a negative one. Children are sponges and learn the world through those that are closest. If you show anger, violence and punishment every moment of every day that is what the child will accept to be normal and practice themselves. They are mirrors of our own behavior.

I can only hope that the US general population learns that you cannot raise a child through social media. Put the damn phone down and go spend some time with your kids and maybe they wouldn’t act out so much. As always @krnel. I greatly appreciate your content and wish you nothing but success. Thanks for sharing!
