Best parenting advice you had

[Alfredandgeorgesgrandma]

We all get given mostly unwelcomed advice on how to parent our children but was any of it any good?

The best thing I was told was from my SIL. She said get each child two identical Santa Sacks for Christmas, put one at the end of their bed Christmas Eve and have the other pre stuffed with the presents hidden somewhere. Then when the little darlings finally fall asleep simply change one for the other thus avoiding making lots of noise in a quiet house and waking the little darlings up.

What's yours?

Natural doesn't mean the same as easy

Nothing has to be 100% (the context was reusable nappies but I think it carries)

If you want a teenager who loves and respects you, start by showing them that when they’re little.

Some great ones here.
Yy told don't argue with a toddler... They change their minds quicker than you can say aye.

I liked Libby Purvis observation that babies are like the weather. Just because they slept through the night yesterday there’s nothing to say it will happen again today.

Helped me focus on the bigger picture.
