My Masterpiece Field: Helping Others 

-Parenting is a world-wide practice that should be the responsibility to ensure child's health and safety, preparing the child for life as productive useful adults in the world and transmitting cultural values   
-Parenting should most of the time come naturally, unfortunately many times it doesn't because people are inexperienced and simply have no idea what to do; the sad part is if a couple has more children, they usually are not experts until their third to fourth child
-One of the main things to understand is that each child is 100% UNIQUE and not exactly as his or her brother or sister; therefore what worked for one child may not work for another and you must accept that
-A high-quality parent-child relationship is critical for early development and you should understand that this IS the basis and foundation for all trust and communication between you and your child for the future
-Never be afraid to tell your child the truth at the appropriate life and understand the heavy demoralization taking place in our children's generation in society and that unfortunately many trends that would take place during high school are now occurring in middle school and even ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! This should scare you, if it doesn't I do not know what will
-You may want to become your child's best friend so that they could trust you and tell you everything, every parents wish of course but you need to be careful because you need to remember that you are still their mother/father and still need to establish that line of respect between the two 
-You learn from your mistakes so if something is not working out, try something else 
-Could potentially join groups with other parents in which you discuss many of these ideas and how you can each help each other
