The idea or concept of parenting can bring about thoughts of warmth and love. On the other hand, it can bring about thoughts of fear and anxiety. Parenting is a skill that most people must learn. This process can be discovered through observation and practice. The skill associated with parenting is not a trait that everyone is born with. This is not anything to be embarrassed or fearful about. This handbook will provide a practical approach to effective parenting by evaluating the the internal and external environment that effect us all.
