Parenting is a skill that must be learned, most young teen are having baby at young ages and it 's like kids riseing kids so it's up to the parent of the kids to step up to the plate http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=2119224

it takes a lot of energy and resources and maturity to raise children properly. The younger you are the less of these things you have generally speaking. Better to wait until later in life before making a decision to have kids. Thanks Jean Carl Parisien

As a parent of two and one on the way I too question the whole purpose of homework. When I was in school homework; was a tool teachers used to assess how well the individual child was understanding content taught. Today the homework my nine year old brings home far surpasses the expectations for that grade level. This of course causes me to question the motive behind the said assignment.

I agree that it takes much; time, energy, resources and maturity to raise children properly. This is why I waited till I was in my thirties to start having mine. This being said however, this does not ensure that you will not make mistakes, in fact it is at times trial and error, using your discretion and acting from the heart. There is no text book on parenting and even if there was it would need to continually updated. My take on parenting? Prepare yourself as best you can, read a lot even do research if necessary. Listen to parents you admire too, hopefully you had great role models for parents but unfortunately not everyone does or did. This does not rule you at as an effective parent to be. The key is to be open, listen to you children and be in tune to their individual needs as they are each unique.
