'Good parent'

I belief all of us want to become 'good' parent. But, that is easier said than done. Whatmore if we have a difficult or a special child. There is no parenting manual to help us to do a 'good' job in this very important insan development task. As soon as we become parent we take the job naturally. Most of us never prepare ourselves with proper parenting knowledge and skills. We learn mostly from our own parents or observing others do the parenting job. In other words, we take the parenting job without any training or formal education. Whereas, we spent so many years of education and training to be competent in our present job. That explains why some of us are sometimes (most of the times?) better at work, interacting with co-workers than at home, interacting with our kids. So in order to become 'good' parents, we need to equip ourselves with knowledge and skills in parenting.
