Parenting - A Two Person Job
As I said earlier, I am the head coach and my wife an assistant, but almost all the time my wife is more than the head coach as I just enjoyed watching every move of my child whereas my wife set a boundary to discipline the growing baby.
I believe no growing child or a college going teenager would give a slight thought about parenting, rather it’s all about partying, having fun, and securing a good job and a reliable partner. Parenting come the least as was my case. But, within a short span of time marriage and parenting is all you thought eat and sleep with without giving a hint of the commitment you had to jump into to begin a family or the amount of time you need to devote.
Teenage or yet to have a baby newly married women thought “Oh what a fun it would be to have a baby” not realizing playing with your little kid is not like playing with a doll. When reality strikes the unpreparedness leads the coach and assistant coach in bad mood and often quarrelling that leads the child suffer and turns a spoil brat in the end.
Was it really like the way we thought it would be, most probably “NO”?
Daddy made so many promises, mommy thought she get the best man in the world but until for sometime promises were broken, faiths have dwindle. No, I blame no one for those things happen all due to love with no experiences.
Parenting is certainly a two person job, one that is shared by both parents. It is an experience like no other, a joy shared by both; a pain bore by both as the child is the result of their love for each other and a bridge that connect the heart of both parents.
Discipline is the main issue of a growing child. Dad who calls himself the head coach is laid back and carefree not realizing every other day is too late to discipline the child. Of course, he set some rules to be followed and ask mom to take in charge.
True, rules are to be laid in order to discipline a child but we often see that those rules are not followed and neither the child behave properly as expected. The fact is, a command without love is like the sound of an empty vessel. Therefore, we need to train our children with love as it is a command from above.
Mom and dad have the same responsibility in their child upbringing and it is up to them how they want their child in the future. As a potter mould the clay while it is soft parents should mould their child when they are young so that they don’t regret when it is too late.
How do we mould them? Do we mould them to make us proud?

Every parent is excited for the arrival of a new baby, Daddy feel the kick and move of the baby inside the mother’s womb, mom keep counting the due date she marks at the bedside calendar, grand old mother coyly smiles away with ecstasy.
Yes, there has been an immeasurable and limitless debates made over the issue that what is right and a perfect time to prepare for the arrival of the newly born baby. However, the preparation techniques and approaches are generally the same.
Numerous training centers enable parents to learn about baby care by attending classes. You can easily find the baby care training centers via the internet, you will get a list of training centers that are available in your surroundings. No matter if you are thinking to start your own baby care centre or currently working for a childcare facility, these baby care-training centers, can be extremely helpful for you, giving you more confidence and assurance in your job.
The mothers to be, particularly the first-time mothers should attend the classes for taking care of the baby, which will be extremely useful and helpful for them. This will make them learn the required skills to take care of the baby. They would learn different methods of feeding the baby, in fact, every small detail related to taking care of the baby would be explained to them. Pre-natal classes are also extremely useful and necessary for informing mothers to be about different phases such as pregnancy, labor period, delivery and the life after having a baby. Baby classes also include information on subjects like behavior of the baby, safety and prevention tips and guidelines, and also about how to interact with the baby.

Parents must provide the baby with comfortable and safe sleeping area, and they must prepare for it before the baby is born.

It is better to buy a crib, which is labeled as certified and safe, with a mattress that fits perfectly in the crib, and it should be firm. The room of the baby should be within the room temperature and well ventilated.

Parents train your child
I am not a celebrity
I am not a star
But, I am more than a celebrity and a star to my wife and my son. I am an all-round coach and my wife an assistant coach to our son. I have been trained by my parents in all aspect to be a respectable man though not I, but I am on my way.
The one verse my parents coach me when I was a child is “train your child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it”.
You could never understand the love of your parents until your first child is born. You have to sing those lullabies that your parents sang to you when you were a child like yours, you had never ever given a thought about those lullabies, choruses and rhymes until the moment you had to perform yourself to stop your baby cry or put to sleep. You had forgotten the lines; you didn’t have such a soothing voice but still, you have to do it, you were like back to those kindergarten days or when your mom taught you choruses or your teacher performing action rhymes.
You got married just because you thought you are old enough and financially stable to run a family or simply because you are madly in love. But you hadn’t thought about changing the diapers of your baby, feeding him/her in the middle of the night. Maybe your parents hadn’t train you or you haven’t asked them before your baby is due. Do our parents train themselves or their parents taught them? OR do they have a better coach?
The question is, were you prepared for all this? Now you realized how much your parents had cared, how much they had trained you to be a complete man.
Imagine how much you had been loved, cared, taught, discipline, trained, you were brought up in the best possible manner your parents could afford. Most parents didn’t guide their kids how to write their first love letters, but parents teach their child how to build a happy home. We may not be perfect at the birth of our first child but I believe we would pick up the process day after day as the child grows as we had been trained.
I can’t express how happy I was when my wife gave birth to our first child; I jump outside the maternity ward, I can’t wait to see my wife and the little newborn child. She had a miscarriage before this which shocks me when the doctor showed us the ultrasonography result. The doctor advised us to take extra care if we need another baby or a proper bed rest to prevent from miscarriage as soon as she conceived. And, after fifteen months she is pregnant, for the whole nine months we were in and out of the hospital. But it’s worth the price and we have our first baby.
Two and a half kilograms is the weight of my baby, he’s so small, yet I want to feel him, touch him, feed him, and do anything that I can provide. Out of all those babies lying in the cradle I feel my baby is the best (I know every parents feels the same) and I am so proud to be a father. After two days in the hospital we are home.
Now, I am promoted to be the head coach.

Parents are the best coach
Parents are the best coach, their coaching is unique and priceless, they train and shaped the future of their child tirelessly. A soccer coach, a cricket coach, a baseball coach or any sports coach trained to be perfect in that particular sports, they coach for a given period and they are paid for their expertise.
Parents train their child in every aspect from potty sitting to finding a perfect soul mate and building a happy family. Children imitate, listen, and follow the directions of the teachings of their parents. Parents are the best coach because no children forget the teachings of their parents till they are old.
well,
