What’s the best parenting advice you received from your mom (or someone you consider to be like a mother to you)?

Can't think of a thing my mom ever told me except, "Nap when they nap." Or that may have come from a La Leche leader, because they were the ones supporting me and giving me the most advice

My mother always told me too to nap when your baby naps. It worked great for my first three but my fourth only took tiny cat naps (if any at all) and it was more annoying for me to try to nap when she did than not. ;)

Good Question!


My mom used to just tell me to not be afraid to try something and if it didnt work then dont be afraid to try something else.

My mom had lots of good advice about kids..some general..not specific to parenting


I like her "kids are little people " line and you treat them with respect...worked for me with my kids and with my students


In fact when my son was about 2 yrs old, and asking for a toy at the mall, a woman stopped to compliment me on how nicely I was talking to him.
