Do you think you have good parenting skill so that you can handle your child?

I have two step daughters and a newborn daugther. Well, for the oldest step daughter I think I can say that I have helped her make the right choices in some aspects. The other one however, not so much. It has to do with whether your child is willing to listen to what you have to say, or if they're like my youngest step daughter, they rebel and could care less what you say. Hopefully with my daughter I'll be able to do it right. I sure am looking foward to trying!

Yes, I think I have the basic skills to be a great parent. As a matter of fact, I think I am a pretty good parent. I have learned a lot from my college classes as well as from life itself. I have learned from past mistakes made with my first and second child as well as parenting mistakes that my own parents have made. None of us have to take parenting classes, unfortunate...because some parents shouldn't be parents. Do my kids obey me? I don't expect my kids to do exactly as I say everytime, but I think they do a pretty good job of listening when I really need them to. I think I have raised my kids well enough to know that sometimes they have to question adult authority. Sometimes adults also make mistakes.

That you will never know until they all are adults! I think I have good skills when it comes to raising children, but perhaps not to raise the ones I have! For me communication is the key to sucsess! Letting avery one have their opinion and to speak up for the things they want. I would not say that I control my children - I hope I'm not doing that! In my opinion children have the same right to have opinions as adults, even if they some times are a bit crazy - it's still important to listen. If you have skills in debating that will not be a problem to get them to understand why the things they want doesn't work. Children are competent and willing to co operate as long as we can do the same!
