I became a parent in 1993 when my daughter was born. Since then I became a parent two more times -once through adoption. My oldest child is just about to hit her teen years, so I have a lot of experience parenting children from the time they are born to the time they are teenagers. What follows are the most important things I learned about parenting since becoming a parent in 1993.

Cherish Every Moment With Your Children

I know this sounds like a cliche, but it’s the most important thing I can tell new parents. The time with your children goes so fast that it’s hard to describe. One day your kids want you to walk them into their classroom, and the next day they want you to drop them off a block away from the school so that their friends don’t see them coming to school with their parents. I’m very lucky that all my kids still love to do things with me. Being with them is the happiest times of my life.
