Let your kids have sips of your beer and wine from a young age.

It takes away the rebellion appeal of alcohol, and they won't do as much stupid shit once they're independent.

Mold your kids less and enjoy your life more. Your kids will still turn out fine.

Have more kids than you think you want right now.

Check out this book - Selfish Reasons To Have More Kids. Very interesting read.

For me the best advice for parents is not to spend time with their children, but rather to SPEND ALL THEIR TIME WITH THEIR CHILDREN.

A very old book said the following:

"These words that I am commanding you today must be in your heart, and you must inculcate them in your children and talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."

Although it referred to God's commandments for the Israelites, they are applicable to all aspects of life and highlights the importance of first being convinced ourselves and then "inculcate" NOT "impose" it.

My best parenting advice is that most of the stuff parents stress out about isn't as important as they think. It's ok to relax and actually enjoy parenting.

Encouraging reading . Readers are leaders as they say!? Don’t they?

Have them play outside as much as possible. Alone is even better. Let them pretend. This is how we learn to visualize and create. Don't rush anything.

Trust your children. They want to be safe and they know their own boundaries. Let them be as much as possible.

I think the schooling you do outside of school is more important.

My kids are home schooled so I suppose that is a version of private school. I don't think private school is mandatory but it is certainly a better option than public school if you can afford it or if you have the time and temperament to homeschool that is also a great option.
