The Social Learning Question of the Day has gone so well, and because obviously I don’t have enough to do already, I created the Parents Question of the Day on Twitter (@parentsQOTD).
It is just like it sounds – one question each day about parenting. The kickoff question is tomorrow – Wednesday the 24th. If you are parent, I encourage you to follow and share.
This idea came a long time ago, before I had even heard about Twitter, actually. We, as parents, have just about all the answers. We have been through a TON of situations in varying forms. When parents get together they often talk about the challenges. And obviously there isn’t a manual we are given when we become parents. So why not create it by the people who do it?
It this not true social learning?
So let’s get together, ask questions, give advice, wisdom and resources and help each other be better parents. This is a passion of mine that I don’t get to act upon as often as I would like. Because – hey – if I can have some positive influence on you, and then you on your children and then my children happen to interact with your children (or even marry one of your children), they will all be all the better for it. Besides that, we can all help each other out.
Parenting is the most difficult, demanding, heart wrenching work – yet also the most rewarding, joyful work I have ever done. Social learning is a piece of cake compared to this.
So join the @parentsQOTD and let’s band together before our children band together against us! (j/k)
