I found that when I wrote my master's thesis I learned more than I did in the classes I attended.
In the classes I soaked up information (most of which is forgotten).
With my Master's thesis I had to think, search, adapt, take advice, be calm, work hard, write, re-write, re-write, THINK, persevere, find someone to do the statistics for me etc.
Basically develop skills that I could apply later.
I feel parenting is similar to the thesis.
We can get information and "tips" from Instagram experts who are really good, but it is only by doing, sharing, re-doing, sharing, growing in self skills that we actually CHANGE for the better.
That's why I think a community like this for parents and educators is more valuable time spent than flicking through the latest 3 steps to great parenting on IG.
What do you think?
