Be willing to be the bad guy.

Remember that some opportunities come only once.

Never say "never" (as in "My child would never do that").

Experts are also joining in on the blog craze - offering curious parents a professional's opinion. Whether you're thinking about a baby or parenting a teenage or even looking for some humor in your young adult's quirks, the below blogs offer sage advice for every step of parenting.

Healthy Children - Steven Parker, M.D.
Published by WebMD and maintained by Dr. Steven Parker, director of behavioral and developmental pediatrics at Boston Medical Center and an associate professor at Boston University, the posts on Healthy Children blog is any but sterile advice. Dr. Parker explores immunizations, maturity, breastfeeding, and stem cell research with a compassionate attitude. He also introduces personal experiences or current events to his writing. The underlying theme of Dr. Parker's writings is to encourage parents to "discover" - not "invent" - their child. Individuals can also take advantage of WebMD's message boards where parents and professionals exchange information. His book credits include Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrics: A Handbook for Primary Care and Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care, 1998 edition.
