Every new mother goes through that stage of uncertainty. We always questioned ourselves whether were doing the right or wrong things for our children. We like to do everyhting for them perfectly. We always made a lot of mistakes with our first born and learned from there. For as long as you're always there for your little boy, you're on the right track. You'll be amazed how much our little ones can teach us along the way.

Parenting skills normally come with the package and both child and parent sort of learn as they go along! To teach him to speak is simple just speak to him and i do not mean baby talk i mean speak to him! Tell him stories or read him books and sing to him! Be sure to teach him to say please and thank you and always keep him full, happy, healthy and clean as well as supportive and that to me i what makes a good parent is the being there to learn with him!!!
