I think growing as a parent means learning new and more things as time goes on. Things you didn’t no with your first child /animal you have a little more experience with things more. You no what to do and what not to do really its just a part of learning and life.
Maybe you can take classes or maybe listening to what older people tell you if it sounds okay but always use your common sense and the reason I say listen to older people because sometimes they have a little more knowledge then you. We may not wanna listen all the time but at the end its probably the best.
I always listened to my mom and dad for extra knowledge so always keep your ears open and listen . I no my parents wouldn’t tell me nothing wrong to harm me. Always ask questions if its something you don’t no ask someone and if they don’t no ask someone else until you get some advice that sounds right. I think it is always room to grow and you will never learn enough as a parent.
