As a parent articulating the importance of parenthood 101 is a challenge I want to fulfill. There may be many who will be left behind but then again there are others who are seeking the knowledge of parenthood but doesn't have a go-to person. Parenthood is a curious thing but if parents implement listening skills from experience veterans it may make a difference. Parenting skills vary from culture to culture. Also, parenting skills vary from parent to parent. What do I mean parenting skills vary from parent to parent? We are raised differently, therefore, the parenting skills will be dissimilar. For example how I recall my mother and father parenting skills may be different from how one recalls their mother or father parenting skills. This is imperative because once a child comes into play this is a topic that should be a conversation piece. When couples are in a relationship think about who initiates the conversations such as how a child should be raised? Who discusses which parent or both parents will be involved. Also, will one parent be a stay home mom or dad, and if so for what time period.
Moreover, who will be the disciplinary in the home or out of the home? There are several questions that should be asked in a relationship. Don't simply allow it to happen. If one is grown enough to have sex one is grown enough to prepare him or herself before the inevitable happens. One should be responsible when having sex by having safe sex, therefore there wouldn't be any child/children left behind. If one doesn't look out for their own child who's going to. What I am attempting to insert in the universe is both partners ought to take precautions. Not to allow parenthood to just happen because the balls in their court just plan the game out. Don't allow others to control their destiny when one has planned parenthood out.

If one of the parents decides to be an absent parent how will it alter the life of the single parent and the child? What will be the game plan? A game plan that does not involve the grandparents because the grandparents weren't involved when the child/children were being conceived"You get it". Parenthood should be planned and prepared because the unexpected will transpire. There isn't any perfect relationship, therefore; be prepared if a child is left behind. When one is prepared there aren't concerned with no child left behind.
Always be ahead of the game because one will tell their partner anything in the beginning. Some are better at convincing than others. Others simply are gullible and will believe what is told to them because it sounds good at the moment, especially the inexperienced. It takes a village to band together to evade a child left behind and have an ear to listen while given valuable advice to aid others who are struggling as parents but because some parents sense that the help isn't necessary it causes problems for those who would akin to aid in this struggle.
That life with the white picket fence is a fantasy, however; becoming a stable parent psychologically is a functionality one needs to be mentally stable. If one lives a psychotic life sequentially their child/children will become a product of their parent's unsettled mindset. Is that the type of life one wants for themselves or child/children? One can't continually employ the blame game for everything that has gone wrong in their life.
A part of becoming responsible is taking responsibility for one's actions or lack of. If the father/mother of one child isn't in one life one has to take responsibility. Furthermore, having a child with a person doesn't change who that person is moving forward in the relationship. Having a child with a person does open the door for that child to learn to be akin to the absent parent or to be better with some love and guidance. Some people display who they are in the relationship from jump street. Please cease trying to make the man or woman who you want to be. They are who they showed up to be.

No child left behind is a statement that should go viral but for some, others pick and choose the importance of the information they feel their child/children ought to factor in one. It isn't going to get any better for a child only worst. A village is every creed and color who can save an innocent child from their own parents because the majority of the damage comes from their child's own flesh & blood. Who knew? Let's stop the trend and make an impact on behalf of our children and grandchildren by making a pact and educate ourselves in learning how to NOT LEAVE OUR CHILD BEHIND.
It will leave a lasting impact on a child for a lifetime.
