Preparing for a New Baby

One of the most important ways in which expectant parents can prepare themselves for the birth of their baby is to explore their views on parenting. Do you know how your spouse feels about spanking? Does your spouse know about your views on child rearing? Are there similarities and differences in your views. New parents are often surprised to learn that their spouses have very different views about child rearing and discipline. Take the time to explore one another´s views and try to work out some compromises because children need consistency.
