They say that raising a child is difficult. If you ask us, you have to be more specific.
First, raising a baby and a child are two completely different things. From the moment your baby is born to when they reach an age they can follow what you are saying, the journey is not that difficult. The road that comes after that is treacherous... filled with temper tantrums and unreasonable requests. Not to mention the imaginary friends and the blanket or stuffed toy they are not ready to let go of.
Babies coming out of their toddler age should experience different emotions as they help them develop their inner tools, which they can use throughout life. You don't need to be a child psychologist or an expert to raise a kid. All that's required from you and your spouse is flexibility and patience.
When a baby reaches the school-going age, most parents pay attention to their extra curricular activities and grades instead of focusing on their progress. They keep a tight schedule by making sure that the child goes to school, has lunch, and gets ready for the soccer practice or ballet lesson to get there on time.

We often forget the importance of character traits such as empathy, generosity, and kindness. The most significant character trait of all is integrity. It shows parents how their child will act when no one is looking.
