In many realms of life, the experience is everything. In the workplace, you need certain skills that come from experience, and many employers may not even consider you for a job if you lack the experience required. To complete certain tasks, the experience is needed (or someone to show you how it should be done). People tend not to like working or listening to someone who is inexperienced in a specific matter. Experience is often the key to success.

 

Now, after saying this, I will readily admit that I have absolutely no experience in parenting. I am not married (I consider myself too young) and do not have children. So, when I speak concerning the struggles of parents, my inexperience speaks undesirable volumes, but fortunately, my inexperience does not disable me from offering beneficial insight or keep me from pointing to scripture, which teaches us all we need and sufficiently equips us for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17). And besides, I have the bountiful experience (unfortunately) of being an absolutely painful child to my parents.
