Being a parent should be a choice of a couple. Bringing a new life to the world and to the lives of a family should  be a planned  act of  a couple.  Many people think that, parenting is just a process of rearing a child. It would  happen automatically as it happed to thier parents. Of course, there is a social learning, that teaches new parents but there are lot more than the social learning. It is about putting themselves in the shoe of their child. Most of the time parents keep their own shoes. They even forget what they have felt not good or wished to change when they were kids. 

Hence it is very imortant to learn the skills of parenting. Changing  ways to be more baby oriented and friendly. Being  friend, mentor, guide and that safe person that every baby wishes for. Language, gesture, acknowledgment all matters. Blaming, cursing  or not speaking is as bad as beating and  creating a threatening  environment. There are many children who run from their home due to the harsh parenting. It pushes children to leave their family and get into the dangerous situation of child separation.
