Is there a simple rule of thumb for parenting?

I'm looking for practical advice that works in everyday life, not just in an ideal situation. What guideline has helped you?

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot

It's surprising how often the challenge is simply keeping a routine going.
