Soon to be parent, looking for guidance!

My wife is currently 3 months pregnant and i sadly have little knowledge of how to raise a child. I understand that up until around 1 year it’s going to be lots of diapers, crying(depending on the baby) and soothing. But once they start walking and exploring the world, i want to be able to try and understand what they’re going through. For instance, around what age do you start to enforce some sort of rules, when will they really understand the word “No”. When i have been around my 2 year old nephew, I’ve struggled a little in understanding when it’s time for certain things. Or for instance, when it’s ok to make a moment teachable, and when it’s ok to just let him be. My dad is a great father/teacher, he helps my nephew explore all kinds of new things and has loads of fun with him while also teaching him things along the way. That’s solely what i am seeking out, the knowledge of how to interact with a baby/child in certain scenarios. It can just feel so awkward at times, like this little guy has no clue what I’m saying or doing, do i keep trying to repeat the process? Or is he going to get fed up with my “teachable moments” too soon... idk I’m just nervous. I know no matter how many books you read you’ll never be a perfect parent, everyone is flawed. But if anyone would like to recommend a good book for interacting babys/children i would appreciate it. Sorry for the long post 😅 via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2royfc2
