text: For example, someone could ask a close friend or family member for parenting tips. Parenting can be challenging for some adults and maybe a little easier for others. Once an adult enters parenting, they most likely have absolutely no way on how to approach the pathway of having children. So, they could ask close friends or family members that already have children for specific advice. This allows the parent to learn more about how to properly take care of their child. Asking a friend or relative for parenting advice when they don't have any children, would not help the parent learn about how to properly take care of their child. They might ask multiple people for their advice about parenting, because it educates them different ways other ways parents raise and guide their child.
