  Modern Parenting skills focuses on being friendlier to your kids while dealing with their problems so that they can easily share with their parents and do not put themselves in a bigger mess. Parents are now being open as compared to the past such that they are teaching their kids about sex education and learning new things from them about technology or modern trends which one could not even imagine decades back.  My mother taught me about sex education when I think I was in class sixth or seventh. But, when I haven't entered my teens and was a bit small to know the stuff and surprisingly discovered pads in my home, I asked my mother what these are, and she came up with a quick reply of "adult diapers."
