But then again who is an expert in raising children? The problem is what works with some children doesn't work with others. Heck, even some children from horrible families become smart and good citizens of the world. The problem with raising children is no one really knows why! First hand experience.

There are a lot of experts in raising children. No one is an expert in your child, particularly when combined with your priorities, morals, family history, etc. If anything, it's a curation challenge: given the excess of good advice, books, experts, friends, parents, intuition, etc.—you have to wade through all that to find something that works for you and gets the results you want.

Yeah, there are a lot of books & experts but they're likely not going to be able to give you the actual answers you need for your particular situation.
