I disagree. Driving a car is something you can only do with training. It's a fundamentally alien concept, like read and writing. If you don't learn it, you can't do it. I don't think you can say the same about parenting. I think it's far more of an instinctual thing. That doesn't mean that you can't improve your parenting skills, but more in the way that you can learn to run faster. You could always run, training just makes you do it faster.
