No, but as with everything else in life, experience counts.

In this case it's difficult to say. Experience counts, but experience also distorts perception, especially when we're talking about parental hormones.

Experience did not make me a better programmer or mathematician. Diving deep into the details to get a much better knowledge did.

Actually, as with everything else in life, experience doesn't count at all. More accurately, not all experience counts equally. We know for a fact that the ten thousand hours of practice myth is just a myth. It takes targeted training to get better at something. I'd wager that most parents are just going through the motions because let's be honest — we have no clue what we're doing.
