Parenting

Parenting is a skill in The Sims 4: Parenthood. This skill helps parents have more options on raising their children and influencing their growing character values.

Learning
The parenting skill is only available to Sims who are young adults and older. It can be learnt by many different methods. Like with other skills, it can be learnt on a computer using the 'Web > Read parenting forums' option. Parenting books are also available and increase the parenting skill.

Conversations and simple interactions between parents and children will not increase the Sim's parenting skill. However, most other interactions will. These include scolding and punishing children, encouraging behaviors, helping with homework and school projects, teaching toddlers skills and tucking children into bed.
