My kids are 4 and 7 months. I have time to turn my parenting around.

No. However, I do not think that am necessarily worse than them either. I have made my fair share of mistakes as a parent over the years, and the one thing I think is true at the end of the day is that, as a typical parent, one does the very best they can at parenting. You can read all the self help books and watch all parenting videos in the world but experience will teach you better than all of them. Be consistent in your discipline, don't be afraid to own up to your mistakes and vow to do better and your kids will take that example with them into adulthood.
