My parenting tip is: if you're expert at something, teach it to your children.

This is a big one. My dad always talked about how to manage people and I always listened. While he couldn't teach me much about computers, what he did teach me has been far more useful than anything I learned in school.

It's a good tip, and should come with the warning to not hesitate to back off and give up if you feel it isn't working.

Teaching what you best know regularly fails depending on your field and your kids inclinations, with no specific fault of your own or your kids.
