This is not always the easiest to do because what you tell your child often sticks with them for a long time. Someone on Reddit asked what piece of advice every parent should tell their child and as you can imagine people were more than happy to chime in with their words of wisdom. Here's some of the advice people shared and many more words of wisdom can be found at Buzzfeed.com.
