Possibly the same reason so many of the self-proclaimed experts on religions seldom have any faith of their own. Some call it objective detachment. Others say it's just arrogant sophistry.
Most of the acknowledged experts on kids 'have no kids' because their offspring have already grown up, moved out, and started their own families.

Because I have looked up what it costs to raise one from birth to 18. And now it not uncommon for them to live with you well into their 30s. Hmmmm not really an expert. Just smart enough to know that I do not have the money to raise a child and would not subject an innocent soul to this cruel heartless world. Some people feel the need to pro-create and that is fine. I just do not want to. It is a personal choice.

Does everyone with kids believe that the "expert" advice does not work?

Because they think schooling is more important then hands on experience. I'd take advice from a parent whom I respect ANY day over someone who spent 10+ years earning a PHD. I'm not disrespecting higher education (otherwise, I'd be disrespecting myself also), it's just that people put to much into "title" and "status". I'll take experience and results over title, status, and education ANY DAY OF THE WEEK (when it comes to raising children that is).

cus they are too busy studying about kid's.
i use to think the same way like you. but, if you see what doc's have to do to become a child specialist is grueling work. they are around children all the time studying and analyzing them.
think about it. we have our own children and we may know them by their obvious likes and dislike's their strenghths and weaknesses. we know their routines. we know their character's their possible moral. ect....it takes year's for us to know every aspect of who they are and take their changes they go through and know those parts as well.
child specialist will meet your children and they could meet with them for a couple of hour's and can come up with the answer to the childs problem's just like that.
along with what's said above, a specilist doesnt need to know every detail about your child such as what we know about our children. all they need to know is their current behavior, current feeling's. and your record of what's been going on. that's all they need to come to a conclussion. whether it's a psychlogical problem or physicla problem.
i think too we are not biased we are emotionally conected to our children. we dont want to see a problem when there is one. like to say, "no, not my child, my child would never do that" but a specilailst would beg to differ and will be head on.
it's the whole idea that an out sider can see problem's crystal clear. specialist are not likely to be affected in their decission about your child because they dont have an emotional attachment to your child. so this is a huge point.
to sum it up. a person doesnt have to have a child in order to understand children.
i hope this was helpful sincerly a mother of 3 age's 2,7,14

Because they think they know so much about kids that they spend their life telling others how to raise their kids a nd they find little time to raise any of their own.

Same reason people think university studies prove anything. Some times students have the advantage above those in the chaos of the field.

I would like to know this one too. Giving birth to my first child I asked the midwife to leave because she had all the good tips and no kids herself. If you never had this pain don't tell me to breath it away.
And if you don't have children yourself don't tell me not to be upset with them after 10 hours of uninterrupted asking "are you sure" etc.
It also kills me when "men" talk about PMS etc. and what to do.
