Similarly, parenting is all about psychology and knowledge of kids. You learn aspects of it from dealing with various kinds of people including 100s of kids you come across your life by the time you have your own kids.

If experience is a must for parenting, no one would be able to raise their first kid.

There are a million diet and exercise books out there and forums where you can read about others experiences, but still two-thirds of America is obese. Books and others experiences can only give you guidelines, you need to put in the effort and time and learn from your mistakes. You don't go from fat to fit the first day you start after reading books and forums/experiences. The same holds true for Parenting. No one is perfect when they raise their first kids - they make mistakes and hopefully learn from it.

And still repeat them or make new ones.
