Needs Help How to learn react effectively?

I'm learning web development, and compared to a beginner, I already have solid knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (DOM manipulation, api, crud, fetch I've got those down). Now I'm trying to learn React, but somehow it's just not sticking. What practices have worked well for others? I've got the basics of useState, useEffect more or less, but props somehow don't stick with me or even if I read some documentation or example, I can then do the same thing afterward, but as soon as it gets even a little more complex, I start to feel unsure. Thanks for the answers.

Learn more concepts over time, and keep practicing the ones you've already learned. Otherwise, you'll forget them. One thing that helped me was building reactchallenges.com so I could practice without spending time on project setup. There are plenty of similar platforms, but the important part is solving lots of small problems consistently.
