How can we be good parents ?

Answer 1

People will say love and discipline and those are great. Interpret love as something that allows your children to express their individual self and you will be loving them and they will be happy.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Let you kids know that they have your love and support.

Talk to people who brought up kids in the 1950s. There's a lot to be said for teaching good manners and respect for others and teaching responsibility, not just freedom.

You can also spend a little money on books/DVDs about particular problems that your kids might face, about a couple of years before they are likely to encounter the problem. You can read them yourself and give them to the kids. For example, avoiding school-bullying (by not annoying the other kids and not disrespecting other people), study-skills, sex-education (reproduction, fun, avoiding STDs and unplanned pregnancies), dating, relationships, how to be a good parent themselves, staying safe from crime, etc.

You can look at career planning every few years. Don't rely on school careers advisors. Research careers on the net and in books and ask on here what people in a particular job really think of it and what someone's career path would be like if they start in a particular job.

Financial planning is something else you can do. Its a good idea to invest something now in a pension or college fund or shares that are going to show compound-growth for many decades. That way it can double, quadruple, etc. Even if you can only afford a tiny amount, it acts as a reminder to contribute more.

Answer 3

Smother them with love. Always tell them that you love them. Listen...even if it's not something they're saying out loud. Remember what it's like to be their age. You're not their buddy...you're their parent. Don't be afraid of putting your foot down. Give them everything they need, but not everything they want. Teach them to respect others. Always be there for them. Forgive. Teach responsibility. Tuck them in at night and tell them you love them. Hugs are always good! Laugh with them. Make them the most important thing in your life. Make cookies. Teach them how to ride a bike. You're responsible for making the memories with them that will last for the rest of your lives. Set an example so they know what to try to be when they're parents!

Answer 5

Investing your time and energy into your children. Praise them when they do something good and let them know when they do something unacceptable and tell them why it is unacceptable. Be consistent in everything don't let them see you sweat. Get involved in things that they like, baseball, ballet, painting whatever you see they have an interest in. Stay active ! I know that they may seem hard at some times but do the best that you can. One more thing "Never argue in front of them or around them" it will devastate them and change their view of relationships.
