How do you know if you are doing good as a parent?

Question

What re assurance do we have?

Answer 1

I know I'm a good parent because both my kids:

- kids are happy
- healthy
- good students
- good athletes
- I am told by their teachers that they are very good little people who are polite and well behaved
- they are both helpful around the house
- they love their parents

I was told yesterday by a co-worker that I am a great dad...that makes it all worthwhile.

Answer 2

We dont have any assurance, we can only do the best we can, and remember their are classes out there to help, also support groups. That is if you find that you have time for these after you have children.

Answer 3

Nice preocupation.It shows how concerned you are tobe good to your children and to your partner in marriage.

I think you will know that you are doing good as a parent when first of all you feel satisfied and happy about what you are doing and also with the reaction of people you are surrounded with (your children especially).

Try to develop a relationship with them so that you will be opened to them to know their opinion, but still dont' forget that above it all you are a parent and there are those times that you have to be tought with your children

and that no child appreciate.

You are already good in being concerned.

Good day

Answer 4

If your baby is thriving and generally happy, then you're doing fine. Everybody has a different parenting method, and every child is going to be ****** up by their parents one way or another. A parent who is concerned enough to inquire about their parenting skills is usually going to be a good parent.

Answer 5

Are your children happy? Do they have friends? Are they a credit to you and your family? Are you proud of them? Are their teachers happy with them?
If so, you're doing okay and the best you can.
By the way, those who say "all you need is love" have never been a teenager who feels they absolutely have to have "those" trainers! Kids need more than "just love" - they need emotional and financial stability, too. They need to fit in with their peers, too.

Answer 6

We don't have any. If you think they are genuinally happy then you must be doing somehting right. My kids and I always have a "talk about" just before they go to sleep. So if anything is worrying them or anything like that, thats when they tell me. It has become a big thing and heaven help me if I forget.

Answer 7

U'd know by assessing the character of your children when they mature.

The teenage period is not representative, though when it passes you'd truely realize whether you've brough up a dignant and a worthy person.

The key is to be by ur child's side even when s/he rejects your assistance and advice- let him/her know you're behind his/her back no matter what and teach him/her of all you know and of all the true human values!

Answer 8

If your children don't like being home with you, then you messed up. A solid home life is a sign of loving parents.

Answer 9

food on the table clothes on the back roof over the head...bottem line but for those yuppys a lil love and support goes along way

Answer 10

As long as you provide them with love and understanding you should never question yourself also never hit, treat them with respect... to quote the Beatles "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!"
