Easy! : Dont get drunk in front of your kids, stay with the kids dad, if not dont bring a nasty new boyfriend in your house, make sure your kids will never hear or/and see you having sex. Dont swear in front of them, dont argue with partner in front of them, dont spoil your kids too much, make them do chores with you around the house so they appreciate to live in a clean house, be fair with them, make sure they homework are done, help them do them if you cant pay private tuitions. Make sure they arent bullied at school if yes sort the problem out very quickly! dont let them eat junk food only very occasionally, make sure they do sports and organise sleepovers to ensure they social life is fulfilled. And tell them you love them and be close to them!

Aw, Rae, I can tell you are a great mother just by asking this question!
For me, being a good mother has meant having lots of patience, having no particular expectations, but nurturing my son's dreams and thoughts, no matter how crazy they might sound. For example, he started talking about how he would like to go to Japan bc that's where they make anime cartoons. I got him some books on the history and geography of Japan, a Japanes translation book, a map of Tokyo, etc, and we sat down and just let our imaginations soar all over Japan. Now, Japan is not high on my list of places of where I want to go, and we are not Japanese! But instead of squelching the idea or ignoring his interest, I tried to nurture it.
I should add that my son has Asperger's, which is NOT autism, which some people confuse it with. He is a regular kid with some neourocognitive quirks. But he does need some extra understanding and help. This is how I became a "better" mother. I rose to the needs of my child, and I let those needs, and my infinite love for him, guide my path.
Patience, love, and encouragement all the time. Shine your light of love on your children like they are houseplants and they will grow and thrive!
Bright Blessings,

The question is not very informative, in what manner do you mean besides being a mother try being a very close friend they will love you for that.

All it takes to be a good parent is to be willing to talk with your kids, listen to their concerns, give you advice and MOST importantly, LOVE them. Love them in everything you do with them and be willing to actually spend time with them. Even if it's just 15 minutes a day, just talking. Kids need input from their parents and they need to be abvle to talk, not just speak but actually hold a conversation. No lecturing, no bossing, just conversation.
