Good question! I think because I listen, value my daughter as a unique, sometimes strange, beautiful creature. Also, and most kids disagree with this until they leave home, if then. I
insist on being close enough to her I know her moods, likes, friends, whereabouts,schedule etc. Sounds like a jailguard?
Well, I want her well, happy, and well adjusted. But the biggest reson I think I am a good Parent is because she has told me for the whole 22 years of her life that I was.

Only my kids can really answer this ?.
I never ever say; Because I said so.
I never not give them an answer or reason.
I will let them help decide a fair punishment.
The punishment has to fit with what they did wrong.
Example if they stayed up till 3am watching T.V. then couldn't get up for school. Well they would lose all T.V.
I always listen to what they have to say even if I don't like it.
I try real hard to make sure they get to say how they feel about things, I don't think it is healthy to hold thing in.
Do I make mistakes; oh h*ll yes Do I tell them I'm sorry for being wrong. Yes
Am I better at being a parent than most, NO far from it cause everyone does it their own way and they do what they think is best at the time.
I main goal for my kids is to be healthy and happy always has been and always will be.

I have 2 boys. A 5 yr old and 2 and a 21 month old. I communicate alot with my 5 yr old. Our children mean the whole world to my husband and I and who they grow up to be means everything to us. We are careful of the way we communicate with each other in front of our boys. In fact our relationship has improved tremendously for the sake of our love for each other and the boys.

Never answer a question with "because I said so".
That usually just makes the child more aggravated, and makes them respect you less (because you can't validate what you are saying).
Don't be so strict, makes children more rebellious because you don't give them the right amount of freedom.

I had always thought I was a good parent,I listened to my son didnt rule his life was always there for him through thick and thin , Tried to let him be his own person.
but I guess it wasnt enough he is grown now and he doesnt even talk to me wont let me see my grand kids, I guess I just didnt do something right.

My kids are independent, free thinkers, get good grades in school, work hard, can talk to me about anything and have friends.

My child is always happy. Everybody around say to me "You do a great job, your daughter is always happy and beaming".
We keep private tutors for her, take her to gymnastic classes and and do a lot more than many other parent do for theirs.
