How To Be A Good Parent?

A child understands the meaning of relation and love for the first time in his life with his parents. It was his mother who made him understand the meaning of “Love” and it was his father who made him understand the meaning of “Responsibility”. A boy or a girl always tackle the world in the way their parents does Because they are always the first role models for them.

Positive parent-child relationships help children learn about the world – whether the world is safe and secure, whether they’re loved, who loves them, what happens when they cry, laugh or make a face, and much more because it helps them to face the cruel world. There is no definite formula to apply for becoming an ideal father or an ideal mother but if you want a healthy parent-child relationship than you need to work in it over time because every child is different. The behaviour of each child is unique and only their parents know how to tackle their child.

Some parents are strict and some are very loving because they have their own perception of learning and understanding things. Some want their child to be obedient and very particular about each and everything while another share a very lovable bond with their children which sometimes gives extra leverage to the child and this results in various changes in the personality and behaviour of the child.

Some healthy tips to become a good parent are:

1) Participate in each and every activity

In today's world mostly both the Parent (mother and the father) are working parents who do not get enough time for their child so, it is advisable for these kinds of parents to do Participate in each and every activity of their child so that he would also feel that his parents are always with him.

2) Let him take the lead

You should give freedom to your child to take decisions and give a little direction so as to improve the decision-making power of your child. You should not force your children to follow your orders but stand side by side in each and every decision of him so as to correct him and also to motivate him.

3) Motivate and guide him

You should always Motivate your child by praising him for his good work and also guide him on making a wrong one. You should scold your child for making a mistake but to a certain level or else he will be afraid to take a call in each situation afterwards. He will be afraid to do a new task and can also face disappointments.

4) Talk to them

This seems to be very basic yet a very important point to be taken care of as a parent. Always spare some time from your busy life and talk to your child. Talking may include his daily routine that what he has done the whole day, what does he/she like in sports, etc so that he should be comfortable with you to share his grievances and problems on the coming life.

Since there is no formula to becoming an ideal parent but for me, there is only a formula to be applied for becoming a good and Ideal parent:

“Before becoming his parent, try becoming his friend”

Most commonly, Everyone shares his secrets, grievances, Love affairs and most of the sensitive topics firstly with his friends. Friends are the relations and actually, they are the emotions of trust and faith. So if you want to live in the heart of your child throughout your life than Become his friend.

Parents are always the first teacher, a guide, a child's first love and also a God who gave his birth and introduced him to this world. The children are like clay when they are born but it is the responsibility of parents to mould him or her in the way exactly which they want. They are like seeds who need your shower of love to become a plant. They also need some hammering in the way of scolding and punishments so as to shape their own future. At last, he is your own child and what his behaviour will be in the future depends upon you......If you give him more and more freedom to do anything with the fake name of love that he might destroy everything in the last but If you make him understand the Rights and Wrongs of each situation then he will become an intelligent personality who could take his decisions on his own and choose the correct path in his life because “Parents never stay with their child throughout their life but their teachings does. Children are always the reflection of their parents.”
