I think they best you can do is be there for your children when they are happy,sad or angry or anything really and support them and advise them and at times listen....really listen to them because most of the times when your children want to tell them something they won't say it directly.Always lead them by example and sometimes children do stupid stuff but keep your calm and instead of going all hulk sit then down and while being firm gently make them understand and keep showing them that you love them.

share and encourage their interests, have a second childhood with them - play with them and enjoy it, make learning fun, read stories to them at bed-time. when they're older, respect boundaries and allow them to make and learn from their mistakes, advise and guide them as they prepare for adult life. most importantly, love them - tell them you do and show it with hugs and smiles. ask them for their opinion about events. listen to their concerns and protect them from danger.

Every child and every parent are different. There are no set rules to making a good parent. Each family is unique. Making time for my family, being affectionate, trying to be a good role model, learning to say no and making time for myself, for me personally are some of the essentials. One mistake parents tend to make is comparing themselves to others. Not everyone is on the same path and everyone has different ideals and thoughts on bringing up a family. That's fine. Do what's best for you and your family.

To me being a good parent is loving, caring, and everything a child wants in a parent. Which is to know that you will always be there for them, and help them through tough times in life. To let your child know that you can be trusted and depended on. That you can there for them and help them out to be the person they want to be in life.

Be loving, accepting and forgiving. Never tell the child they were a mistake, and dont make them feel useless. however keep in mind that we're all human and we will make mistakes and it's okay.
