What makes a good parent?

In the early stages of a child’s life, a good parent is one who is very patient. You look after the safety and well-being of your child and make sure they are in a loving environment. As the child gets older, you try to understand their perspective. Any parent can scold their child for not following the rules. A good parent will listen to the child with the intention of understanding. Good solutions come from a better understanding of the problem. A good parent is also one who is involved in the child’s life. Talk to them about what is important to them. Play games and teach them about the world ❤️

A love for the child and a desire to improve are invaluable. Other skills can be learned, such as consistency with good boundaries and rules, and raising them to be productive adults with good morals.

Someone who will care for an nurture the unique individual before them, and not project any requirements onto the budding individual, any needs to become anything too specific. I believe that is their choice to make, as they mature, and too often parents can push a child to specialize before they have a chance to realize, their unique gifts, which might not manifest until after puberty even. Keeping as open a mind as possible makes a good parent.

What traits do good parents have in common? Are there certain things that someone does that makes him or her a good parent (or not a good parent)? Of course, the definition of a good parent isn't something that's fixed or absolute. What may seem like the traits of a good parent to one person may not fit that definition for someone else. But generally speaking, these traits and habits can be found in parents who are practicing good parenting skills. Parents naturally want their kids to succeed and may push, prod, bribe, demand, or even threaten kids with punishment to get them to practice an instrument, excel at a sport, achieve top grades and so on. The fact is, being a Tiger Mom (or Dad) isn't likely to get your child further than giving kids lots of support, and gently nudging if and when they need it.

A good parent is someone who takes the time to be compassionate towards their child. One that listens to their frustrations, allows them to feel, and takes time to be with them. A good parent is one that has an authoritative parenting style in which they are responsive to their child's emotional needs while still having high standards. These type of parents are consistent with their boundaries, are highly responsive, and give their children what they need to succeed. Parents who use this type of parenting style can raise children who are more likely to be independent, self-reliant, academically successful, and well-behaved. These children are less likely to have depression, anxiety, and engage in antisocial behavior. It also encourages their children to recognize how they feel and how that might correlate to their behavior

A good father should do what has to be done for the good of the family, love his family even if it means sacrifice, and educate in the way it should be, without just wanting to please everyone, because it is not and never will be possible. . Loving means giving without thinking of receiving, just because your child is who he was born to be, yet embracing, loving and caring is mandatory. And when the son looks into his eyes and says: -You are the best father in the world! All this will make perfect sense ... ;)

A good parent is a parent who worries about being a good parent. Building healthy relationships, setting good examples, creating good habits, and meeting the basic needs for children provide them with a great parent. In the long run, the best parenting style is what works for you and your family, whether it’s permissive parents or authoritative parents, this depends on what style you decide. If your child is giving you a hard time, this does not label you as a bad parent. The best advice I have heard for parenting is to be their parent, and not their friend.

Parenting is so difficult to define because society places its' own expectations on it. Most important is placing your child first and doing whatever it takes to care for them.

Being there for your kids makes a good parent. However the catch is - its not about the physical presence. The feeling that your kids can come to you in time of need and you will have their back, is what they need. Broadly.. i always say there should be an instruction guide for Parenting but unfortunately its a hands on job. Keep learning keep growing.
