What Makes A Good Parent?
A good parent is someone who strives to make decisions in the best interest of the child. What makes a great parent isn’t only defined by the parent’s action, but also their intention. A good parent doesn’t have to be perfect. No one is perfect. No child is perfect either … keeping this in mind is important when we set our expectations.
Successful parenting is not about achieving perfection. But it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t work towards that goal. Set high standards for ourselves first and then our children second. We serve as important role models for them.
