Being a good parent that your child needs have some basic rules and principles. From birth to death, a child needs parents' care and protection; and while still young, they need to be brought up properly.
Here are 5 principles that every parent need to adapt to raise good kids;
1. What you do matters
What you do really matters; in fact this matters a lot since there is a probability that they will adopt whatever you do. If you smoke, drink the then no doubt they will follow your track. Kids learn from what parents do.
2. Do not be too loving
"Spare the rod and spoil the child", this say has been here for long now and we understand what it means. Showing your children too much love may spoil them and if it does then it will be serious that yourself you will find it hard to correct. Love them but love them enough. Do not spoil your kids with too much love.
3. Your child's life is yours too
Once you take your children's lives as yours, you will always feel that you really need to take care of them and ensure they get the best out of life. Being a parent needs sacrificing what you need to do for your child's well being.
4. Set rules
Establish and set rules that will guide your grown seeds into good life. These rules should be meant to shape their behaviour when they are still young so that they don't get a hard time trying to change when they are older or maybe when you are not around.
5. Foster your child's independence
They need to know that they should be surviving even when you are not around. They need to direct and control themselves in the right way so that they learn to be successful without you having to show them how. You need to set limits for them that encourage independence.
Being an active parent takes time and requires hard work.
