When it comes to parenting it there are 101 different ways to do it right. As long as your kids grow up happy, with a stable home life and positive ideals, you’ve done your job and you can rest easy. The issue with today’s parents is that by trying too hard in certain areas they can fall down in others. So while you should be saying no to negative and yes to positive, you might be worrying about calorie intake and stuff like that. Yes, your kids health is important but it’s not really that hard to stop them eating sugary junk. Just don’t have it in the house…
It’s important that a strong sense of right and wrong is instilled from an early age. Morality is something which makes us into strong members of society. Kids who respected and even feared the wrath of their parents grow up responsible and later have a good relationship with their parents. Kids who were best friends with their parents grow up egotistical with no sense of respect for authority figures.
A parent’s job is getting their child ready for the, often cruel, world. Coddling them will just hurt them later on as they’ll be shocked that no-one else is as allowing and forgiving as their parents were. Making sure they understand actions have consequences and negativity leads to more of the same is as important as making sure they grow up with confidence and high self esteem.
A parent’s job was never going to be an easy one but it’s certainly rewarding when your hard work leads to a wonderful and well rounded human being with whom you can be friends.
