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. This means that no child is perfect either and as parents, we have to set our expectations accordingly. 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 role models for them. Here are 10 parenting tips that will make you a better parent.
Be A Good Role Model
Walk the walk. Don’t just tell your child what you want them to do. Show them.
Human is a special species in part because we can learn by imitation. We are programmed to copy other’s actions to understand them and to incorporate them into our own. Children, in particular, watch everything their parents do very carefully. So, be the person you want your child to be — respect your child, show them positive behavior and attitude, have empathy towards your child’s emotion — and your child will follow suit.
