#1 Instilling a love of God %26amp; the importance of putting him first in their lives will provide them the foundation to love %26amp; respect themselves, others, animals %26amp; the environment.
#2 Discipline.
#3 Encouraging them to succeed.
#4 Being suppportive but at the same time remember that you are the parent.
#5 Provide for their needs %26amp; show them how to share what they have with others.
#6 Teach them the importance of saving money %26amp; spending wisely. (Especially about how credit cards work)
#7 Tough love is ok.The most important part of parenting?
Setting them appropriate boundaries and within those giving them all of the love and attention that they need.
That means giving them what they *need* not what they ';want'; and not just in the material sense.
That means being a *parent* and not a ';friend'; to them (although as adults you can have a friendly realtionship but even then you worry for them!).
If they are decent they shall appreciate what you did for them as children even if at the time you had to be ';Horrible Mummy'; sometimes!
Teaching them whatever they need to know to survive on their own and be a contributing member in society. That should be the main goal of parenthood.....
From day one NEVER TALK BABY TALK! Teach them honor and praise them when they do good. Show them how to be self sufficient and teach them work ethics. When they turn 15-17 make them prove that they can do it on their own by having them take on more responsibility. Never let them stay until they are 30 and let them play when they are 10.
I will say that no matter what if they are very expontaneus , calm or tornado on the house.. I will be proud to tech them good values and morals to be good kids, teens and adults as you where teach..But I will say most important will be the privilege of being a parent and have the joy to love my own kids and raised them to be good.. I have always say they are little angels send to bless us ...I just love my kids I would want for them not to suffer or have bad moments but life is not easy and we learn most of the times from our own mistakes...
Letting go a little at a time. I detest seeing mothers that refuse to let their kids grown up and make their own choices. There are milestones in every child's life where you need to be proud of them, not clinging on with both hands. Let the child grow up, able to make choices and capable of entering the adult world ready to handle the responsibility. I want to scream at all the mother's that prefer their grown sons to be crippled by need of their momma. Cut the strings already!!!
Well, my daughter is only 3 and the most important part of parenting for me is realizing I won't do everything right and not to be hard on myself when I do make mistakes. My daughter is loved and that's the most important part of all.
to instill love, respect and discipline in their formative years,
Well, I think the obvious things are to keep them physically safe, to keep them fed %26amp; healthy, and to keep them from harm both mentally and emotionally.
The more subtle things I think are important are instilling a great sense of self-esteem, kindness, work ethic, love, and independence. I think poor self-esteem is behind so many poor decisoins teenagers make %26amp; for that matter....even adults. Teaching your child independence helps them live a happy, full life WITHOUT you in it. So many parents try to hold on so tightly to their children even when they are well old enough to care for themselves. The product of GREAT parenting is a child who doesn't NEED their parents to rely upon.
Love, love and more love. But MOST importantly, making sure THEY KNOW YOU LOVE THEM. Everything else will follow.
guidance, teaching them responsibility, and love
Family, guidance, routine, respect, health, following the rules, bending the rules, fulfillment, character.
These are the things that matter the most to me as a parent, and as a daughter.
Teaching them morals and respect and to have confidence in what ever they set out to do. And to let them know you are always there for them. I have raised 4 children I also have 2 grandchildren And i think that If we are consistant parents and raise them with the above things i have mentioned give them good education. we won't have a bunch of self centered brats running the world,
