How To Be A Good Parent

Love Unconditionally

You have the responsibility of correcting and guiding your children as a parent. However, how you deliver corrective feedback makes a significant impact on how kids respond to it. Avoid accusing, condemning, or identifying faults when confronting your child, as these actions can lower their self-esteem and cause resentment.

Instead, even when disciplining your children, attempt to nourish and encourage them. Make sure they understand that, while expecting better the next time, your love will always be there for them. Recognize that you are an imperfect parent. As the family head, you have both strengths and weaknesses. Make a promise to work on your weaknesses.

It is okay not to know everything, be patient with yourself. Admit when you’re exhausted. Take a break from parenting to do things that will make you feel good about yourself. Placing your needs first does not make you a selfish person. It simply shows that you are concerned about your well-being, another essential quality to teach in your children.
