Good morning everyone. I am honored to be with you today to share my view on parenting. Im going to share my opinions on the difficulties of being parents today, how to raise a kid with all- rounded personality; what the top priority of childrens life should be and finally, my own experience as a child.It is very difficult to be parents today. Not only do we need to make both physical and mental effort as in raising our children, but we also need to make important decisions that will affect the future development of our children. The most difficult part lies in we live in an even-changing society and knowledge based economy. We and our children must be able to adapt to changes. The traditional type of parenting may no longer be suitable for us to follow or serve as a reference. Thus, it is of course important for us, parents to explore and tailor make the most suitable type of parenting for our children.To explore the most suitable type of parenting for our children, we must ask and think about what the top priority of children life should be. In my opinion, the top priority is to develop an open mind to things, and hence, be able to find what one likes to do. We should guide our children on the right path instead of forcing our children to join various extra curriculum activities. We should let them choose what they want to do instead of spoon-feeding them. In short, we should let our children to pursue his or her interest if he/ she is able to find it. If he/ she is not able to find it at the moment, be patient and support your children to do so. It will be just a matter of time when they find it. So there is nothing to worry at all.We all parents wish to raise our kid with all-rounded personality. How can we achieve this goal? For sure, that there are various methods to achieve the same goal. Yet, I believe there is something that we parents must do. We should inculcate our children with the right values. For example, one should uphold our integrity and respect others. And freedom and choice come hand in hand. We should also widen our childrens horizon by encouraging them to join both physical and aesthetic development activities. They should at the same time, be given a suitable degree of autonomy in their childhood. Thus, development their own interest, spark their creativity and socialize with one another.I would like to share my part experience as a child with you. My parents gave a relatively high degree of autonomy to me. Besides, teaching me French, they let me alone to pursuit my own interest. My parents were not college educated and there are little books in our home only. My parents didnt steer. I was free to do whatever want I was drawn to astronomy after I realized there were questions that I could not find the answer from anywhere or anybody. In short, the curiosity-driven approach to learning makes me who Im today. Im glad about that and I would like to thank my parents.Lastly, I would like to share a good phrase with all of you. Attitude decides your altitude. Yes, attitude decides your altitude. Thank you. Best wishes to you and your children.

Now back to parenting. When you show your child love and support, helping him learn how to meet his needs for safety, love, power, fun and freedom in responsible ways, your child will succeed. Throughout the process and at the end, you will maintain a loving, respectful relationship with each other. You will not need to use any bullying behaviors for your child's own good. How can something that is not good, like intimidation, ever help your child achieve something that is for her own good? Isn't that the same illogic logic that some parents use tospank(hit) their children in an attempt to teach their children not to hit? What the King's Speech shows, in the telling of this remarkable tale, is how patiently and lovingly teaching a person while you support them, allows them to succeed. And you maintain a mutually satisfying relationship. This is the essence of Peaceful Parenting experience.Teaching your children takes patience. But you have time with your children - hopefully eighteen years or more. As parents you loveyour children. That doesn't mean there aren't some times in your relationship where you feel annoyed, aggravated or frustrated. But hopefully you always feel love too. Most important of all, parenting takes effort. And when you do your parenting job well, you are putting all three together - patiently and lovingly working with your child for as long as it takes for him to learn how to meet his needs for safety, love, power, fun and freedom responsibly. Parenting is work. And parenting is one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.Are you willing to put in the time and effort it takes to teach, show, demonstrate, over and over again until your toddler understands how to meet her need for power responsibly? Are you willing to repeat and repeat and repeat working out with your child what is necessary for him to responsibly handle the additional freedom and privileges that come with adolescents? Are you willing to spend time, energy and effort, even when you are tired and want to put your feet up and relax, to help your child practice throwing a ball so she can have greater success on her softballteam? Are you willing to consider changing some of the rules you have created around homework completion so that your child can meet his friends on a school night? And most important of all, are you willing to do this over and over and over again?It is quicker and easier to yell, berate, intimidate, bully and punish your child into submission to get what you want - your child to stop doing something you don't want and start doing something you do want. It takes much more time and effort to work with your child to figure out what she wants, tell her what you want and create a plan for both of you to succeed. The first method may be expedient, but is destructive to the relationship between you as well as your child's relationship with herself. And there still is no guarantee of success as the stammering, stuttering adult prince shows us in the movie. No matter how well intentioned, his parents bullying strategies did not work for either of them.Parenting takes more energy and continual effort than you ever realized. The King's Speech, as wonderful as it is, is only a movie. And the movie version of this remarkable relationship between the king and therapist, two people who became friends, is nothing compared to the intensity and power in a relationship between parent and child. The reward of being a parent is a lifetime of need fulfillment for both, perhaps an even greater reward than that between these two men of the movie. I hope The King's Speech can provide you the inspiration to do what you can, lovingly, patiently continually as you support your child to become the remarkable adult you hope for. Let The King's Speech be one guide to help you stop bullying and start teaching.

Good Parents Encourage Their Children to Express ThemselvesGood parents allow children to be who they really are, regardless of how that reflects on the parents. This freedom of self-expression leads to higherself-esteemand strongerpersonality development. Self-expression is especially crucial during the tween years when a child issearching for her true identity. If a tween is not allowed to explore many possible selves, he mayinstead act how his parents or other influential people want him to, which may cause identity issues later on.Good Parents Make Themselves AvailableIn our busy world, no one can be available to their children 24-7, by any means. Instead, good parents make time each day to focus solely on their children, without distractions from television, computers or phones. Dedicated quality time opens the lines of communication, which is especially important as tweens face potentially heavy issues likebullying,anxietyandmood changes.Good Parents Listen ActivelyGood parents engage inactive listening, in which they restate and mirror back what their child is saying and feeling. Doing so makes a child feel truly heard. Supportive parents also encourage their children to communicate their emotions by asking questions like, "How did that make you feel?" Finally, good parents avoid giving advice unless specifically asked and refrain from interjecting personal anecdotes into the conversation. Listening means listening, not talking.Good Parents Demonstrate WarmthA hallmark of the best parenting style, calledauthoritative parenting, involves showing warmth. Warmth is demonstrated through positive facial expressions, patient actions and affectionate speech. Being warm does not mean agreeing with everything your child does or says. Rather, it means consistently showing emotional affection toward the child as a person even when disciplining him for inappropriate actions.Good Parents Set Clear BoundariesWhile it may be tempting to be friends with your child first and foremost, good parents respect that there is a parent-child hierarchy. Children thrive when there is structure in their lives, and rules help create that structure. Therefore, supportive parents set up clear rules and consequences and follow through on discipline when boundaries are crossed. Doing so helps kidslearn responsibility. During the tween years, good parents often allow children to be part of the decision making process about what constitutes reasonable rules and punishments.

I feel extremely blessed to have been given academic training in a field that gave me techniques that I can use during the administration of therapy as well as in my parenting efforts. I have compiled the top five effective parenting techniques I have acquired through my experiences as a Speech Language Pathologist.Look for the Positive:While completing my graduate work I attended a class in which the professor was teaching us about positive praise. During the lecture one of my classmates asked the question What if there is nothing to give praise for what if the child is not doing anything correct? The professors answer was swift and clear There is always something you can give positive praise about, and if you cant find it you simply arent looking hard enough. As a speech language pathologist I think back to the professors answer whenever I am working with a difficult child but I really put it to the test during my second year of experience. I was assigned to deliver services at a specific elementary school that also housed what was referred to as the behavior unit. I provided speech and language services to approximately 75% of the children in the class over the next two years before the class was moved to another school. The behavior unit is a special class that is made up of all the children from the school district that require a more restrictive environment because they are unsafe to the individuals in their regular education classrooms. Most of the children in the class were placed there as a result of severe physical harm they had caused to their peers or teachers, or extremely inappropriate behavior they had presented. At the initiation of services to the students in this classroom, I regret to say that I was apprehensive, nervous, and a little frustrated that I was going to have to learn to deal with these children. Looking back now I am grateful for the experiences I had with these children as they taught me more about behavior management and looking for the positive than any other of my therapy experiences. I learned to love the children and found great joy in the progress they were able to make. It wasnt always easy to work with these children as days could often be filled with threats of violence, abusive language, and extreme persistence to avoid any and all work that was presented. Sometimes the only thing I could find to praise was the way the child was sitting in their seat or they way they produced a sentence without a curse word. However, I found that if I focused on the childs strengths (even if they were trying at great lengths to hide any strengths they had) it helped make the child feel safe, appreciated, and open to trusting me and developing a relationship with me. I truly believe that if you look for the positive in anyone you will find it. And if you take the time to let them know what you see they will be affected positively because of it.2. Communicate the Positive:A great deal of research has been done regarding the power of positive praise. Research was conducted to see how different outcomes correlated with different ratios of positive to negative feedback in a variety of settings (i.e. marriage, workplace, parenting, teaching, etc.). The research revealed that the sweet spot; or the ratio that resulted with the most successful outcome was 5:1 (5 positive comments to every 1 negative comment). This is especially difficult while administering speech therapy, as it often revolves around fixing clients speech and language errors. If you are not careful you can find yourself providing an overwhelming amount of negative comments (Dont do that or Fix that). However, the more you make an effort to be aware of providing positive praise the easier it becomes. It truly does make a difference in the lives of children, especially in the lives of children who suffer with communication disorders, as they dont often feel successful. Make an extra effort to praise them for their efforts (communication wise or otherwise) and I promise you will feel the reward when you see the satisfaction in your childs face as they realize they have accomplished something great!3. Be Specific:So now that we have discussed looking for the positive, and communicating the positive, we will delve into even more detail regardingspecificpositive praise. All children love to hear great job, way to go, and keep up the good work. However, that doesnt really give them any real information about what they did that was great and what they need to continue to do to be successful. Your children are learning and growing constantly. They are experimenting with their boundaries and abilities continuously. It is up to you to provide them with as much errorless learning as possible. Errorless learning is extremely important especially for children who have difficulty learning new things. It is your job as a parent/teacher/etc. to set them up for the greatest amount of success. One of the best ways to do this is to provide SPECIFIC positive praise. For example, when praising your child exchange a generic form of praise (i.e. good job) with I love the way you or I watched how well you and it made me really happy. The needs to be filled with as much specific information as possible and can be used when helping your child with his/her speech and language, with their behavior, or with any skill you are trying to teach. I use specific positive praise every day, with my students, my clients, my own children, and even my own husband and I have found this technique to be very rewarding and useful. For example I might say to my husband You are a great dad. I watched how you patiently taught Brock how to kick the ball, and I saw how much he loved spending that time with you. This not only helps my husband feel good about his parenting moment, but it also helps me to clarify and focus on his strengths, which ultimately helps strengthen our relationship and our motivation to be the best parents we can be. When used with children, specific positive praise produces an empowering teaching moment in which the child doesnt really even notice they are being taught, and they come out of it feeling good about their attempts and their success and are inherently motivated to continue working to be successful.Although being specific is helpful when giving positive praise it is also very helpful when giving constructive criticism. In fact, I believe being specific and genuine is what differentiates constructive criticism from destructive (and ineffective) criticism. This is helpful to keep in mind when your child behaves inappropriately, or when they fail to demonstrate a certain skill correctly. In order for you to teach them and correct their errors effectively it is highly important to give as much specific information as possible. Before instituting a consequence for inappropriate behavior you must let your child know exactly what they did that was unacceptable. Otherwise, they are much more likely to be confused about why they are being punished and repeat the inappropriate behavior. Then you also need to show them specifically what behavior would have been acceptable. For example, while working with a child who suffers from aspergers disorder I learned that I had to be extremely specific in order to teach him appropriate social skills. If I told him to be nice to his classmates I noticed little improvement in his outward behavior. If I discussed what it means to be nice, and I showed him exactly what that looked like he was able to understand and demonstrate those skills so much easier. I was amazed at the amount of progress he made quickly once those skills were explicitly taught. But please be clear that being specific does not always mean being lengthy or necessarily even detailed. It is most effective to explain yourself as simply and as specifically as possible. This could consist of imitating the inappropriate behavior followed by a no-no. Imitations and gestures are good for young children or children who have communication difficulties as they might not understand the language you would be inclined to use in your attempt to be specific. My old supervisor used to observe me giving therapy. If she ever caught me giving a command (especially to a child that was severely delayed) she would always tell me show him what that looks like. For example, I couldnt ever get away with saying use soft hands and leave it at that. I had to instantly demonstrate what soft hands looked like and then give immediate and specific praise if the child used soft hands. This again teaches errorless learning.4. Be precise:It is extremely important that children understand and know their boundaries. Again this is a part of setting up your child for success. I have found precision commands to be the most affective form of boundary setting and consequence follow through. When using precision commands you are setting up an errorless learning system for your child when it comes to expectations for behavior on both their part and your part. Click Hereto learn more about directing and enforcing precision commands.

I love this technique for multiple reasons. It allows the child to know what is expected of them very clearly. It sets a very precise pattern which can be learned by all children even children with severe learning difficulties or very young children. It helps children feel secure as they know what to expect from you. It provides a framework in which a child can receive the first command and will be able to accurately foresee the outcome based on their individual choices. This helps children feel in control and greatly enforces cause and effect and personal responsibility. Although, the technique is quite simple there are a few very important things to keep in mind. DO NOT issue a precision command if you are not willing to follow through with the entire procedure. If you present the commands but do not follow through on the consequences, all you have done is made empty threats and taught your child that what you say does not really mean anything. It is also important not to overuse precision commands they do not need to be used all day long to get your child to comply with your every request. Precision commands are meant to be used only in more difficult situations. Also going back to the first few steps when the child does comply with your command, please remember to give them SPECIFIC PRAISE for doing so.5. Be a Teacher:As mentioned previously multiple times errorless learning is one of the most effective things you can provide as a parent and teacher. There is no exact way to do this (which is funny seeing how I just got finished talking about the importance of precision and specificity). Just keep in mind that when teaching a new skill, whether it be potty training, acceptable behavior in public, or how to read, your teaching will be the most effective if the process your child undergoes to learn it is as errorless as possible. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. I believe that errorless learning can only be taught using a hierarchy of support. For example when providing articulation therapy I want to avoid allowing the child to produce an error in their speech which further promotes inaccurate motor planning and processing. However, not every child can be successful with each speech sound initially and they need to be taught. This is done through support. My support might consist of verbal modeling, tactile prompting, visual cueing, or explicit verbal descriptions (to name a few). Basically I provide the child with whatever amount of support necessary for him/her to be successful. I then tip-toe around the hierarchy providing more or less support as necessary. There are always two goals I have when trying to teach a child a new skill. I ultimately want them to be successful (meaning producing the sound or target correctly) and independent (meaning producing the sound without any outside modeling, prompting, or cueing). In order for the child to be successful initially it typically requires a great deal of support. The next step is to make the child successful independently which can only occur if the prompting, cueing, and modeling is faded as soon as possible (without sacrificing the childs accuracy and success). I think the execution of this process is critical and can be the difference between a mediocre and a great teaching/learning experience. A great teacher knows how to provide the correct amount of support in order to create success and then fade it as quickly as possible in order to create independence with the skill. When teaching a new skill keep in mind that in order to be specific, precise, and simple you need to provide explicit directions, clear modeling, and direct cueing, and then fade these cues as soon as possible. Please realize that there is not a magic recipe for how to teach things successfully being able to move up and down through a hierarchy of support takes a great amount of focus, flexibility, creativity, and patience.

Parenting is a lifelong journey. As parents, we have an important responsibility. Every parent wants to be a good parent and role model for our children. But effective parenting is not easy. It is a journey of trial and error, continuous learning and growing together with your child. While the task can be daunting, parents are certainly not alone in raising your child. Beyond traditional sources of support, there are various community resources that parents can tap on.

3 This is why my Ministry set up the Child Development Network or CDN two years ago. The CDNs mission is to connect the community of stakeholders in early childhood, including professionals as well as families, and champion quality early childhood development. One of its key strategies is parent education and providing resources for parents and other caregivers.

4. I would like to thank the CDN for organising this inaugural Parenting Seminar titled Building the Foundations of Success from Birth. The seminar will equip parents with current information on child development and provide some useful parenting resources that you can use to raise your children. The seminar is part of our continued efforts to support our parents so that they can be more effective parents.

Parents Role

5 The early years between birth and age three are a critical and important phase of development. Children develop faster at this stage than they do at any other period of their lives. Researchers have found that the quality of interactions between a child and his caregivers is the most important in these years. Young children naturally reach out for interaction through sounds, facial expressions and gestures and their brain develops when adults respond back to them. The effort invested in building these early relationships is actually critical for the well-being of the child.

6 What can we as parents do to create a positive home learning environment for our child? There is no need for expensive toys, special programmes, or pushing children to count, read and write ahead of the curve. Early childhood experts have shared with me that it all boils down to building a strong bond with your child. Even routine tasks such as the changing of diapers can become a developmental experience, for example: talk to your child while you are changing his diaper. Look into your childs eyes while you sing or talk. Read or tell stories to your child in the language that you are most comfortable with. Play outdoors. Simple acts like these can develop parent-child relationships that are warm, loving and responsive.

Parents Engagement with Childcare Providers

7 Apart from the home environment, almost all young children attend some form of pre-school today- be it kindergarten or child care. Some children spend up to 12 hours in a child care centre on a daily basis. Thus, it is important to build a strong parent-teacher partnership. Both centres and families can reap benefits when there is a sense of shared responsibility towards the child.

8 There are various ways to get involved in your childs pre-school, for example attending events such as year-end concerts and other celebrations, participating in parent involvement activities such as talks and workshops organised by your pre-school or being involved with the centres programme activities like show and tell and reading to the children. Communicate regularly with your centre staff- they can give invaluable insights into your childs behaviour and developmental progress. You can benefit from this partnership by getting ideas from the centre on how to better support your childs development at home.

Help for Parents Growing with our Child Resource Kit

9 Today, I am also most happy to launch the Growing with your Child resource kit. This kit is aimed at helping parents make the right choices that will help in the healthy growth and development of their children. This is a useful resource kit put together by CDN.

10 This resource kit comprises a handbook as well as a series of video clips. The handbook outlines the developmental milestones of children from birth through 3 years of age, across the different developmental domains physical, language, cognitive, social and emotional growth. It also gives examples of age-appropriate parenting practices to support your childrens learning and development.

11 With this resource, parents can be more aware of what to expect for their young childrens development, and how to apply some good parenting practices that will help build strong relationships and enhance the well-being of your child. The handbook can be found in your goodie bags. The resource kit will be shared with more than 70,000 parents over the next 2 years. A softcopy of the handbook and video clips can also be found online at the CDN website. I would like to encourage you to share this resource with your friends and family.

Conclusion

12 To conclude, let me say that I hope this Parenting Seminar proves useful to all of you, and we hope to make it a regular feature of the CDNs activities. I am sure that over time the CDN will become an effective platform for community engagement and outreach. The CDN web portal is being developed as a virtual resource centre for parents and early childhood educators. The CDN also publishes a monthly e-newsletter that goes out to more than 2500 subscribers and a hard copy Early Childhood Digest which is available at all child care centres, kindergartens and various community touch points. You can find a copy of the Early Childhood Digest in your goodie bag today. We would like to encourage parents to visit the website, subscribe to the e-newsletter and participate in a study that the CDN will conduct next year to better understand the types of parenting resources and information that are most helpful to you.

13 I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairperson and members of the CDN Advisory Committee for providing advice and guidance on the CDNs work, acting as resource persons and supporting the CDNs efforts to develop partnerships and raise the quality of early childhood in Singapore. I would also like to thank our partners, such as the Ministry of Education, National Library Board and Health Promotion Board for working closely with the CDN towards a common goal of supporting childrens development by working with families.

14 Finally, let me say that I am heartened to see so many fellow parents here today, as it shows our interest and intent to be better parents to do what is really helpful for the healthy, happy and holistic development of our children. I encourage all of you to continue learning and growing with your child, through parenting resources and programmes that are widely available in the community.

Thank you.

Good ParentWhat defines a Good Parent? By definition it is someone who gives birth to offspring. However, there is so much more. Parenting consists of many elements such as Love, Attention, Support, Guidance, and Discipline.

Love is the most important and most powerful emotion; consisting of both heart and mind. Emotion is a state being, often accompanied by physical reaction. A deep affection for a child must exist. Affection is part of the love. Devotion to the child, which is love given without question. No strings attached for the love the child needs to achieve full potential. A fondness for a child is part of the loving a child; taking pleasure in being a Parent. A Good Parent.

Giving the child all the attention it needs for the development of their mind and body. Nursing the child to grow up healthy; nurturing to their every need to make them feel safe and gaining their trust. So the child knows that they will not get hurt; to look out for the child's best interest. Knowing that the child is always is taking care of.

Parenting is also about giving proper guidance; guiding them in the right direction. Help lead a child to choose the correct action; the proper way to conduct them selves.Supporting a child mentally is essential for a parent; helping the child strengthens mind and body. Fulfilling the needs of a child is a key ingredient for gaining the trust one needs to be a good parent. The parent needs to be patient, tolerating the learning of the child. Actively in favor of whom the child wants to be.

Discipline is the tool in which a parent sets fourth rule for the child to obey, training the child mentally. Enforcing the rules for the child, when the child breaks the rules there is a punishment. Discipline also builds the character the will have through out life. Character consists of the child's attitudes, interests, actions, personal philosophy of life; the detectable quality that makes a child an...

What makes good parents

The bond between parents and children is one of love and affection; yet we come across people who hate their parents and also people who feel that their parents have let them down. Why it this the case ? Are these people unnatural or are they justified ? Perhaps in some cases they are justified. Most men and women get married and have children but not all of them are worthy of being parents. Parenthood, like other responsibilities, needs devotion, dedication and a lot of preparation. Prospective parents must recognize their responsibilities and realize what parenthood involves.The first essential of good parenthood is the acceptance of the role. A man who marries when he is young may resent his first child for it would be a rival for the affection of the lady of the house. Similarly. a woman may resent her first child because it suddenly puts her in a different class of women. Couples who become parents can no longer call their time their own. Often the newcomer may necessitate changes in the household routine, giving up of a job on the part of the mother and various other sacrifices. The world of affection which should surround a child should precede its birth. It is here that good parenthood begins.Fondness, however, is at no stage a synonym of pampering and spoiling children. Parents have the responsibility of cultivating those qualities in their children which may help them to face life, make them brave and likeable human beings, impart to them a sense of integrity and strength and these lessons cannot be learnt haphazardly. Parenthood is a full-time task and the only way of cultivating the right habits in children is through example and by providing an atmosphere which is conducive to the growth of these qualities. A child learns these virtues at home and the influence of his parents can counteract all other influences whether good or bad.This is the theoretical aspect; in practice, the recipe for good parenthood is love and understanding. These two envelop a whole world in themselves. Love means love in the right degree, love which does not ignore discipline, love which does not yield for the wrong reasons and for the wrong ends, love which can provide security and confidence for the growing child, love which leads to sacrifices and makes one devote some time and join in enjoying the simple pleasures of childhood. Understanding means trying to find what the child wants and why, giving him the freedom to try new ideas, to experiment with hobbies and learn from the world of nature. Understanding in love becomes hiding one's fears and allowing the child to develop a sense of adventure and fearlessness; it means loving without clinging. It is not only confined to this, it extends further. It includes patience and forbearance. There may be occasions when a child may be afraid of things: of participation in social and public functions, of swimming of heights and endless other things. Understanding means trying to find out the reasons for the fear and perhaps giving in for the time being and helping the child to overcome it gradually.Whatever is of value in the human character is born out of love and understanding. There can be no strict rules that one should say "No"' or put one's foot down or allow a child complete freedom. Each situation has to be judged and examined individually and each parent has to make the decision himself or herself. But there can be one rule: don't corrupt the child. Don't teach it to accept the second best, don't bribe it into obedience, don't be tyrannized by its tantrums, don't blackmail it or allow it to blackmail you. If the child remains incorruptible, it has every chance of growing up to be a person of generosity and compassion.Being a good parent is in itself a process of growing up. One should have the capacity to love and to love wisely: it is this kind of person who makes a good parent. Share yourself with your children and they will love you and learn from you.

Topic: what are some qualities of a good parent?essayDifferent parents have their own ways to teach their children, and all of them always want to become good parents and bring all best things for their children. However, does (anyone) knowexactly aboutwhat are THE characteristics of a good parent? As far as I am concerned, there are three mains qualities that a good parent must have, those are consideration, care and being patient.

To begin with, a good parent always considers their children. In order to become good parents, each parent has to understand their children and communicate with them. Through consideration, parentS can build A good relationship with their children and understand their THOUGHTS, and they can decide how to bring their children up. For instance, children often have some trouble intheschool, such as being shy with teacher or worryING about lessons, and theyalsooften do not tell these problems TO their parents. Nevertheless, if parents spend their time to observe and talk with their children, they can recognize these issues and find many good ways to helptheir childrenTHEM to fix these issues.

In addition, parentS have to be patient with their children. Children are very intelligent and excitABLE, but they often make a lot of mistakes. Sometime, children dislike their parents decision and oppose what THEIR parents said; therefore, parents have to teach them carefully and gradually in order to help them become better. For example, when I was a child, I did not want to GO TO school because of being nervous, and I cried when my parent brought me to school. My mother was very patient with me. She spent two weeks goING to school with me EACH DAY, and she SAT near me all the LESSON, so that made me FEEL confident. After that time, I could go to school without my mother.

Finally, children need care from their parents. They are small and not healthY enough to fight back some illness, such as cold, flu, or tooth decay; as a result, parents have to always take care of them, teach them how to be healthy, check their health. In addition, parents have to provide nutriTOUS food for their children in order to help them to develop better.

In conclusion,thegood parents will have great children. For all of THE reasons that I HAVE mentioned above, I think that a good parent HAS to always consider and take care of their children, and they also become patient in order to teach their children better.

A matter of considerable social issue at present is the serious degradation in ethic of teenagers owing to the lack of parents care. Actually, parents play an important role in the growth sequence of their children. It is also claimed that children behavior depend mostly on the way their families nurture them. This essay will discuss about some positive effects that good parenting may offer.To begin with, children will treat others with respect if they are educated well. According to the scientific researches, children often follow their parents behavior. Imitating is a fundamental process during the growth of a baby; and bad habit of parent may prompt him/her to act adversely as well. As a result, the personal characteristics are shaped at the very early age. Good behavior and polite way of communicating with others stem from how a person was taught by his/her family. In brief, the more people are educated, the more respect they may show.Another important influence of good parenting is that it promotes the academic success of students. After leaving the kindergarten, children approach an entirely new environment, the primary school. They must change the habit of playing to an uncomfortable one, which is the responsibility for studying well. At this very first stage, children integrate the studying method from the elder members in their family, which really affects their results in the long future. On the other hand, good nurturing raises the childrens confidence. All of these would result in an excellent academic result.Last but not least, children would be healthier on account of parents concern. The diet of children is mostly prepared by other family members. The way parent control various nutritious elements forms the childrens habit, which can hardly be changed.
