How to understand if you are a good parent: 10 main signs named
It can take years to become a good parent. For some, it comes naturally and they have a clear vision of their goals and objectives.
It is believed that parents should bring out the best in their children, and much is said about the importance of personal example in matters of raising children.
You can understand how good a parent you are by answering 10 questions, according to experts at Lady Mail.
10 Signs of Good Parents
1. Parents' love for their child is unconditional and begins at birth. It is shown not only in words, but in actions, voice, touches, and hugs.
2. A valuable quality that many lack is patience. But if you know how to listen to a child and answer all the annoying questions, you will have plenty of it.
3. It is important to be honest with your child, yourself and others. Insincerity is felt very well, no matter how hard you try.
4. Overprotection, obsession, attempts to protect from troubles - all these are not the best parental qualities. Children in such families grow up insecure.
5. Parents themselves should be goal-oriented and self-confident people. This is about personal example.
6. It is no less important to be a diplomat in matters of upbringing. This quality is especially valuable during adolescence.
7. Strictness is also a quality of good parents, but along with it there must also be gentleness, otherwise upbringing in the family will differ little from the transition to barracks conditions.
8. The attitude towards the child should be careful, respectful, in a word – tactful. Otherwise, it will not be possible to raise a sensitive and sociable person.
9. Also, good parents are neat people.
10. And the last quality on the list is consistency in the demands and promises made.
You shouldn't make demands that are impossible for the child to fulfill. You also shouldn't promise something that you can't do yourself.
