Good Parent

The only way to raise a special human being is to become one….

1. Raise your children by example, example and example
2. Tell them you love them and then love them – everyday.
3. Tell them they are the most important thing/s in your life.
4. Spend quality time with them. One on one.
5. Instil self-confidence in them.
6. Teach them right from wrong.
7. Teach them to respect others.
8. Be their best friend
9. Praise them every day.
10. Show them affection. Hug them often.
11. Be a role model for non-violence.
12. Listen to them.
13. Take the boredom out of their lives by joining them in adventurous, fun activities.
14. Talk to them about drugs, gangs, sex, alcohol and peer pressure. You will get to know where they stand on these very important subjects.
15. Show and guide your kids by modelling good behaviour
16. Don’t take drugs in their company.
17. Respect them.
18. Don’t judge them harshly. They will make lots of mistakes just like you did when you were their age.
19. Don’t humiliate, insult or embarrass them in front of others
20. Take an interest in their education as it is one of the most important things that will impact greatly on their future.

Here is what sometimes happens when a parent is not a good parent.
