As a parent, especially one that cares about their children, you want to provide for them and do your best at all times. Since there's so much conflicting information to choose from, you have to use your best judgment on many issues. Some of us have an inner voice that screams loud and clear as to which choice we should make. In this article, we'll be sharing some tips on how to be the best possible parent.
There are a variety of theories on parenting styles, but most experts agree that permissive parenting can make things hard on both parents and kids. Parents who fit this description tend to have kids who run rampant and mostly do as they please. While this extreme type of permissiveness isn't all that common, we've all seen examples of it in public. You might think that kids raised this way would be care free, even if others find it irritating, but this isn't usually the case. Children who are raised without limits often end up having difficulty fitting into society, as they find out that the rest of the world isn't as indulgent as their home was.
Visiting with your kids, and staying in touch, is an important part of parenting that both of you will appreciate. Kids need to learn early on that there are good and bad consequences for the choices that they make, something that you need to teach them when they are young. Children will soon learn that what they do is a privilege if you take it away, including TV time and the ability to go online. Constant enforcement of the rules that you establish is a necessity so that your kids realize you are serious. The rules that you enforce need to be done every time, and not because you feel like it or if the mood suits you. It is so important to always be consistent with the enforcement of your policies, otherwise your kids will not develop a sense of responsibility or structure in regard to the choices that they make.
A very bad mistake to make is to yell at your children as there are many other things you can do. We are all imperfect people, therefore occasionally we will slip up and yell from day to day. However, if this is something that you do all the time, it can have some unwanted consequences. If you yell too much, your kids won't even notice that you are yelling, which defeats the purpose.
You shouldn't have to feel that you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. While this isn't always possible for various reasons, ideally the two parents should be involved in child related issues, decisions and tasks. Even single parents usually have others they can reach out to, whether it's relatives, friends or even a support group. No matter how good a parent you may be, there will be times when you need advice, or a break from the daily grind. The best time to set up a support network is before you desperately need it. If you're not sure about how to handle a certain situation with your child, you should have someone you can consult. Someone else, such as another parent, may have already been through what you're going through and may be able to offer you a tip. Above all, remember that parents are human and make mistakes, so don't expect perfection from yourself. You can only be the best parent you can at any given moment. When you're a parent, it's best to balance out what books, doctors and other sources of information say with your own intuition and experience.
