how do you define a good parents!

I believe a good parent is someone who is always there for their children . Someone who takes the time and stays involved in what is going on in their child's life . Someone who can discipline when needed but is there to hold their child when things are bad . Someone who loves their child unconditionally and always . Someone the child can rely on in good times as well as bad and someone who will always be around to do for their child no matter how old they get . A good parent will do without so that the child can have more . A child needs to feel secure and safe and needs to understand that although you love your child that they still have to follow the rules and respects their elders as well as their peers . No parent is ever going to be perfect but they can always do the best of their ability even when they are not feeling well . You never get a day off with your child as you have to be there always and need to be able to respect your child and to trust their judgement and that you did a good job when they get older and you need to be able to allow them to grow to be the person that they are meant to be . It may sound like a lot of hard work but there is no greater joy then the one of being a parent .
