Yes. It is vital for parents to guide and encourage their children to become independent individuals. To do so, Parents need to be actively involved in their children’s upbringing.
Active Parenting is not a burden; it's a reward. What we do for our children is never wasted. Although our children may follow their own passions and interests, their success and well- being, can never out of parental control.
Parents can help their children gain independence, by giving them a good amount of safe exposure and guiding them in the right direction. At the same time, it is important to allow children to follow their own beliefs and dreams, make their own decisions and solve their own problems.
What better way for parents than to give children roots to cling to and wings of independence to set them free?

Parents need to encourage their children to share every thoughts and view and also any incident that happened in school. This would help parents guide their children much better.

@aninditasen So true! Parents would be wise to spend time and talk to their kids as much as possible, especially in their early years. Being closely involved in their lives is a good start and lays foundation for closer ties in the future.

I agree with you. I believe the first 18 years of a child's life they need to be supported , encouraged, nurtured and molded with the tools that they'll need later in life. FOUNDATION is all important. That's the essence of good parenting.
