How would you become a responsible parent? Would you go to the extent of not letting your child explore the world of her or his own? Would you be too overly protective of your child? Probably providing everything to them? Different people have different ideas on becoming a resposible parent? Share it here.

I think the most important thing is to raise your child in the right direction.. you know let them know what is wrong nad what is right.. they will mess up and make mistakes but try to show them in the right direction.. No since what so ever to be OVER protective cause then when they get older and they havent been out and about in the world they are going to RUN WILD cause they never got to do anything... so let them do plenty just let them participate in good things!

i think the important thing is when u see ur son grow up and see him being a succesful ways in his own way. no need to be protective, lethim touch the real world to understand pain, love and also joy. providing everything will just get him to be spoiled boy, teach them to understand that they have to do somethingto earn something in postive way, Thank you dude, and hope u enjoy your day in mylot. succes 4 ur parenting in responsible way!
