Parents are always looking out for their child’s needs, physical safety, emotional well being and mental development in order to prepare them for the life ahead. The way we raise our kids defines how they are going to be in the future. So it is important to have a positive social, emotional and physical balance in thier lives so that we can help flourish these same traits in them. There are no set definitions for “Good” or “Bad” Parenting, as it all depends on your own and your child’s situation. What might be inappropriate in one context and culture might be fully acceptable in another. But there are some general rules and guidelines which are followed world over as good parenting practices towards raising great kids. Some of these are giving dedicated time to your kids, showing affection to them, sharing moments with them, listening to them and understanding their needs. Good parenting does not mean being a perfectionist but creating an environment for the child that inculcates good moral and social values in them. When children grow up, they look up to their parents as their role models and parents need to earn this respect by proving their worth when kids are growing up.
