What makes you a good parent?

I've got a 4 yr old and it's when she tells me I'm the best mum in the world.


Just curious as to what the thoughts of others are.What makes you a good parent?
I have a teenager so I swing between thinking I'm a fairly good mum to thinking I must be the worst mum in the world. I think this is normal though for the mum of a teenager, at least I hope so. Joking aside though, it's when other people make comments about how lovely she is. Polite, friendly, that kind of thing, then I think I must of done something right. Well, I'm taking the credit anyway, reward for the years of tears and door slamming. And sorry Dad, I must have been hell for you although I'm sure you're up in Heaven laughing your socks off now.What makes you a good parent?
i have got a seven yr old she tells me this all the time too.


what makes you the best mum





Is when you sit and listen to there little problems at childcare and general life there minds are always thinking , here is an exp This girl won't talk to me mammy or she said this to me mammy and i am sad !





so then you advise them and give them a kiss and a hug tell them you will always be there best friend and you love them no matter what and thats why you can tell me everything





also we cook for them there favourite things and pack a special lunch





its really because we put them first all the time and give them such good attention my daughter is no 1 for me and always will be
I'd suggest that what makes good parent(s) is spending all the time you can reasonably give, to listen, to share, to have fun with. But most of all to be there when they need you, to love, to comfort, to share their problems, and particularly to show them the correct way to live and behave in society. I'm not saying I am completely right but it's a reasonably good model to base being a good parent on.
Well some tell me that i am a good mum ..but i think as a mum sometimes its hard to see yourself as this, cause you try your best and do what you think is right and sometimes we don't always get that right ...some will know what i mean ...for me is to raise my kids as best as i can ..do whats right in the future for my twin son who has severe autism and is also non verbal, get Kylie the best education and hope she gets a job she will enjoy doing as i enjoy being a mum x
to be there for your kids no matter what,


to pick them up when they fall


to love them unconditionally


to support them in all areas of life


to praise when needed and scold when needed.





best of all to hug them and listen and LOVE....xxxxx
I think its when I wake up and see my little girl waking up and then she gives me the biggest grin. It makes me feel like she is saying thank you for loving her and caring for her. She is 3 months 3 weeks.
lead by example and lots of love and encouragement





..... not giveing inall the time and bying every thing they wont and being spoiled that makes a brat
as long as you love your kids more than anything in the world and your doing the best you can, your and excellent parent
The fact I love my kids and I would do anything I could to help them. They feel the same way about me to. So I know I'm doing a good job.
Being a good listener.





Being a good example.





Keeping your sense of humor!
I am the perfect parent, simply because I have no children. There is no other way I would be .. sure of that.
