giving them freedom but not too much freedom

swiftorchid-87

let them do what they want and support them but still any parent should criticise their childrens actions if they are in wrong

Keeping them disciplined at a very young age (includes fixed sleeping hours, bedtime, minimal screen, etc..) being open with them, taking care of their diet, getting them into sports or any physical activity, providing a safe environment for them to share their feelings and thoughts, helping them understand their passions and what they want to do in life and supporting them at a very young age.

Overall ensuring that they have a healthy lifestyle, they’re happy while not expecting anything in return from them in the future.

yes!!!0

wildmartin-15

If the kid does not come and say us his/her concern and what troubles him/her. We should know that we have failed as a parent because the kid cannot even trust you to tell the story.- start of a terrible trauma!!

pearlguitar-88

And another advice i could give is be a friend not a parent

I would let them explore the world and let them be free to be allowed to do what makes them happy and i would not argue infront of them

wildmartin-15

You would definitely miss out on your kid's growth because you'd be sleeping the entire time lol

wildmartin-15

You want them to be free so you can take time off!! I know you!!

@wildmartin-15 You want them to be free so you can take time off!! I know you!!
sunnyhunter-71

I think they worded it the wrong way, i get where they’re coming from

quickxenon-97

Raise them in a way which makes them comfortable enough to tell me bout their problems or if something bad happens, I don't want them to be scared to tell me if something went wrong. Instead of beating the kids I'll make them sit down and explain what they did wrong and why is it wrong, also that actions have consequences. Teach them how to take care of themselves ( cooking, cleaning and other basic things) irrespective of gender.

@wildmartin-15 You want them to be free so you can take time off!! I know you!!
snowyorange-96

You dont know me

snowyorange-96

I would not miss out on it

@snowyorange-96 You dont know me
wildmartin-15

Oooo, okay!!
Was a joke miss.

wildmartin-15

:tomsip:

@sunnyhunter-71 I think they worded it the wrong way, i get where they’re coming from
wildmartin-15

Nice.

jadetiger-51

Definitely not like my current self.

quickbadger-36

I don't think it's easy as a lot of people make it out to seem like. Kids do have a mind of their own. You could try your best to be a good parent. But if you try too much, you might be doing just the same thing as your parents.

quickbadger-36

I would try my best but not gonna lie, I would suck at it

@quickbadger-36 I would try my best but not gonna lie, I would suck at it
wildmartin-15

I think that's a good call my man!!

@wildmartin-15 I think that's a good call my man!!
quickbadger-36

Yope. I would give them some bit of hell too:armscrossed:

quickbadger-36

Life isn't just going to go easy on them

quickbadger-36

This is reality

@quickbadger-36 Yope. I would give them some bit of hell too
wildmartin-15

Yup, true that is required!!

@wildmartin-15 Yup, true that is required!!
quickbadger-36

Yeah. It's okay to be friendly with your kids but don't be friends with them

quickbadger-36

Lol, that shit doesn't work out in the way people think it's

quickbadger-36

A friend Nd a parent are too different things

@quickbadger-36 Lol, that shit doesn't work out in the way people think it's
wildmartin-15

Ya I too think, they should look upto you with respect!!, authority!!
Don't treat parents like their other joker friends!!

@wildmartin-15 Ya I too think, they should look upto you with respect!!, authority!! Don't treat parents like thei…
quickbadger-36

Well, when you start being a friend. That line gets blurred

quickbadger-36

It only shows up one day when the kid start treating you on the same grounds as a friend

@quickbadger-36 Well, when you start being a friend. That line gets blurred
wildmartin-15

Yeah children start to talk back lol!! I don't like that

@quickbadger-36 It only shows up one day when the kid start treating you on the same grounds as a friend
wildmartin-15

Exactly 💯

@wildmartin-15 Yeah children start to talk back lol!! I don't like that
quickbadger-36

:r_kermitcorner: that's the least of the issues

quickbadger-36

And we maybe like oh my kid will tell me everything because I'm free with them

quickbadger-36

I'm free with my mum but I ain't letting her know everything

quickbadger-36

:frogsip:

quickbadger-36

Such is life

quickbadger-36

And what you may think it's okay and good for your kid. You are hundred percent sure of that, but the kid thinks other wise and would call that as you been wicked lol

quickbadger-36

Kids are funny though

@quickbadger-36 I'm free with my mum but I ain't letting her know everything
wildmartin-15

Truly haha!!
With everyone we love them but we can only say certain things to certain people lol!!

@wildmartin-15 Truly haha!! With everyone we love them but we can only say certain things to certain people lol!!
quickbadger-36

For real

quickbadger-36

An example is if your dad says you should read. You would think that's him just forcing too much on yah till it's result time

quickbadger-36

You don't want them to be told how to do it or what to do

quickbadger-36

I think they should be told

quickbadger-36

:pepetea:

quickbadger-36

Well, I guess you would wait until they make a big mistake that one cannot learn from

quickbadger-36

I'm getting your point

wildmartin-15

Well they will not know naturally, and if they associate with bad people they are gone lol!!
I think they should be taught to think, analyze and understand situations and facts- they can build a strong moral code that decides what is right or wrong then!!

quickbadger-36

You think telling them limits their own creativity Nd reasoning

quickbadger-36

There is time for them to be able to do things on their own

quickbadger-36

Right

quickbadger-36

All kids do

quickbadger-36

Well, that's up to your future kid

quickbadger-36

We all gonna be different kinds of parents

quickbadger-36

:frogsip:

wildmartin-15

Well that depends on different circumstance you faced, your influence,how you reacted, etc

quickbadger-36

I tell me kid. Go do that Nd this is how to do.

quickbadger-36

Then watch him do

quickbadger-36

Or he watch me do it

quickbadger-36

You can't just expect them to gain knowledge out of nothingness

wildmartin-15

Okay guys here me out!!
If kid asks you why is the grass green or why is the sky blue what do you answer??

@wildmartin-15 Okay guys here me out!! If kid asks you why is the grass green or why is the sky blue what do you a…
quickbadger-36

Science

quickbadger-36

The sky is blue due to light reflection

quickbadger-36

Grass is green due to chlorophyll

quickbadger-36

plaidgarden-21

Discipline your child when needed, teach them important habits and goals and overall things that life won't tell them

quickranger-40
