What are some characteristics of a good parent?
Thanks for helping!
Answer:
Good luck! I loved my research course.
A good parent is authoritative (as opposed to authoritarian) - they set guidelines for their children, yet allow enough latitude for the children to discover things on their own.
Consistency - the child absolutely knows what his/her boundaries are.
Communication - a good parent explains things to his children instead of simply saying "because I said so."
Openness - a good parent is open to allowing his children to have new experiences to expand their worlds
Unconditional love - a good parent can communicate to his children that he loves them no matter what. When the child disobeys or fails, the child needs to know that it is the action that the parent is displeased with, and not the child himself.
I hope this isn't too esoteric.
understanding, supportive, willing to spend time everyday with the child,
Patience, reasonability, sense of humour, sense of fun, enough time for child...
