What is your idea of ''good parenting''? (Page 2)

As a kid Peer pressure is a mutherfucker, how do you help people from that? I learned to smoke cigarettes, weed, meth, and now I just stay to myself and had to do it for myself independently. I stopped everything except smoking cigarettes. . I have a rather addictive personality.

If kids are in the picture in my life. I want them to have the best life. I will be firm and structured. And hopefully I can share my experiences and they learn there is bad shit all over. And to learn and grow from mistakes. I will not tolerate disobedience not be any means.. And teach them accordingly when it happens as lessons to be taught . Preferably in the womb and once they pop out. Just maybe they listen. Lol damn sucks being the oldest child. Had to learn the hard way. Tough love. Both my parents were strict..so I want to do every right of course..

The perfect way to raise kids-

Meet the Spartans ftw. Ah it must've been awesome to be a Spartan in those days.

Having boundaries with my child, but still allowing them to emotionally and psychologically become their own person. Being an aries, I need freedom. Every sign, and every individual needs something in order to become who they are later on in life. It's important to allow self expression (in a very healthy and controlled way).

Guidance.

The way that gets expressed depends on the parents' style and what resonates with the child.

+1 good one.

unconditional love.
no matter the errors.

balancing discipline;
knowing when to be
lenient and when to
be strict.

knowing when to guide
and when to let go so
they can be their own
persons.

teaching and knowing
when to have fun and
let them be children.

making them armor
ready for the world,
being there for them
when they fall as well
as making them strong
so they can battle again.

learning them respect and
compassion for others so
they can grow up selfless.

true, education is very important, whether it be academically, socially etc
