What does it really mean to be a good parent?



When somebody talks about being a "good" parent, what springs to mind? The answer to that question is going to vary greatly depending on who you ask. Is it your ability to provide for your children and support them financially? Does it mean that you're always there to listen to their problems? The answer isn't always clear?

Simplistically Living has just published a wonderful article that deals with some of these tricky questions. It's full of useful advice and tips, such as using your own childhood experiences, being a good role model, and how to initiate difficult conversations with your child.

"The truth is, when it comes to parenting, one size certainly does not fit all.There is no book, podcast or amount of information available that will make you that perfect parent but do you know what does? You.

You are in control of how you parent. You are the only one that can deem yourself a “good parent” because after all, you are the parent. You are living and raising your child day by day. Nobody else can determine your outcome as a parent besides you."
