Raising children is the most important job in any society, because “Kids are Our Future”, and parents influence their children’s development most.
Many parents are looking for the answer of “how to be a good parent?”, since every family is unique, there is no one-size-fit-all answer. However we do know that raising children is a hard work and most of parents want to try our best. Parenting is one of the well-researched areas in the entire field of social science. It has been studied for decades by researchers involving hundreds of thousands of families. How to define “A Successful Child”? What are the good parenting principles? What are some parenting styles? What are the characteristics of a good parent? What kind of lessons we have learned although some parents desired to be good parents and actually tried hard, at last just got bad results? How to be a good parent to meet a child’s needs at different developmental stage?
In the next several posts, we want to discuss these questions and try to find some of the answers.

I think it all depends on who you are as a person on how you will be as a parent, i try and be the best parent i can i have to split my time 4 different ways and then try and find time fro me, my youngest was born with esophageal atresia and down syndrome so it gets hard sometimes, i think strive to learn about your kids and help them develope to be the very best person he or she can be.
