WHAT CAN PARENTS DO TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN?

As a parent in todays society,parenting skills are a must.This is in order to raise a child with a healthy,loving & nurturing mindset.Parents need to teach their children the value of life,self love,self respect & self pride.Give their children spiritual morals,protect them from negative influences.Such as monitoring what music they listen too,what they watch on TV or video and what they do on the internet.What kind of friends they have.Parents can lead by example,if a parent tells their children not to use drugs,then the parent shouldn't use drugs, especially not in front of their children.Teach the importance of education,how to be a leader not a follower.Parents should let their children know that they can talk to their parents about anything no matter what it may be.Parents should spend quality time with their children in order to build a strong relationship.Never give a child responsibilities meant for an adult,such as raising siblings,this can cause rebellion and other issues.Patience is needed with all children, in order for a child to learn what is taught them.Children today need to know that they can count on their parents to be there for them..............NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE!
