...A very good morning to our teachers, parents, guardians and students. It gives me great pleasure to join you here today for our Open Day in this year. On this glorious morning, I, XXX the founder of Brainy Montessori , I am going to give a talk on “What Does It Take To Be A Good Parent?”. In my speech, I am going to share with you some characteristics of a good parent. According to Oxford Dictionary, parent define as a person who is a father or mother or a person who has a child. Parent also define as to be or act as a mother or father to someone. Another definition of parent is an animal or plant that produces a young animal or plant and also define as something out of which another thing has developed. Good in other hand define in Oxford Dictionary as having the required qualities, of a high standard, possessing or displaying moral virtue, and also that which is morally right. Therefore for me, good parent is someone refer to father or mother who loves their children unconditionally, communicates openly with their children, is involved in their children lives as much as they can be, someone who is there for them when they need someone, some one who teaches good morals and values, someone who shows them right from wrong, strict but not too strict. Parenting is a lifelong journey. As parents, we have an important responsibility. Every parent wants to be a good parent and role model for our children. But to be a good parent is not easy. It is a journey of trial and error...

...it”. - “By himself?”. - “Yes”. ʘ Aletheia left the room with that conversation on her mind. She was not convinced. She thought about this for a few days. In order to digest her thoughts she went for a walk through the island. Alone she thought. Aloud she though and she began to share her thoughts with whatever crossed her way: leaves, trees, stones, ants, crickets, etc. Had God created the world by himself? ʘ After long discussions with stones, trees, the river and frogs of the island, Aletheia went back to her grandma saying: “It is a lie. God did not make the world”. The old lady was surprised: “And why do you think so, Aletheia?”. - “Because God does not exist”, answered the girl. - “No?". - “No”. - “May I ask you how you figured that out?”. - “I looked all...

...Anna Quindlen said,“Children should have enough freedom to be themselves - once they've learned the rules.” Children should be free to be who they are but once you bend those rules you have to know how to make them follow your rules. In this essay, I will talk about the tip on how to be a good parent, and what not to do as a parent. Being a good parent has a lot of rules and tips,/ if you let your kid disobey the rules and walk all over you what does that make you in your place.

...A child’s education has never been about learning information and basic skills only. It has always included teaching the next generation how to be good members of society. Therefore, this cannot be the responsibility of the parents alone. In order to be a good member of any society the individual must respect and obey the rules of their community and share their values. Educating children to understand the need to obey rules and respect others always begins in the home and is widely thought to be the responsibility of parents. They will certainly be the first to help children learn what is important in life, how they are expected to behave and what role they will play in their world. However, learning to understand and share the value system of a whole society cannot be achieved just in the home. Once a child goes to school, they are entering a wider community where teachers and peers will have just as much influence as their parents do at home. At school, children will experience working and living with people from a whole-variety of backgrounds from the wider society. This experience should teach them how to co-operate with each other and how to contribute to the life of their community. But to be a valuable member of any community is not like learning a simple skill, it is something that an individual goes on learning throughout life and it is the responsibility of every member of a society to take responsibility for helping the younger generation to become active...

...Alexis M. Welker Eng 111 June 24, 2013 A Good Parent Parents have many characteristics, when they are being defined. Being a good parent overrules them all. A child’s behavior is determined by their home training. Some parents fail to take responsibility for their child and their actions, unlike good parents. Good parents bond with their children, to let the child know they care and are there for them at any time. Good parents show affection and love their child unconditionally. A good parent is a role model. A good parent is emotionally, physically, and mentally there for their child. The parent takes time to be with the child, does not rush them, takes responsibility, and understands the child. A good parent does not spoil their child. A spoiled child becomes disrespectful, bitter, and hard to tame. The parent establishes ground rules, so the child can take ownership of their actions. Children tend to get into a mode as they become teenagers. A good parent listens to their child. A parent can have different point of views rather than looking at the child perspective of things. The parent shows affection and concern while they listen. The child absorbs good characteristics from their parents. Good parents are role models for their children. The child learns what to say, how to say it, what to do, and how to do it from their parents. The child learns how to respect others, be responsible, and be a hard-worker. When a parent spends a lot of time with their child, they become...

...and Brief Description How has the concept of “good” parenting changed from 1950-2008? A good parent wants what is best for his or her child no matter what. In the early years, parents taught their children the basics: how to do things, discipline, communication, right from wrong, etc. Through the years these basics are still being taught. One change is that parents are dealing with more epidemics in their children these days. Parents have to learn how to handle and work with the children with special needs. Another change is that back then you saw more mothers doing the parenting but in some cases these days the father steps in and plays the role of the mother. A main concept that has been altered is discipline. In today’s society, some people see spanking as a sign of abuse and think that talking to them and explaining what they did wrong is a better technique. However, this is true at times but if it was the 1950’s, taking a child out back and giving them a good spanking was just what they needed. That is how the concepts of good parenting have changed over the years. Annotated Bibliography Sources One Book Source: Evans, J, & Llfeld, E. (1982). Parenting in the early years: good beginnings. Ypsilanti, MI: High/Scope Educational Research Foundation.

Some would say love, attention, money, wealth, food. Some would say spending quality time with them while others would say discipline. But what is it actually? Which and how these factors would make parents, good? The truth is, it is hard to say because a parent is not intrinsically bad or good; they are just a parent who makes good or bad choices. Parenting actually is an ongoing process that has some trial and error, and requires you to accept and learn from your limitations. It is exactly like baking a cake. You put everything that you thought would make your cake tasty, but in the end, it is hardly...

...Building Good Credit Today, parents are unsure on when and how they can guide their teens to start building up their credit. First, they need to encourage their teens to get a job. Second, parents need to talk to their teens about saving techniques and opening up their own bank accounts. Third, teens should apply for a credit card for themselves; if not possible then become an authorized user on their parents’ credit cards. Fourth, teens need to be aware that the more inquires they make for credit cards; the more that it can hurt their credit. Fifth, teens need to understand that they need to pay their bills on time or suffer the consequences. Finally, teens need to use their credit card wisely and responsible in order to build their credit. It is wise for parents to encourage their teens to withhold a job. When teens are working for their own money they tend to be more cautious towards spending it. Without their own income, they will expect their parents to continue paying for everything” (Todorova). Law requires credit card issuers to check income for applicants under age 21.” Credit card issuers do such things to assure themselves that the teen will be able to repay their credit card balances. The next step in guiding teens to build up their credit is for parents to have a mature talk about money saving techniques and opening up their own bank account. “Establishing a good banking history can help your child build a strong financial foundation, which is a stepping stone...

...Parents Should Have the Right to Spank Their Kids It is unfortunate how western citizens seems to view parents who spank their children like they are abusive monsters that should be put to prison. Due to this, many parents seem to be more cautious when disciplining their children, even in public because of the backlash and arrest involved with this action. Parents who oppose the idea of spanking seem to assume that they have to be gentle and polite with their child to show that they love them dearly, even for their bad behavior over showing who the adult in the household is. Spanking should be done in a fair amount of force with injuring the child in a serious manner. This will not ruin their self-esteem, and it will not cause mental illness...

Everyone want to do what is best for their children, but the description about how to do so, is extremely different from parent to parent.
