In this life, becoming a parent is the dream of many. These dreams can soon become challenges, however, as the brutal reality of raising another human being sets in. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs anyone will take one, and it’s one of the least rewarding too. Still, you have to strive to raise happy children that go into the world as well-adjusted adults. How can you manage that? By digging deep and finding the line between firmness and friendship.
There’s no one right or wrong way to parent. A lot of it comes down to the child that you find yourself with. Some children are more sensitive and perceptive than others. The other side of that, though, is finding a path to raising someone who is secure in themselves and secure in your love for them. We can accomplish this with honesty, compassion, and a firmness that reconfirms our care for the future of our children. Want to raise the perfect child? That will never happen, but you can find better ways to parent them.
