To be a good parent, one must spend quality time with their children, set clear family rules, and treat their child with respect. Quality time includes spending time with each child individually and attending their school functions. Family rules help children get along and make family life more peaceful when created with child input. Parents should also be good role models by communicating openly, mentoring their child, and encouraging healthy lifestyles like exercise and nutrition. The overall goals are to increase love, protect children, allow them to be themselves, and encourage independence.
