‘You have to be strict to be a good parent’ Do you agree with that? Parents have the challenging task of raising their children in a society that has changed since then. For that reason, most of them believe that being strict parents is necessary these days. In my opinion, the best way to be a good parent is knowing how to teach with love. Firstly, sometimes parents must set rules so that kids learn to follow them and show respect for parent’s authority. However, parents have to try not to irritate children by giving them many rules. Secondly, teaching children to learn from their own mistakes is a value lesson. They could see how important is having a balance view about their mistakes and doing better things the next time. Finally, parents need to have a good communication with their children, especially when they are teens, to understand what they are feeling and thinking. In that way, they are strengthening their relationship between them. To sum up, it is not necessary to be so rude to educate children. The key is to teach by example and love. In that way, kids will notice the great effort that parents doing for them.
