Parenting is a responsibility that is everlasting. It is a role requiring sacrifice, attention to detail, and unconditional love. All kids require love, understanding, and respect. As adults we sometimes forget that their feelings are as strong as ours, even though they are little people. Kids just want to know that their ideas and opinions count and that they are a valuable part of the family.
Communication is the biggest key.
If you begin with good communication and keep a consistent and open dialogue in your relationship, your children will feel secure enough to come to you in any given situation. All parents want their kids to grow to become healthy, happy adults. The responsibility of achieving that goal is great. However, with the proper ingredients we are mostly successful at achieving this goal. It will, however, take a great deal of sacrifice on the part of the parent.
