About Me
- TGriffin
- I have been a language teacher (ESL/ELL, French) for 30 years. I have taught in public and private schools, immersion programs, refugee programs, adult/continuing education, elementary, middle, and high school as well as university. Currently I teach ELL at a high school somewhere in New England.
Understanding makes a good parent. As the children grow older, parents should change the way they are with their children, but the only thing that shouldn't change is--understanding. It is impossible to love and to be wise, parents also make mistakes, there are no perfect parents, but if parents could consider things from their child's perspective, they would know how they should be involved in their child's life. A parent plays many parts in a child's life; a parent can be a friend, a teacher, even a good cook. However, in my opinion, a good parent won't change a you life, they will inspire the child to do something on your own that might makes your life completely different, and they would always be the people who guide your life.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky to have great parents who are always with me. My parents understand me, take care for me and lead me to my path of dream. They never compel me to do what I can not do or I was not willing to do. It does not means that they would let me do anything I like. They let me do anything that I believe is right thing. My mother is a wonderful woman, she shows me what is right, what is wrong. My father is a great friend and teacher. I learn from him more than I learn from school. He usually motivates me and talks to me. I don't need anything else because I have already had my dream parents.
ReplyDeleteI think good parents are parents who have an understanding of their children. They need to be empathized with their children. Especially since the world right now is a lot different than the world when our parents were at our age. From what I have seen, a lot of parents do everything they could to ensure that their children will be successful. However, in the progress they sometimes ignore their children's feeling. Parents try their best to be a good teacher, a good disciplinarian and forget that they could be a friend for their children too. They can be the friends that every children need. The friends whom their children can reveal even their deepest secret to.
ReplyDeleteBeing a good parent they create it by their own by not showing bad things , show them what is good and what is bad, when they think it's enough, when they understand their child, when they make him happy and at the same time not make him selfish. They should always respect their decision , like what career they want, but they should have education until high school without the child decision. they should ask and respect what they want for their future. They should respect their sexual preferences. They always want the best for you even if you don't like it. My mom is definitely the best mother and best friend I ever had, she understands me and my dad the the best father in the world he always do the best for me and we are like siblings we tell each other everything but when I do something bad he gets mad at me. They should respect with who you want to be with, your friends, but if they think they are not a good influence they would do the best for you.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, being a good parent is the most respectable job on the world. Being a parent is easy, but being a good parent is hard, because a good parent means a bonus of a friend, a teacher, and a leader of life. All the parents love their children. But only those good ones will both give their children enough love and push them away when it's needed. A good parent will do the same as they ask their children to do. And see their children as a independent human being. They don't laugh at their children when they failed and give their children appropriate praise when they do things well. Good parents not only bring their children a bright future. They also give the world a gift.

How to be a good parent
In contemporary society, an increasing number of people attach importance to education, which has been in the spotlight and captured public concern. When it comes to what competent parents ought to be and do, standpoints vary from person to person. In my opinion, it's a good parent's responsibility to spend as much free time as possible accompanying children.
In the first place, It's necessary for parents to accompany their children so that they can be involved in their children's education. As an old saying goes, "parents are the best teachers of children." As the first teachers of children during their lives, parents have responsibilities to talk with their children whenever necessary, pay attention to moral education and play various roles, such as disciplinarians. bosses and guiders, etc. during their children's growing processes. Only in this way can parents truly understand their children, be convective enough to educate their children and help their children differentiate what is right and what is wrong. Numerous cogent cases can be given, but my personal experience is most convincing. My mother is an engineer. She has a great amount of work to do every day. However, she always spend at least one hour talking with me about my school life and good manners of dealing with people after dinner every day. Sometimes despite of tiredness, my mother still insists on having dinner with me and focusing on the moral education. It is my mother who accompanies me and guides me to be an honest and helpful person. Thus, spending enough time accompanying children is conducive to good education.
In the second place, spending a large amount of time accompanying children contributes to satisfying children's affective demands. Most children are not mature enough to work out all of their emotional problems by themselves. They need affective interaction with their parents in time when they feel confused. Hence, competent parents ought to accompany their children by focusing on their children's mental health and being confidants of their children. A survey can back up my view. The survey, conducted by China Daily, has found that a significant percentage of children usually feel lonely or confused. 70% of them said that their parents don't spend much time accompanying them because their parents are too busy in working to talk with them. Additionally, 20% of the children who feel lonely or confused complained that their parents have to go to big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, etc. in order to seek a livelihood due to more work availability and higher wages in metropolis than in countrysides. These children are called "left-behind children". Thus, accompanying children plays a significant role in satisfying children's affective demands and ensuring their mental health.
To sum up, there are numerous benefits of accompanying children. Consequently, it's quite necessary for good parents to spend as much free time as possible being involved in their children's lives. Only in this way can their children head for a bright future.

ReplyDeleteMost children always standing behind their parents when they grow up. That means children's behavior almost come from their parents. We changed selfies every day because we need to incessant learn something new. For example We can learn how to solute questions which come from ours life, and we can learn how to talk with people. So, the question is what can makes a good mother or father? I think as a mother or a father they need to look out for their behaviors and their children's behaviors because children's behavior always come from them. Having a good behavior is a really important condition to be a good mother or father! But I don't think it is enough for children's life. They also need to spend a lot of time to care their child for example they should know what does their children like to do, what habits does their child have or how does their child feeling for every single day. Sometimes, they also need to make a communication with their children because it can makes you know more informations about them. Then try to find a best way to educate their child.
ReplyDeleteI have seen a opinion before, parents should never be your children 's friends. Actually , I really agree this opinion . If parents become their children 's friends,it means they might cheat you as they cheat to their friends. As we all know, when we play with our friends, some behavior can be directly and may not be polite. But if we really cheat parents as friends, those behavior are rude to them . As a child , you should respect to your parents. As a parent , you should teach them be polite to your family members. So parents should never be children 's friends. I also think a good parent should not interfere child's career or education. You can give them advice,but you can't make decision instead of them. If you did it, one day you children will grumble you " why you make decisions for me , I can did it !" If you always stand in front of your children, you children won't grow up . I like the way my father did . He always told me , parents are two of people you really can trust in this world. They can protect you when you are a kid. After you grow up , you should try your best to have a new life by yourself.
ReplyDeleteA good parent is the most important thing for a person. My parents are my teacher, my friends and everything. My mum is very kind, she takes care of me. She doesn't work but she has a job. Her job is be my mother, a good parents should spend a lot of time with children. Don't make children feel alone. My father is very busy but he likes to talk with. He is very strict but I really love him. I think good parents should talks with children. I like to talk with my parents. They can know about me from talking. They can help me with many things in life. Good parents always have happy life. I love my parents.
ReplyDeleteA good mom is responsible for her children, helpful to her children, and can cook delicious food. In most families, children are very annoying when they are young. Teaching them how to do the right things is what a good mother has to do, because parents are a child's first teacher. Mothers affect children from teaching, and being with them, but a father affects children by his behaviors. A father is always child's hero in their minds, because dads go out and work hard to raise a whole family. Children will start to work hard and follow their father. Moms need to correct bad habits. Good cooking skills will make children eat much better and healthier. Children never listen if a mother doesn't tell them the reason why they can't do something and just yells at them, scolds them, or maltreats them. Do not be mean towards your children if you want them to have a happy, healthy, and productive life.
ReplyDeleteParents are really important to their kids. Kids will get personalities, thinking depends on their parents. I think my parents are so good parents. They always try to trust me and believe me. Also they are supporting me a lot. That's why I am here to get better educations. These both are most important thing for kids. If they are not trust their kids, the kids will make parents getting disappointed. Also If they are not supporting them, they can not do well. They need encourage to begin something or get a success in something.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, a good mother should has three kinds of different of sense of responsibility. The first sense of responsibility for the job. The good mother should takes her job seriously. Mother is her kids' first teacher, it will influence kids study attitude and job attitude. The second sense of responsibility for her kids. I think the good mother ought to talk with her kids very day and gives her kids a feeling of trust, like a best friend. The third sense of responsibly for the life. The good mother has optimistic attitude towards life. It will have a huge impact to children's character.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it’s important that parents are good examples for children，which includes to be examples in academy，social，individuals living skill，morality and other things. My parents mostly like teachers and friend because they are really influential in everything for children. The reason why I think parents are influential in children education and jobs is my family affects me a lot. All my family members are teachers, my mom was a Chinese teacher and she is a double bachelor's degree holder, my mom's mom was an English teacher and my mom's dad was a music teacher ，my dad is a professor and he got master's degree in university only for three years，my dad's mom was a Math teacher，my dad's dad had been a professor in university before he became the chairman of local association for science and technology. Therefore，I told myself I have to do a good job in my study . I realized that I really like math because I was staying with my dad's parents for longer time and I DON'T like a job called TEACHER！So I think it's important that parents teach their children by showing them good examples. Besides，I think it’s not good to let parents require or force children to do anything specially the things about children's social life, because that’s no more like a teacher or guider ,that’s a ruler.

ReplyDeleteParents are first teacher for evey kids. And good paretns are important. They can infulence kids, like characters, habits and qualities. I think a good parents should always talk to their kids. Because it is good way to understand and close to kids. Aslo, parents should turst their kids. I think if parents want to get turst from their kids, they should turst their kids first. Many parents want to help everthing for their kids. But I dont think it could help their kids. Good parents should teach their how to slove problems, and let their kids do it by own.
ReplyDeleteI think every children will be more like their parents as they grow. For me, I really want my father can play the basketball or video game with me when I was a little. But he is really busy. I even just can see him once a week. When I grow up, I know my father earns a lot money because he wants me can have better education or life and he has a great contribution for our country. I can understand my father. So I think my father is great. My mom is a teacher. She teaches me a lot. She behaves me. Maybe I had a lot request and expectation when I was a little. But now, the best parents in my heart is my parents.
ReplyDeleteForme good parents should let their children to realize their dreams . Hopefully I have good parents who trying to help me for my life . Every education I received they from my parents . I am spoiled boy because I am only child but I can say thank you to my parents for all they have done for me .
ReplyDeleteFor the kids, parents are the first teacher of their life, a good person depends on how good their parents are. As a kid, we need a good mother or father to teach us how to do things, we can’t recognize what’s bad or good. For myself, my mother is actually a sister for me, because of that, i always share myself to her, no matter what. I can always find love from my mum, every time when i fell loss, i’ll tell her and discuss with her, she can always bring me back. For me, it’s very important to be the good parents, because they are the only person that we can trust and they’ll never hurt us.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion , a good parent is the first teacher,the first friend and the first leader of the life to a child. I know every parent loves their children, but if you want to be a good parent, I would say it is hard. Because a good parent is you must be who your children need. Sometimes your children need friends,you must be their friend. Sometimes your children need a teacher, you should teach them. My father is my leader of life and my first teacher. He teaches me a lot. My mom is just my mom, she just does what a mom should do. They are not my friend, but I still love them.
ReplyDeleteI believe that parents should let the kids do what they want to do.And they should also know what their kids are thinking about.
ReplyDeleteFor instance,when I was a kid,my parents bought me a lot of gaming devices,such as PS2,Gameboy and PSP.I played them about 3-5hours a day during the weekend.And my parents didn’t say anything,but just let me play.You might think my parents are crazy.Actually,when I hurt my eyes badly by playing games.I realized that it was not good for me to play game for so long time.So I learned the way to control myself.Because I knew I can only play no more than 3 hours a day if I don’t want to hurt my body.Thus I had gained a great self-control ability.If my parents didn’t allow me to play game,I will be a crazy gamer right,and don’t even have a chance to be a good student.
Although I am not a father I can say that in order to be a a good father or mother you must be loving, patient, supportive and helpful. Sometimes it is hard, but being a parent is one of the most difficult and rewarding labours.
ReplyDeleteIn my view a parent must be involved in his child's education. The participation of them in their child's education is very important. When parents participate in the instruction of their child generally he or she will obtain better results at high school, they will have a better behavior and a positive idea about school, college....
The social life of a person is something that needs to be private, in my opinion not even a parent should meddling in the social life of their child. If my parents intruded in my social life I wouldn't like it, if they ask me about my friends or my social life in general I will respond with a candid answer nevertheless if I see them looking at my cell phone or trying to hear me when I make a call that will make me mad.
In conclusion I would like to say that a parent is mostly a leader that we can use as a role model. I don't know what other people think about their parents but I admire my father and my mother I would like to be as successful as they are. It is hard to be a good parent and now that I am away from home I appreciate more what they have done for me.

ReplyDeleteGood parents don't ask about their children's grades at school,and they let their children to do what they want to do.Haha,just kidding.(^-^)
ReplyDeleteMy parents grow up in small villages,and they didn't get a good education when they were young.My dad left school when his father died.He was only 16 years old at that time,but he thought he need to assume the responsibility to feed his family.My mom had lots of sisters and two young brothers when she was young,my grandfather asked her to leave school and help with the housework and farming at home when she was 11 years old,because my grandfather thought she was a girl and she didn't need to study a lot.My mom told me it was so disappointing,the night my grandfather told her not to go to school next day,she didn't sleep during the whole night.She really wanted to study in a college,but she knew she couldn't.Her older sisters had the same treatments as her when they were about 11.So my parents and I grow up in a really different environment,we always have a different thought.
My dad is like a boss,he always give me some difficult tasks and ask me to complete them.My don't like his tasks at all,but it's really cool to show my dad that I Have Well Done the tasks.I tell him my thought,although he loves to listen,he never agrees with me.My mom is like a friend.When I was in China,sometimes I sleep with my mom and talk about our lives.We love to share about our happiness and sadness.As Mr.Griffin's question"do you really regard your mom as your friend?do you talk about your boyfriend with her?".I don't think that's a problem,because I don't talk about my boyfriend with my friends too.Boyfriend is private property！(￣^￣)
Although we always disagree with others,I really respect them.I have to admit they are good at business.They also attach importance to education. But I don't think parents need to involved in their children's education. They have their own job,and they are busy.Studying is our job.Studying hard,getting good grades and applying a good university are our private and responsibility.I don't want my parents to worry about my study.At last,I have to say,my parents are really generous,they don't mind how much money I spend.I appreciate what they have done for me.I love my parents.(*^_^*)
In my opinion, the parents is the first teacher in our life. For me, I think my father is my teacher, and my mom is more like a friend. My father need to work so he was always stay away from the home. So most of the time I stay with my mom and I like my mom more then my father.My father often stay not longer with me, he think he taught me so little, even he doesn’t think I have the good life habit. So every times he was backed, he taught me a lot, but I just couldn’t listen to him and stay away from him. Actually, I know he want me be better, but I get tired of his nagging. My mom is my best friend! I will talk with her my every situation. Even sometimes I just feel sad and cry in my room, She will comfort me and enlighten me.
ReplyDeleteI can talk to my mom everything and She would never blamed me, but she also be angry sometime. I love my parents, they are the best in my heart.
I use to hope that my mom can be a teacher. The reason of that is very simple, I can go to her office and eat snacks during break time. Parents are their kid's first teacher. They teach their kids social skills virtually, and the family environment influences their kid's life a lot. According to the research, most of criminals have a unhappy family. It is really important to have good parents. I am glad that I was born in a happy family, I have a nice dad and a pretty mom. Even though my parents are business man, they still taught me lots of life skills. They never invade my privacy, and I love to share secrets with my mom. I am good at making friends, so my mom doesn't really control my social life. Usually, my dad's role in our family is make money and bring gifts for us. My mom's role in our family is take care of my sister and me. When I was in primary school, my mom beat me a lot. I was such a naughty girl, hahaha. My grades were not very good in my old high school, and my mom even cried for that. She is worried that I cannot go to a good collage, and it will influence my future. Then they gave another option which is study in TA. And I am glad that I made this decision. My parents teach my a lot, and I will still gain skills from them. I love them so much.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion a good parents should have the following point.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, a good parent should always talk with their children, they need to build a good relationship with their child. To build a good relationship with child can let the family more peaceful, and a good relationship will bring the family more communication. If parents can talk to their childrens like a friends can let their child feel the respect.
Second, parent should give their child more free time, to let them control theirself. Everyone have their own idea, to give their children more free time can let them grow more independence.
Last but not least, I think a good parents need a lot of knowledge, they can figue out their child’s question when they need, and teach them.
To be the good parents is very easy.
ReplyDeleteFor job,they don't need to own a company or has a big industry. They just need to have a job, that can afford my fee and the daily life.The child at least should have the college education, so he/she can find a job easy in society.
I think parents should't involved in the child's socie life when he/she is not an adult beacuse at that time, parents are the teacher of the child. All the event and everything the child is now going through, the parents have already experice before. At this age, the parents are all teachers to the child, they share the experiment and tell the child what is the best way to solve the problems.
When the child becomes an adult, the parents are not teachers any more, they are becoming the guides of the child. when he/she becomes an adult, he/she cannot rely on the parents that often any more. He/She should find the way they are going for living and all that staff. When the child become an adult, he/she cannot just listen to what the parents tell you and do so, he/she need to think: is that a true thing for me to do, is that good for me too but not just my parents. At this time, the child is thinking and the parents are guiding.
Also, parents are the indispensable parts of the child's life, that can be not staying with the child at every moment, but they need to always stay in a place that easy for the child to find. The only reason for that is parents are people involved the most in the child's life.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think good parents must be blamed for children because they have this duty, and also it is first duty of parents! My parent are the best in my heart. When I was really young, my family were really poor. My parents brought our big family from small Village to big city for their jobs and my better future. They think I can get better chance of education from big city, and they can get better jobs and earn more money for my future in Wuhan. If my parents don’t make this decision, I will absolutely have no chance to study in America!
Because of my grandfather influence, my parents also teach me to become a patriot, and I think I am. They are my teachers, and I am proud of them because their achievement. They teach me lots of how to become a man, a man with responsibility and ability.
They are also my friends, my father sometimes play computer games with me, and my mother usually watch anime with me just for fun. If I meet some problems, or setbacks in America, they will use their social experience to help me, and encourage me!
I love my family because they teach me what love is, and what responsibility is. Thank for them, they teach me what goal is and what exertion is. I love them, whatever this world how to change!
A gd mother is the one who loves her child a lot. Same as the good father. I think parents should be a part of their child's career and education. "A part" means to be a good proponent but not a oppressor. The child would take suggestions if they agree w/ them. Each person has their own property, so I don't thk good parents should be in their social life. A good parent should be a like a gd fri.

Thanks, everyone, for your thoughtful responses to what makes a good parent. It is clear from your writing that parenting comprises many roles, and is highly demanding. It follows that becoming a parent is a big deal, a responsibility that should not be taken on lightly.
ReplyDeleteI want to be a friends with my parents, but I know it's almost impossible. I make a very well relation with my parents, but this relation is very different with friends. More part of my parents are teachers for me, and my mother is different kind of teacher with my father. My mum is more melting teacher for me. When I did some worry things, she always tell me what did I do is not ok, but my father always doesn't like talk.
ReplyDeleteI think the parents should be the guide of their child. When we were young, parents are the two people we spent most of time of. Somehow, we always imitated what our parents did when we were a baby. The basic judgement will form at the young age, so what our parents do when we are a little are very important, it will affect our whole life. It's not like a teacher but actually more like a model. For example, if the parents love each other so much, then the child will learn that he or she should love his or her family in the future.

ReplyDeleteI think is hard to be a good parents. In my mind a good parents shouldn't give child too many pressure。Good parents to children learning in addition to the school is in the home to a good learning environment for children, so in the home you want to create a learning atmosphere, let your children enjoy learning can be at home and won't be disturbed, especially the children in the study when parents not at home playing games or is playing cards like affect children learning.Perhaps the parents usually have their own work to be busy, but the growth of children is not a lack of parent company, parents should be in the leisure time to communicate more with their children, to understand children's learning to live what's not working place, and then solve the problem about the help children, best can every week, so a few days can and children once communication opportunities.
ReplyDeleteI am very lucky because I have the best parent in the world who always support me and encourage me do anything I want. However, it doesn't mean that they are easy to me. In contrast, they are very tough when I was young. They teach me what is good and what is bad, they show me how to respect and the meaning of humility but be confident of what I do. They teach me that developing is not we better than someone. It's about we better than we were yesterday. They had never given me money before they showed me how to spend money in a right way. They provide me enough knowledge before I grow up when I know what is the best for me. When I grow up, they don't teach me anything but they always give me advices and I can hear it or not because now, my life is in my own hand. Therefore; I think that being a good parent is not force them to do anything you want. But the good parent is the one who show their child which is right or wrong and let them make their own decision
ReplyDeleteIn order to be a good parent,the most important thing is talking to kids,once you know what kids are thinking what they want,you will know how to treat them.A good parent is strict,kind and patient.When kids make some mistakes,they need to correct it and make them remember don't do that anymore somehow,this somehow is always something like punishment.When kids do something outstanding they should give them encourage,let them feel proud of what they did.Also little babies are hard to talk with,good parents need to be patient,teach same things once and once again.These things are all factors can affect a kid's growth.The most important part is spending time with kids,give kids all the love you have,happiness is the best thing we can ever have in this world!
ReplyDeleteParents can be friends when you were playing, parents can be confidant when you were sad, parents can be disciplinarian when you making mistake, parents can be boss when you having a bad grade, but not all the parent treat there child like that, I think if a parent can be like that, and he will be a good parent, I want to be a good parent when I have child, and I think parents don't have the responsibility to help there child on career, the future is choose on them self.
ReplyDeleteParents are good leaders and teachers. However, they're not good friends.
ReplyDeleteI don't think children can really be friends with their parents. Parents are more likely to guide you not listen to your complaint about your life. Although we always want to share our "personal stories " with friends, talking about these kind of topics with parents is very strange. They usually think we're in trouble and need their help. They give us many suggestions and support, but we actually just want them to listen to us and understand us!
Parents are the most important relatives in our lives. We're too important so they can't seem us as their friends.
I think parents can be both a teacher and a parent. They are the ones who are supposed to teach us what's good and what's bad, they usually do this when we are still young so that we can grow up knowing what we are supposed to do.Parents should also be like best friends so we can be I think parents can be both a teacher and a parent. They are the ones who are supposed to teach us what's good and what's bad

It hard to describe what is a good mother because every people is different, it is the same as mothers. They are also a child when they were young, until now they are forever children in their parents eyes. They are just our mothers in our eyes. Mother is a name just we called them, it is what they help us but not what they have to do for us. I think mother will be more obvious on the surface than dad reveals her feelings , and dad is more implicative, there is no denying that they love you. Parents give us are not only physical, but also the guidance and the education of the mind. My father told me that he wanted me to study hard not because he wants me to compare with others, but to let me have more choice in the future, he don’t want my job have too much work to do, that will influence my life. And also don't live for survival, there are so much better things in the world waiting for me to experience. He has lots of experience and he wants to tell me his experiences. He is my mostly a teacher and guide. Parents job is to set up our world outlook and outlook on life values, they are our best teacher.
I think a good mother is the one that makes his children see how the world is, the one that make his children study explaining him that is good for him, the one who allows you to hang out with your friends and the one who is always there, I don't know how to explain it but a mother is your teacher of your life and that you have to obey whatever she tells you because she will always want the best for you. I don't know what more could I say because I'm not father but I think that it's what I said.
ReplyDeleteA good parents should be little bit of both a teacher and a friend. They should teach and take care of kids, but kids should be able to share their problems.
ReplyDeleteMy parents are my teachers and my friends. They guide me in my life and they spend al lot of time to have fun with me.
In my own opinion, I think a good parent is a guide, a teacher and also a good friend. Every parent is responsible for her or his children even though he or she probably is a single mother or father. When we are born, we know nothing about the world. Our parents are the first people we know in the world. As the light of our life, our parents should be our guide who lead us to know the world and help us to find out what we want in our life. As we are growing, we are making mistakes. As we are making mistakes, we are learning from those mistakes. Our parents are also our friends who know us the best and always be with us.
ReplyDeleteI think defining a good person can provide many different definitions depending on who you ask. The same is true for trying to define a good parent. Parents should have a foundation of love where they actually care about the child. This includes giving attention and showing affection to the child. Parents must be able to create and sustain a good family environment. Possessing the resources and capital to be able to support the baby for many years after their birth is just a small part of this. A good parent should also be a good person.They should be able to take care of themselves and have the general characteristics of patience,care,responsibility,and understanding. So a good parent is someone who can provide love,life necessities for their child and themselves.
ReplyDeleteA good parents should have many kinds of identity while their children is growing up. Before kids go to school, parents should be childminders. They have to take care of their kids very carefully, and they need to make sure the health of their kids. When the kids are in a primary school, parents should be teachers. They need to solve many questions that their kids have in school, because at that time kids don't know too much, but they need to learn a lot. When their children are in a middle school or a high school, parents should give them some personal space and let them learn to do something by themselves. Finally after the children graduate from a high school, parents should be supporters of their children. Understanding is very important to be a supporter. Parents should know their children's thinking and help them silently when their children have a hard time on social aspect.
