The definition of good parents

Family is the minimal unit in one country. In addition, it cultivates one person’s personality, thoughts, and actions in an ingrained way. So parents become the most significant supervisors during the period when children are bringing up. I will divide the period into three main parts to discuss the different attitudes and characteristics parents should notice and possess.
The first period is infancy and childhood which children’s age is between 0 to 12 years old. In this duration of time, children are influential by their parents and surroundings. Children are good at imitating and they desire encouragements. They might be fragile seemingly but this is the important period for them to form personality, build confidence, and develop talents and skills. In my opinion, good parents should take care of their children in an attentive and intensive way. When I was in my childhood, I remembered my parents let me learn versatile skills, including sports, arts, languages, and musical instruments and I can hardly forget any of them until now. After growing up, I am interested in plenty of things in different fields. Moreover, they let me go to kindergarten and elementary school independently. They did care about my grades but not in a stern and forced way. So I can delightfully develop my advantages and what I am interested in. I appreciate the way my parents taught me which makes me become a self-controlled person.
The second period is adolescence and the age is between 13 to 18 years old. In this period, youths are influenced mostly by their peers and they rebel their parents frequently. Youths often put the emphasis on developing their friendships instead of focusing on academic studying or caring about family. In this period, people show the great differences on both mentality and body. And youths yearn for getting rid of restricting by their parents. Thus parents are facing great difficulties on education in this period. In my viewpoint, parents should stop strictly disciplining their children otherwise children will run away from them. Moreover, adults should still teach their children how to differentiate right or wrong things and let youths do what they want without restraint. I remembered that I did change a lot in this period, too. I cared only about my friends and seldom studied. I also came home late which made my parents started to worry about my future. But after this period, I introspected and changed myself spontaneously. I felt grateful to both of my parents since they did not scold me harshly.
The third period is the adulthood, which is above 18 years old. Since normal adults can act regularly, parents should be democratic to their children. Parents should give their children pertinent suggestions and right direction instead of interfering within their decision in this period. For example, my parents do not exhibit any of my activities after I entered university. On the contrary, they gave me the freedom toward what I want. Their education method makes me become independent, self-motivated and confident person.
Consequently, no matter what methods do parents use, they should not forget to educate their children with the passion of love. The passion of love means parents should accompany their children when they felt frustrated, concern with their daily life, and interact with them as much as they can. Bringing up a child has always been a tough issue. Only knowing one child thoroughly that parents know the suitable and appropriate way to educate their children.
