By CEDRICK LEE A. CARMELO

The majority of parents cite their children as the reason they smile, laugh, and wake up each day. Every day of our lives, we add memories to our kids’ memory banks. Decent advice, aspirations, and ideas that will aid them in becoming a good and potential person in the future. The basic characteristics of a successful parent, such as spending quality time with our children, unconditional love, and effective discipline, are what will enable us as parents to achieve this.
The first and most crucial characteristic of a successful parent is spending quality time with our kids. We will do this by having breakfast and dinner together, going to church each Sunday, seeing our grandparents and other relatives, and, if money is available, visiting the mall and other locations. With this crucial period for our family, we can keep an eye on, monitor, and provide lots of direction to our growing children.
The ability to love our children without condition is the second essential trait of a successful parent. Instead of criticizing them for their defects, differences, or weaknesses, we will encourage and push them to improve as people by being more mature on the inside—mentally, socially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Because they are the source of our happiness and the reason we work and save money, we parents must thus give our kids our wholehearted support and unwavering love.
The third and most crucial quality of a successful parent is the capacity to discipline our children in an appropriate, fair, and humane way. It is essential that our kids know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, what to do and what not to do, correct and incorrect, acceptable and unacceptable, etc. By the time they reach adulthood, they should be aware of why they are here. In order to guide them and avoid conflict and disobedience, it is also critical that we understand what they aspire to achieve in life, as well as their passions. Parents can assist their children be disciplined effectively by getting to know their children better and weighing the benefits and drawbacks of their experiences.
If all parents accept and put into practice the fundamental qualities of a good parent, we can have better children and a brighter future. Nevertheless, despite how wonderful our parents are, there are moments when our kids don’t behave well. All that is left to be done is to continue to spend quality time with them, to love them without conditions, and to punish them appropriately. Let’s not forget to give all to the Lord, our Savior. Because raising strong kids is simpler than trying to fix broken men, let’s take on the challenge of becoming better parents. ###
