There appears to be a clear set of definitive rules for any occupation or sport that you might occupy but when it comes to being a parent those rules are hard to find. Let’s be a bit more clear the rules on being a bad abusive parent are fairly clear but to be a good parent that’ s an entirely new ballgame. How generous should you be without spoiling your child? Is it more important to let your child struggle out of that situation or do they need a helping hand and foot?
The funny thing is even thought there is no clear rule book we can clearly see when a parent has hit that home run. Whether it be the parent that stays up endless hours helping their child recover from a bad cold, or a parent who will act with enthusiasm as they take their child to a movie they find annoying ; good parenting is as clear as a pane of glass. I guess they tried out a rule book in the past but replaced with love and caring instead. The great thing about being a parent is that although you might fail a quiz every once in awhile it’s a class (G-D willing) you get to take over and over again and like a good wine only gets better over time.
