If asked to recollect some of our dreadful moments from our childhood , it automatically goes back to days when we shuddered by the mere thought of being sent to a strict boarding school, locked up in a dark mosquito room, stretching our hands and knuckles to feel the metal rulers painfully strike us. Bullied by the kids from neighborhood, molested by the sex starved pedestrians at the bus stops, being picked by older siblings and relatives for no fault, harsh blow of bad words and scolding from parents, these are just enough to make us flinch with horror. My idea is to bring an open letter to parents and guardians to understand what transpires in reality yet, gets shoved under carpets of ignorance and myths about raising perfect children. Parenting and guardianship is more than what’s been believed to be and said to be. It requires same amount of training, learning and understanding as doing anything else .Parenting does not mandate on having an exceptionally high qualification, degree or diploma. It doesn’t matter how much is your IQ , how good are your looks , how heavy is your pocket or how wealthy are you. It only requires physical and mental participation to make life simple, warm with genuine love and regard to your little ones and sometimes even becoming a child to raise a child! For that your own experience of childhood is important .What went missing or was found in abundance in those golden years has made us what we are today. But a difficult little ingrate takes in form of an innocent child only when there is lack of consistent encouragement, affection, imbalance of discipline and fun. This breeds bad habits which in turn give rise to bad behaviors. Some of the parents unsuccessful in their attempts to correct their kids prefer to seek professional help from schools and specialists. Again, parenting is not a mediocre business to give off your difficult child in the custody of ruthless and sinister beings to rectify and instill in

    Today even, parents don’t have time for their kids too. They are also busy in their work, business. They don’t have time to teach their children the moral values, behaviour. They keep themselves so busy that they almost forget about their children. If any child or teen ager has any problem and he or she wants to discuss with parents, for that parents don’t have any time to listen to or discuss that problem. Parents want to give every comfort of life to their kids and like this they make themselves so busy that they even cannot get enough time to spend with their children, to listen to them. They forget to tell them about their great moral teaching, values those play a great role to make a person's life happy.

    Parenting is an acquired skill achieved usually at a early part of adulthood, or subliminally obtained from the false conception that reading a "How to Parent for Dummies" books will actually give you that skill. Two insightful passages into the world of parenting, a essay, "The Most Powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." written by Neil Millar and the short story "Be-ers and Doers" by Budge Wilson. Both passages attack the common ground of disrespectful children and how to raise them to your ideals. Although both passages share a similar goal they both host completely different attack strategies one much more aggressive then the other. The short story's "Be-ers and Doers" ideal of parenting is put far out of reasonable proportion, it would be feasible to think that the essay "The Most Powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." is a far more reasonable approach at parenting.…

    Parents owe children protection, education, love, and many other important things. But children owe parents respect, love, and trustworthiness. “I was too ashamed, mom. I hid.” Mom pointed her chopsticks at me. “You see?” She said, “Right there. That’s exactly what I’m saying. You’re way too easily embarrassed. Your father and I are who we are. Accept it.” We can all agree that the parents hold up the heavier side of this conversation, but no one can argue that children owe important things to their parents. “One time I saw a tiny Joshua tree sapling growing not too far from the old tree. I wanted to dig it up and replant it near our house. I told Mom that I would protect it from the wind and water it every day so that it could grow nice and tall and straight. Mom frowned at me. "You'd be destroying what makes it special," she said. "It's the Joshua tree's struggle that gives it its beauty.” Parents need to give their children space to grow by themselves. The parent’s duty is to make sure the child grows up in a good environment with education. But the little things like giving a little leeway can make all the difference in the world for your child growing up. Parents also owe their children protection, although protection wasn’t always the top of their lists. Rex walls and Rose Mary knew that keeping their child safe was more important than themselves.…

    The essay written by Jerri Cook titled Confessions of the World’s Worst Parent, is based on the book Free Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry written by author Lenore Skenazy (Cook). Cook provides similarities about raising her son and uses Skenazy’s experiences as they both point out the feeling of being judged by “good” parents because they gave their children the freedom to explore life without constant supervision. Cook shows the struggles between raising children the way she was raised and the way society wants them to be raised today. Cook explains to the audience in a humorous fashion the questions that all parents deal with, children and their freedom to explore and the paranoia that they will be hurt or taken. Presently the planet is dealing with the age of too much information, along with this comes misinformation and overinflated imaginations. Cook mentions that life for children was different when she was a child; children were left to their own devices and the parents trusted them to do the right thing and it did not do any harm (Cook). Cook explains throughout her that society may be producing a planet filled with paranoid parents and children…

    The authoritative parent has clear and realistic rules and expectations, a set routine, and consequences when children break the rules. The most important factor of this parenting style is the emphasis on a clear line of communication.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all children are not slaves to their creators nor responable for their duties. Families are created apon values which should be upheld and honored by all. These are consitituded by honoring the ideas of privacy, individualism, and self-empowerment. It is too often enough when a parent involves themself too much in an child's life, causing unwanted attention. When this occurs, an infrigement on basic values, it is the right of the child to raise up, and take the freedom that they deserve. For it the child that is struggling through school with muliple burndens. It is the right of a child to make thier own rules for when they have to be home and their descision for what they want to eat and when to eat it.

    Parenting and the way one chooses to parent is so crucial to child development; it affects every aspect of the child’s life. Parenting styles are choices and there is no right or wrong way to raise a child. In society there may be, but it only matters how to the person raising their child. There are endless ways people raise their children and even though we have four main parenting styles, sometimes many parents don’t even fit into one. Parents should just strive to raise their children as well as they can. The biggest thing a parent can do for their child is to teach them, support them, and be there for them. “At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.” - Jane D.…
