Parenting Skills- Parents as Role Models

To be good parents is not easy as 1,2,3.

 

Every veteran parents know that it took them years of trials and errors to bring up their children with good moral and educational background.

 

However, parents should set as role models, good examples so that children could imitate their actions.

 

In most families, parents and children spend at least 10-20 years together under the same roof.

 

Hence it is quite impossible that within a family, children couldn’t help but imitate and influenced by the actions and behaviors of their parents , be it good or bad mannerism.

 

 

Family bonding

 

The nature of individual family bonding depends on the nature of the parents itself.

 

If both parents are naturally warm and constantly showering lots of hugs and kisses among their children and adult siblings, this loving influence will embedded into the childrens’ mind.

 

Ironically, if the family bonding is not close at all, constant bickering, arguments, fightings, violence or abused, then children will naturally grow up in a negative background with dark secrets.

 

 

 

Father role model

 

It is God’s nature that fathers and sons are often seen in close relationship, that the father becomes the role model of the son’s point of view, so does the whole family.

 

Father holds the highest position in the family, the sole bread winner in the family which is the reason why that fatherly role is crucial in each family.

 

If the father behaves lovingly, showering lots of love and care towards the wife ( mother),  this will certainly set a good example to his son too.

 

In return, the son will imitate dad’s behavior towards his own girlfriend or future wife, as the same way he saw how his dad treated his mom.

 

Since the males of the family constantly behave the same pattern, the father should take note that his own actions would impact on his son since young to adult age.

 

 

Mother Role Model

 

Vice versa, the mother sets as the role model infront of her daughter’s point of view too.

 

Most daughters are closer to mothers since tender young age because they are dependable and clung on mom’ s bonding more than dad.

Hence, the daughters would be influenced by the actions and mannerism the mother does towards the father and sons of the family.

 

How much time and effort that she had sacrificed for her partner and children would impact greatly onto the daughter’s mindset.

In future, she will imitates her mother’s behavior alike a “photocopier”.

The bonding between parents, their conversation and skinships affect greatly upon their children because they can see what is happening at home.

 

Hence, avoid heated arguments infront of the children.

Once a while bickering is allright but remember to give and take in order to make peace at the end of the day.

 

 

Conclusion

 

Overall, parents should always remember that they are the role models of their children when they are at home.

 

Beware of the conversation involved in the family.

Avoid using curse and swearing words infront of the children because they pick up bad habits quicker than anything else.

 

It is not easy to become a good role model parent but I am sure that  you wouldn’t want to “duplicate” your bad habits into your children either, right?

    • Agree with you on many of the points discussed in the above topic. As parents are the role models it is the responsibility to see that children grow in a emotionally strong and secure bond. The positive vibes among the parents plays a very important role in forming the personality and character of the children. Children first look at their parents and then other elders and senior peers and learn their mannerisms as they keep growing. Parenting is a continuous process and does not stop at any particular age. Parents should stand rock solid with their children as it matters them a lot in times of turmoil and tensions which in turn may affect their personality and behaviour. The suggestions given are useful to any aspiring parent or to anyone interested in the topic as they can communicate this wherever it is needed to be communicated to.
