Parenting is the process of promoting and supportingthe physical, emotional, social, and intellectual

development of a child from infancy to adulthood.

Being a parent is one of the most fulfilling

experiences a person can have. The most

important thing a parent can give their child,

however, is a sense of being loved.

Parenting refers to the aspects of raising a child

aside from the biological relationship.

How to be a good parent: Its all about

you!

Research has shown that the one thing a person can do

to be a better parent is to focus on developing him or

herself. This is where a person has to start in order to be

a loving, involved mother or father.

We project our critical feelings about ourselves on to

our children.

The ambivalent attitudes we have toward our children

are simply a reflection of the ambivalent attitudes we

have toward ourselves. It is not uncommon for parents

to disown their self-critical attitudes by projecting them

onto their child.

As a result, children begin to see themselves through a

negative filter, which will stay with them throughout

their lives.
