There are a lot of factors that can affect parenting, and in the world standards today, successful parenting is usually when both parents are committed to each other and treat each other with the kind of mutual respect that will result in a really good family relationship. Parents that instil values and guidance to their children, and parents who acts as the perfect role models for their children. As simple as that may sound, it's not always that easy. Below are some essential tips that could help you parent your children the right way. It's never too late to change your ways, there will always be room for improvement.

When it comes to disciplining your children, there are lots of different view points and debates. This is exactly the reason why you need to know where to put the boundaries when it comes to rules. There are rules to be set as soon as possible, as the earlier the better. You have to make sure that your kids understand why you are doing this, and that it is because you want them to learn good manners, the right conduct, and at the same time. You also want them to develop the right values.

It is very important that you give positive rewards and reinforcements such as praise when they do something good, but if they also do something bad (depending on the severity and weight of it), it is important that you give them a form of punishment that is worthy of the weight of the sin, such as giving them time outs or grounding them. It is crucial that you also be very firm with your rules when it comes to this as well. Visit http://kidshealth.org/parent/emotions/behavior/discipline.html to learn more.

And last but not the least, since you will be their role models from the very start, you have to at least show them a good role model. It is indeed true that children will follow anything that they see, so if you show them bad manners then they will most likely develop them when they grow up as well. Make sure that you check yourself and be a better influence on your child so you will also be able to make certain that they will not grow up as people who will be scorned by society.
