Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. You must agree with me that good child up bringing is not an easy feat but with dedication and whichever parenting style you must have chosen it is achievable. These days I have seen many parents fail in their duties, they end bringing up kids that turn into a menace to the family and society at large. Parenting is not easy, which is why I will always say anyone who is not ready to be a parent should not try it until they are ready.

As a parent your kids look up to, you are like a role model to them and whatever you do they emulate and follow in your footsteps. This is why your way of life must change from the very day your child is born or if possible before they are born. Despite being an adult as a parent there are so many things that are expected of you, as a parent though an adult you are not expected to stay out late because the kids are watching and it is expected of you as the parent to live an exemplary life. As a parent a lot of adjustment are expected of you.
We all dream to be parents some day and have already chosen our parenting strategy and style, how we plan to raise our kids. Things we'd say to them, things we'd do to them and things we'd do for them, we as well have things we'd never do to them, say to them or do for them. Whichever style of child upbringing you must have opt in for just make sure it's a style that will help put your kids on the right track and help push them towards pursuing their dreams.
I grew up with very strict parents, dad was never around so it forced mom to be strict too. As a kid I hated how strict my parents were because their strictness interfered with how much free time we had and I needed more but now as a grown up I am grateful to them for being so strict. I loved how they joined hands to bring us up and on the right track, and I will love to do the same for my kids. I will definitely love to adopt their parenting style for my kids too, because it worked perfectly.
My dad will always say one thing that kills a child's morale or force them to do certain wrong things is comparing them to other kids and both mom and dad never compared us to other kids. When you compare your kids to another you are forcing them into a competition and they'd do anything to win or impress you as the parent that way you have given room for wrong doings. I will never compare my child to another, at their own pace they will get things done as comparing your child to another is same thing as putting them under pressure.
Thanks for reading my post.
