What Responsible Parents Don’t Do
Responsible parenthood is an ability of parents to detect the need of happiness and desire of children and helping them to become responsible children. It is the shared responsibility of a father and mother to determine and achieve the desired number, spacing, and timing of their children according to their own family life aspirations, and concerns. Responsible parenthood doesn’t limit only on fulfilling the demand of children and rearing them up properly but goes beyond that.
Therefore, here are the 5 things that responsible parents don't do:
Number 1. They don’t fake their attention to kids
They are genuine parents and so when they spend time with the kids, they actually do. They do not just pretend to be there physically. They are mindful of their kids’ presence and give undivided attention to their kids.
Number 2. They don’t compare their kids with others
They don’t fall into the comparison trap to make their child feel inferior. They believe in the individuality of their kid and stay away from unnecessary comparisons and judgements.
Number 3. They don’t stop their kids from voicing their opinions
They value what their kids have to say and let the children have a thinking process of their own. They also do not judge their kids based on their differing opinions.
Number 4. They don’t thrust their decisions upon their kids
They treat their kids as individuals and hence do not thrust their own choices and decisions upon the kids. They first let their kids choose and then depending upon the choice to decide whether or not to follow the kids’ decisions.
Number 5. They don’t “act” as great parents
They do not act or pretend. Whatever they are, they are in reality. They do not shower compliments upon their kids in front of others and criticize them when alone and nor do they act too goody-goody to gain appreciation from others. Responsible parents learn to become great parents by doing the above mentioned 11 things and they do so heartily.
