Thanks to fellow emcee. Assalamualaikum and good morning to the respected headmistress Mrs
Salimah Hj Mos, Academic Senior Assistant Mr Jamil B Hj Julai, HEM Senior Assistant Mrs. Latifah Hj Tahir,
the respected teachers of Pre-School, Management Assistant Pupils and parents together. thank you for taking
the time to attend our ceremony today. First of all, I would like to give my gratitude for the opportunity that is
given to me to share with all of you some tips on how to be a good parent to our children. In order to be a good
parent, we have to take note about the important things in parenting our children. We also need to know what the
characteristics of a good parent is.
deal with the pressure of grades, the future, etc. Home should be a place where we look forward to being at
the end of the day. A good parent works to create a home that is a place of warmth, acceptance, and laughter.
Besides, a good parent realizes that one of the best gifts that he can offer his children is himself .
Too many parents try to buy their way to their childrens hearts. Ive been around many teens during the last
eight years. I have not known any who I thought were deprived by having to drive an older model car, etc.
However, I have known a number of teens whose parents were too busy for them and unavailable emotionally. I
have known several who received no moral or spiritual direction from their parents, whatsoever. Consequently,
these kids felt as if their parents really did not know what was going on in their lives not to mention their hearts.
Our children need a parents who is fully engaged in their lives.
others may believe. At other times, courage may be needed to let go and allow a child to make certain choices
and experience the consequences of such choices, so he can learn and grow. Courage is not reckless, nor is it the
absence of fear; it's the willingness to try, and do what needs to be done, despite having fears.
Parents who are confident don't have all the answers, but they are confident in their abilities to do the
best they can. When they don't know the answer, they look for it. Rather than dwell on their own mistakes,
confident parents are willing to admit them, learn from them, and make better choices in the future. They see
problems as opportunities to learn and grow. As a result, they're in a better position to help their child develop
self-confidence, as well.
Gratitude in parenting helps a parent appreciate their child as they are. Gratitude says, "I like who you
are and who you are becoming." Gratitude helps parents become aware of, and help build on a child's strengths.
A grateful parent focuses on and accepts the present moment, doesn't fret about past mistakes, or worry about
the future. Gratitude in parenting helps parents become more approachable, and a positive influence in their
child's life.
Probably one of the hardest characteristics to develop in parenting, but the most needed, is the
characteristic of understanding. Many times it can be hard for parents to deal with a child's misbehaviours,
mostly because they don't understand them. One of the worst things a parent can do is take their child's
misbehaviours personally. As part of their growth and development, children are going to misbehave and do
things that go against the rules. Knowing this can help parents anticipate and redirect a child toward more
positive and acceptable behaviours, and avoid a lot of unnecessary anger. Understanding can also lead to
forgiveness.
Happiness is not given to a chosen few; it's available to those who choose to make it a part of their
everyday life. Many people wait for things, events, and other people to make them happy, but this is a mistake.
Choosing to be happy is a choice we can all make because it comes from within. It's a reservoir that we can tap
into whenever we choose. It's not designed to make problems go away, although, sometimes it may. Happiness
can help us rise above our problems, and not just survive, but thrive, in spite of them. Plus, it just feels good to
be happy. Parents who practice happiness have a greater chance of influencing their child's perception of
happiness, and their attainment of it, as well. Most children are naturally happy and enjoy being around happy
parents.
your parenting to fit your child. Keep pace with your child's development. Your child is growing up. Consider
how age is affecting the child's behaviour.
The same drive for independence that is making your three-year-old say 'no' all the time is what's
motivating him to be toilet trained. The same intellectual growth spurt that is making your 13-year-old curious
and inquisitive in the classroom also is making her argumentative at the dinner table. For example, an eighth
grader is easily distracted, irritable. His grades in school are suffering. He's argumentative. Should parents push
him more, or should they be understanding so his self-esteem doesn't suffer?With a 13-year-old, the problem
could be a number of things. He may be depressed. He could be getting too little sleep. Is he staying up too late?
It could be he simply needs some help in structuring time to allow time for studying. He may have a learning
problem. Pushing him to do better is not the answer. The problem needs to be diagnosed by a professional.
To be a good parent, you also need to establish and set rules. If you don't manage your child's
behaviour when he is young, he will have a hard time learning how to manage himself when he is older and you
aren't around. Any time of the day or night, you should always be able to answer these three questions: Where is
my child? Who is with my child? What is my child doing? The rules your child has learned from you are going
to shape the rules he applies to himself. However, you can't micromanage your child. Once they're in middle
school, you need let the child do their own homework, make their own choices, and not intervene. Besides, you
also need to foster your child's independence. Setting limits helps your child develop a sense of self-control.
Encouraging independence helps her develop a sense of self-direction. To be successful in life, she's going to
need both.
