Parents And Children

yeah i do think that parents should be jees like friends cause closer you are to your children the better and you can teach them many things that otherwise you can't. kids will listen to you more if you are friendly with them and they will respect you as well but if u are a abusive father or mother then the kids will develope a hate inside there hearts and on your face they will be good but behind your back they will diss you and when they are grown up they will diss u on your face, kids with abousive parents and childhood are more likely to end up in a jail cell as they can't excel in ther studies and same with ther professional life this comment is supported by alot of reasearch by myself and xternal sourcer......thankx

Yes, parents should be the first friends of their children. Because if a child can't view his parents as a friend the contrary may occurred, which will not help to build a bridge of trust and communication. But it doesn't mean that to bow down to become a friend to your child is degrading. Instead, it will uplift you in a level where your child will look up to you, in any situations. And he/she knows, you are always there for them. No matter what he/she looks like and especially no matter what happened. Love builds friendship and with friendship, respect and the rest will follow. By the way thanks for adding me to your friends Hotkuts! Have a nice day! (^^,)

Definitely yes, you have to be a friend to your kids also. In this way they will be closer to you and they will open up with you. instead of going to their friends. They will feel comfortable sharing things with you.

yes of course..let's just say that kids these days are more close and open to their friends rather than their own parents..so if you befriend your child (especially the teeners who are just entering adolescence stage)..then your child will be more open to talk about any isuues that she/he likes..she'll be comfortable communicating with you and that's a good thing i guess...
