How are you going to raise a child?

There is no "best thing to do" Disipline is very important, but what kind of disipline depends on the child. It really is just trial and error!

hi iola2012! for me i would like to raise my child to have fear to God and to have a respect and love to other person i also want my child to finish he/his studies as well , to have a good job on the future, raising a child is difficult because there are many different influences as well either good or bad, but the first thing that i will teach to my daughter/ son is FEAR TO GOD and RESPECT

I'm going to raise my child the way that I've been raised. My parents put a lot of trust on me and my siblings, giving us the responsibility to deal with life on our own. It's not like they didn't serve their role as parents, they just made us feel in control of our lives (but not too much that we can do ANYTHING). I feel that children should have a little more freedom so that they may learn some life lessons on their own.

I'd probably raise my child in mixed way, loving but disciplinarian, my children must know how to have perseverance in life and love people at the same time. I want them to be a good Samaritan.

A responsible parents know from the bottom of their heart how they are going to raise they child. A child must be taken cared of with utmost attention giving them what is needed for the child. Of course they should not make their child a brat. Also the most important thing of all, there should be love.

I believe you should discipline your child whenever appropriate. Even if you love your child very much, discipining him/her is important part of making him more responsible.

I am very impressed with the writings of Dorothy Law Nolte in his book: Children Learn What They Live. If a child is raised with the reproach, he / she learned to curse If a child is raised with hostility, he / she learns to fight If a child is raised with ridicule, he / she learns inferiority If a child is raised with insults, he / she learned to regret If a child is raised with tolerance, he / she learns restraint If a child is raised with encouragement, he / she learns confidence If the child grew up with praise, he / she learns to appreciate If a child is raised with the best of treatment, he / she learns justice If a child is raised with a sense of security, he / she learns confidence If a child is raised with the support, he / she learned to like myself If a child is raised with love and friendship, he / she learns find love in life.

Discipline is still important, nowadays children are so pampered, parents often forget where to draw the line. You have to be a respected figure, as a parent it is your responsibility to instill values, manners and morals to your children. However, parents should also adapt to the fast changing world that we live in. Be open to them and earn their trust, establish mutual respect to strengthen the bond.
