Parenting much earlier and parenting now is very different. It's just the opposite. These days, you have to be a friend to your children. You need to have a reason when you tell your children that something is not allowed. Now,it's all about reasoning and giving a logical answer behind what you say to your children. It can't be "because I said so.." You need to have logic behind it. Then, being respectful to elders or anyone the children meet is very important. Equally important is, children have to be taught to give respect to the people who work for or with the parents.
When these qualities are imbued in the children, people would evaluate them as brave, sensitive and well mannered. As we all know very well, kids of this generation mature way earlier. They are much more aware and intelligent. They are empathetic too.
You have to be a friend to your children. In fact you have to be their best friend. It's very important to allow your children to speak. Let them speak their mind. Encourage them to do that. But have the courage to say 'No' to sleepovers.
True, children learn a lot from school. However, we cannot forget that they learn a lot more from their own homes as well.
It is evident, dynamism in parenting style alone can bring the best out of the children.
