La Famille

Good parents don't immediately blame their children

It is not necessarily the fault of the children

They are reasonable

They do not fight and they never shout

They stay calm and logical

As for school, they don't accept straight away the critics of the teachers.

They are nice, open and relaxed

As for (their) friends

Rarely, sometimes, from time to time, normally, always, often

They rarely lose their temper

They always respect opinions of their children

They fight sometimes

They are often open and laid back

They rarely refuse to accept the reasons of their children

They always listen to their kids

Grant lots of indepenence to their children

Help their kids to be happy

Help the kids to succeed

Love their kids without conditions

I would respect the kids

To give all the necessary advice

To encourage respect and positive attitudes

To be firm with their kids

To be strict with their kids

To protect their kids all the time

If i was mum od the familly, i would ensure a safe family atmosphere

At the same time

You must listen to opinions, ideass, problems

You must be there to listen to kids

You must respect their feelings

You must respect the choice of friends, clothing, boyfriends, musique and studies

You must respect the privacy
Their private life
Their bedroom

Youo must repect their personal space

You must be patient, tolerant and understanding

You must give good advice

To give freedom

To be reasonable

To be interested in their school progress

You mut not blame the kids for no reason

You must not critisize them

You must not fight in front of the kids

You must not be on their case all the time

They are clearly too strict

Despite the uncertainty it can bring upon a family

Lets discuss

Its a plus for all
