Parents play an important role in the life of a child. Advanced technology and the influence of peers have greatly affected children’s behavior of modern time. Therefore, the parent endowed with traits will know how to educate their children so they have an exceptional personality and behaviour . I do not think that there are ideal parents, because nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes at some point! But I think every parent is unique , has its own style in parenting their children and do what they consider the best in their child's education. However, in my opinion the ideal parents should be of good moral character, good listener and patience. Parents should have good moral character because children look up to them and learn from them and thus, parents are the most influential figures. Indeed, most children regard them as their role models .For example, my parents do not smoke or drink. They express virtue in all their actions. So they taught me to respect others and be polite. Good parents are willing to listen their children’s opinions, thoughts and feelings and be understanding. They know how to create the right atmosphere so that their children are comfortable talking to them about anything in their mind. The children feel free to discuss even sensitive or difficult issues. . A parent should accept his or her children for who they are and not to put so much hopes and expectations on them. This is to prevent the children from feeling upset and make them feel as though they are being pressurized. Instead they encourage and guide their children to making their own decisions and teach them to make decisions about what they want out of life.Being firm and well-disciplined are essential qualities an ideal parent should have.
