  1. I agree with the saying that being a good parent is not about how much time you spend with the children, it is about the quality of time. I appreciate literally every second that my parents spend with me, because we know that we all will pass away one day and we should really appreciate everything our parents do for us. In my opinion, the key of being a good parent to children is to show your love and care, attention and support for them. And the key of being a good child to parents is to respect your mother and father, to do what they advise you, love them and take care of them when they get old. Henry Ward Beecher said "There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child". Remember that!

  2. Of course, I really agree with this. Parents can be next to their child (in one room) and do their own business, completely ignoring the child. This doesn't bring the family together.
    The main key of a good parent-child relationship is real attention, care, kisses and hugs. Children shouldn't feel fear and mistrust. If your child cannot tell you something about his life, then you should think about it, that's exactly your mistake.
    P. S. The fact that you have a child does not yet make you a real parent.

  3. I think the main idea of it: being a good parent is not about how much time you spend with the children, it's about the quality of this time that parents can spend a lot of time with their children but at this time they can constantly fall out, argue about different things, offended to each other and this time will be lived in vain. My opinion that the key to being a good parent to children it is to be a support for your child, interested in his life and that the child did not forget that his parents love him. The main key to being a good child it is should remember that our parents do a lot of things for us and we should care about them and value them and their efforts.
    And I think we should remember all of this, because our family-it is our life.

  4. Yes, I agree with the sentens about the quality of time that you spend with you're child.
    You can be in one room with you're child, and do different things for a long time (don't communicate with each other), it's useless spendig of time with you're child. But you can do the same things together for a short time, it's woud be more useful then sitting in different corners of the room.
    To be good child it's very easy, just do what you're parents say to you, and appreciate them. To be good parent little bit difficult, you need to bring up you're child and spend quality time with him.
    Actually to communicate with each other well you need to find common interests.

  5. I agree that being a good parent is not about how much time you spend with children, it's about the quality of this time.In my opinion the quality of time that parents spend with children it is not only sit with baby and do nothing while he's busy with something, it is to take part in this. Offer your child to play something. If you are busy with some housework, encourage your child to do this together. It easier for you and you will spend time with your child. Talk with your child. This is very important. Ask about his success in school. This does not mean that just about grades, ask about his friends at school , about their relationship. If he's having trouble at school, no need to shout "I will come and kill everyone", discuss with the child the whole situation and together try to find a solution, advise him something and well if the child will be able to handle it. Be interested in his life, but don't do so it was like an interrogation. Try to be their friends, so he doesn't have anything to tell. Because when he needs advice, he's just afraid to tell you about the problem. This is the key to being a good parent for children.The child must listen to the advice of their parents and take them into account. Of course the child himself must draw conclusions, but he may take into account the views of parents, they don't want to hurt him. Perhaps they are contrary to his desires, but it is possible to take into account and evaluate their care. Parents always care about children, and children should care about their parents even at a young age. No one is forcing you to do something impossible, any detail , just wash the dishes, clean his room. You are not difficult and she was nice. Parents always interested in your life ,children should somehow interested in parents life too. Just a little conversation . Ask your parents how was their day, if they are tired offer them an hour to rest. Seemingly small things, but these small things make it clear that you love. I think it is keys to be a good child for parents.

  7. I absolutely agree with the idea that being a good parent is not about how much time you spend with your child. Nowadays many parents are really busy at work. They don’t have enough time for spending it with their children but they come home, sit with the child and listen to a short story their child tells them. Sometimes it’s more important just to sit some minutes with a child and listen to him reading or listen to a song he is listening. The child will appreciate it more than all the time spent without any meaning and sense. One day all of us will pass away and that’s why we should appreciate every second , every moment. It’s important when a parent comes home and just asks “Let’s make dinner together” or “Do you have problems at school”. I think being a good child and a good parent is to listen to each other and to hear each other. People should come to a compromise, shouting or blaming won’t lead to any good things. The only thing that unites people is doing something together, just a small thing, just being some minutes together. Sometimes we don’t listen to our parents but parents shouldn’t blame us for that because we really hear them and try to understand. A child should appreciate everything that his parents do. We are only obliged to parents because they do everything for us and do their best for making us to be good people.

  8. I agree with the main idea of it.It is important for parents to spend quality time with kids regularly even if they are busy.When you are spending time with your child, do not just play or watch television, try to talk to him. Ask him about the day at school and share some of your day also.
    In my view, the key to being a good parents to child is love his/her, huge his/her, ask him/her about his/her friends and interests and especially trust him/her! Opportunity to tell parents everything, get support and advice from him is the best way to have a good relationships.

  9. Yes,I agree with this.I think many parents do not pay enough attention to their children.They are busy with work, constantly thinking how to earn more to provide their children.But they do not think that children need their parents.Children need support, love, understanding.Children should feel that they are needed, that they are loved.
    No matter how much time you spend together, the main thing is how you spend it. After all, life is moments. And it is so important that these moments are good.Spend time with your parents, talk to them, say that you love them, because once you do not succeed. And all that you will have is memories and I hope that these will be only good memories.

  10. Yes, I agree with this statement: being a good parent is not about how much time you spend with the children, it's about the quality of this time. I appreciate the time that I spend with my family because we often can get together. Since we never know when our time will come, therefore we should appreciate all that you have and not to regret about the fact that you do not have time to do or say something. I think that the key to being a good parent to child is enough to say that you love child and cherish him, more often interested in the success of child and support it when he made a mistake. And the key of being a good child to parents is
    you should listen to advice of parents, to respect them, to help the least in household chores. Then try to make your parents proud you.
    Of course we should care about their parents , care for them, because once we even not able to do without their help. And we should be grateful to parents but they raised us and we will become good and successful people .
