It’s an important question.
The answer, however, can be complicated.
If you feel your parent(s) did a good job of preparing you for life, you may want to emulate their style.
And you may copy their style consciously or unconsciously.
If, however, the parenting you received did not prepare you properly, are you repeating it?
If you are a single parent, are you free to parent in your style while perhaps having to share the job with an absent partner?
The extra demands of single parenthood may, however, cause you to cope with those demands while attempting to be the best parent you can be.
Also, in a two parent household, you and your partner were probably parented differently.
This will call for a meeting of the minds on how to handle the many situations that will occur.
We all make mistakes as parents. There are so many ways to raise children and the vast majority are successful.
Be aware that the misuse of social media may be a bad and competing influence on your child.
Do your best. Continue to learn and study how to be a good parent.
Select good, positive role models and above all EXPRESS YOUR LOVE FOR THEM EVERY DAY
