Good Parenting
I have learned many good qualities from my parents that I can use with my future family. I am fortunate to have parents with many attributes that I highly respect. In this essay I am going to describe what I believe constitutes good parenting.
Growing up in a large family, conflicts seem to arise nearly each day. Whether these disagreements are trivial or serious, my parents always seem know to how to resolve these daily mishaps. When I face burdensome trials, my parents have always done their best to be patient and understanding to whatever difficult situations I may be going through. They listen and do their utmost to assist me in any way. Many times they would share their own personal life experiences in hopes of helping. My parents are great communicators and they seem to always have a solution to my problems.
My dad is the most able and zealous person I know. It seems he always has a major project he wants to achieve, especially with the whole family. He expects and encourages my siblings and I work every Saturday for six to eight hours on our farm. Most of the time I find Saturdays to be intolerable, but I know that he wants me to be hardworking. My dad has also put together a dog kennel, approximately 80 dogs, for my siblings and I so that we can learn responsible and how to take care of a family business.
I have been home-schooled almost my entire life, along with my brothers and sisters. My mom has given up virtually every single day to educate us kids at home, so that we would not have to experience distressing circumstances or harmful influences in public school. My dad also sacrifices everyday to go to work and provide for the family.
There are so many things that I have learned from my parents. They have taught me to be a virtuous, patient and a diligent person. They keep me safe from bad influences and even from myself sometimes when I convince myself or I am convinced by others to make a bad decision.
Throughout my life my parents have been very consistent. For as long as I can remember, we would have breakfast and dinner everyday as a family. Also, as I mentioned previously, our family does very laborious work, which helps us to bond with each other. They constantly remind me to have honorable goals that will encourage me to be a moral person. They have very high expectations of me to do my best at everything I do. However, if I deliberately disobey them I will always be punished. I understand why I must to be disciplined, to learn from my mistakes. Because of this, I always work hard to not repeat the same mistakes over again, and it will help me become a better person.
Even though my mother and father are very strict with me, I am extremely appreciative of everything they do. I know that they do their best for me and want me to be happy. The attributes my parents have been an example of, have now given me the chance to take them as they are or improve upon them for the bettering of my future children.
