Whether they are at school or home, the major problem that parents face with their kids is disciplinary issues. In good old times, in a family, the father goes out to make money, and the mother will stay behind in the home. However, in the fast pacing century, both father and mother are going to work. To help those parents who are looking for a way to teach their children some moral values, there are a lot of ways there and I came up with this idea. There are a lot of apps available on the Appstore to teach children. S'moresup iOs app is designed especially for the parents who are struggling to manage their routines at home. It helps the parents both to engage more with their kids and to accomplish the chores at home.
A loving and devoted parent (or parents) is usually the best friend that a child has. It's just that the child doesn't know it. What are friends? Aren't they the people who've got your back? Don't friends love you when you're NOT lovable? Aren't friends the people you know you can trust with anything? You even trust your parents with your own children. If parents are not your friends then what are they? They certainly aren't your enemy!
I am friends with both of my parents. I don't have my own family so I am asking in behalf of my parent's daughter. yes, you can be friends with your child or parents and that is much better.
Emphatically yes. Parents are expected to be close friends to their children as it is the way by which the children can tell them their innermost secrets. But it shouldn't be seen on the part of the children as laxity to act unruly. Once that closeness is there between the parents and their children, if anything is wrong the children would be able to confide on their parents, but if that closeness is not there, the children won't be free to tell their parents when something is wrong. And case like this has led to several molestation done to children without the awareness of their parents.
Yes. Parents should not only be a parent but also a friend to their children. Ever had the experience when you feel more comfortable in confiding with your friends? This happens when the connection just lies within the parent-child relationship. There should still be a thin line between parents and a child just enough to establish authority. Other than than, they should be more like best friends who has each other's back anytime, anywhere.

Parents can beutsert with their children and different parents will have different opinions on this subject. Some parents might be willing to chat with their children and other parents might not. Some parents might not be willing to chat because they feel it would be uncomfortable for their children. What you see is what you get so it is important to remember that different parents will have different opinions on the matter.
