paRenting

    True/False.. A child is often the reflection of their parent(s)/circumstances/surroundings and the nature of their upbRinging/underStanding..which very often dictates/radiates their insight/character/actions/fruits. There is/are always opportunities to evolve/change towards the better, as we often hear/say to be the change, once exposed to the truth/substance of content, else its a blatant excuse of convenience/lack of will/encouragement/motivation. The art/science/economics of parenting is very often like the farmer who scattered/sowed seeds on the ground 'some' fell/sown on rocky grounds/among thorny bushes/sandy ground/fertile soil..one can easily predict  the fate of the seeds with time/circumstances into. The farmer to be linked to parent(s)/culture/nation, the seeds/fruits to their children/nation's people. The nature of soil/opportunities to the quantitative 'quality' of cultural upbringing/national priorities and their ethical guidelines/surrounded friendship,relationship values very often entangled/submerged within/for. 
Cutting/Copying/Pasting some pooled experiences/suggestions on parenting guidelines which I bumped into. Courtesy, one of the face book post's. 
If your child lies to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behavior. 
If your child is not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you've lost them. 
If your child had poor self-esteem, it is because you advice them more than you encourage them. 
If your child does not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.
If your child takes things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don't let them chose what they want.
If your child is cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.
If your child does not respect other people's feelings, it is because instead of speaking to your child, you order and command them.
If your child is too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehavior and you give little attention to good behavior.
If your child is excessively jealous, it is because you only congratulate them when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don't successfully complete it.
If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.
If your child is openly defied, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don't follow through.
If your child is secretive, it is because they don't trust that you won't blow things out of proportion.
If your child talks back to you, it is because they watch you do it to others and think its normal behavior.
If your child doesn't listen to you but listens to others, it is because you are too quick to make decisions.
If your child rebels it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right or wrong.

    After reading through, summarizing  parenting which to me now is very much more of an art, linked to common sense/apt presence of mind.The vital ingredients/tools required for reasonable/responsible parenting is/are 'unconditional'..  expectation(s)/dedication/attention/honesty/sincere and faithful  patience.  Parenting has very little to do with material wealth/possessions but purely/abundantly built on faith/trust.. understood commonly by the common, as the naturally inclining cultivated aura/delight within self to be a parent. After all a child only need/expect from their parent(s)/synthesizer(s) these basic requirements/essentials namely, protection/nourishment/upbringing for roughly about 15% of their livelihood, assuming an average individual can survive unto 70 years, under present evolved physical/mental/developed technological circumstances. 
Thus one end up seeing/observing parent(s) aping/reflecting four distinct animal characteristic personalities/traits, which we can easily associate to/at various developmental stages of their parenthood,namely the monkey(1-5 years)/horse(5-10 years)/donkey(10-22 years)/dog(22 years and above) and interestingly their children will be imitating/portraying the reverse nature of this cycle to their relative point in age/time. The byproduct of all the labor/care given is 'sometimes' reciprocated as gratitude/gestures of honorary courtesy/materiel support, in desperate/lonely hours of need(s)/want(s).The rest are all abstract sweet/bitter.. memories/ lessons,which are left behind depending on the quality of their instilled virtue.Thus the mega serial theatrics of/on paRenting can be very much  visualized/observed to the relationShip between a tenant/land lord within naturE
