[quote=Anonymous]Loving your children unconditionally, and making sure they know that you love them. Providing them with their needs as best you can. Accepting them and appreciating them for who they are. Providing reasonable (and reasonably firm) rules and boundaries so that they can feel safe and learn how to behave appropriately. Helping them become independent adults--which means teaching basic life skills, but also letting them struggle and fall and fail sometimes, even though you could have prevented it, so that they learn to pick themselves up. I mostly think that kids are going to be who they are going to be, and the most parents can do is work on the margins to help them be the best version of themselves that they can be. The biggest thing you can do is make sure they know that someone loves them, and believes in them. [/quote]
