Parents and Children

[green1706]

What is the ideal relationship between parents and children? This relationship should be more severe, parents imposing their terms automatically, or should it be a friendship? In the latter case, if the child benefit from parents' indulgence and do something stupid? I know that the situation varies from case to case, but I speak in general. My husband and I get ready to be parents again, we want to adopt for the first time, and therefore we want more opinions. So, what do you think?

I think good communication is one of the most important things in a parent/child relationship, being approachable, open minded and a good listener. Always being supportive of their ideas and encouraging them to follow their passions. Ideally this would give a child self confidence. Also I think teaching a child about the environment and the world they live in would give a sense perspective and humility. Above all though, lots of love, hugs and laughter are all important things in a good parent/child relationship.

All the best with the adoption
