Would You Be a Cool Parent?

[chilli]

You Will Be a Cool Parent You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need.
You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law.
While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top.
You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!

yep yep if ever i have children na, dapat cool dad para maging open sila. kasi if they live in fear sa rules mo, then tatago lang nila yung mga probs nila.

good thing that my parents are cool and i had a great childhood.

being cool? as a parent, you have to be cool, you have no choice, otherwise mapapadali ang buhay mo sa kunsumisyon...

pag makukulit ang mga anak ko at umiinit ang ulo ko, iniisip ko na lang na noong bata ako e mas malala pa ako sa mga pinag gagawa ko...it works all the time..

gusto ko din maging "cool" sa paningin ng anak ko. pero sa tingin ko depende din kung responsable o hinde ang bata.

ang mga magulang ko ndi naman super cool pero hinayaan nila kami lumaki ng maayos at ndi sakal sa leeg. ganun din mga biyenan ko. so far ok naman kami magkakapatid. not perfect pero produktibong mamamayan ng ating bansa

pareho tayo. kalaro ko din sa PS2 (NBA Live) and sa PC (Call of Duty). Ka-jamming ko din sa pagaayos ng oto.

yes, definitely minsan lang silang maging bata kaya bigay hilig - 2nd to their studies....but pagdating nila ng teens, i told them na ibang usapan na. di rin kasi pwede masyadong maluwag baka lumaking bastos at balasubas he he... there should be a certain and fixed limit.....we'll talk about it when we get there sabi ko nga

[Honda97]

it depends on what you consider cool. as much as possible, i let my son do what he wants, but there are some things that are non-negotiable. i'm quite hands-on so i hope we become close enough for him to share his thoughts and concerns when the time comes.

agree sir...
Very young pa mga anak ko, 5 and 2. mga pasaway. what can you do, kids will be kids. i talk with my kids a lot. sometimes pasaway ang mga bata dahil may pagkukulang din tayo as parents. simple lang yan... talk to them. eventually they will tell you why they are so kulit. being kulit is fun sometimes he he he.
i teach them to be honest. show as an example to them. encourage an open conversation. as they grow up (in case of my 5-year old) the rule changes. i explain to him na yung rule nya is different sa kapatid nya. then masasabi mo, wow ang sarap pala maging parent. still, i have lots to learn when it come to parenting.

what cool?

cool ka lang pag gabi na wala pa teen daughter mo? cool ka lang pag bumaba grades anak mo? cool ka lang pag nabagsak ni bunso yung newly bought mp4? cool ka lang pag 1 hour na sa phone anak mo?

i hate to be cool!

SHARING IS CARING.....

[v6dreamer]

I'm cool:snow:.
My kid's and I are best of friend and a cool father to theme. I give theme some simple guide line to follow and I'll make sure this must be done. Its not like a dictatorial law since all that rule are been agreed to all of us, we talked, I explained and in return I'll give things what they like's but... never promise before things done.

Only to a certain extent. No matter how we parents try so hard, they will soon evolve.

[safeorigin]

funny, enough, i grew up under the thumb of my parents, according to their whim and will. now that i know, i'd try to be easy on the kids when i do get married.

If being cool means trying to be just like your kids, sure they'll like you but it's never wise to reliquish your authority just to accomodate them. There will be kids who will respond well but for some being one of them is will not be good for them.

Understand that each kid has his or her own personality, idiosyncracies and proclivities. I don't think it's true that kids are born like a blank board and you can program them any which way you like.

I am sweet and cool daddy
