To Be a Good Parent To be a good parent, you need to know when to let go of your child’s hand as they grow. When a child builds their own life, parents are like the water mixed with cement. If parents stay until the end, constantly helping and interfering, the child might struggle to build their life properly. The water in the cement must evaporate at the right time for the bricks to bond firmly, forming a solid wall and a complete house.
It’s not just about children. This applies to all relationships. We must wisely draw boundaries to allow others to stand on their own. Recognize the right time to step back, just as birds push their young out of the nest. Trust and believe in them. That’s the role of a good parent.
