There are principles, and I think that love, limits, and latitude are solid principles to apply to our parenting. I stayed on my knees while raising my children. Authoritative parenting takes time, patience, creativity, faith, and inspiration. No parent handles every situation perfectly. When we fall short as parents, we need to apologize to our children and try to do better. Despite the challenges, we need to take comfort in knowing that the good things we try to do as parents really do matter. we just want what's best for our children. I learned as a parent sometimes they have to make mistakes to learn from them. We can't always save them. Children are no different from adults in wanting to be involved in making the decisions that affect them.Children do best when both parents take care of them regularly. They need you both to be sensitive, caring, and prepared to take care of them.
