INTRODUCTION
There are 7 Important tips which pertaining to What does it take to
be a good parent?
1. Common mistakes of many parents today
2. Practicing affectionate assertiveness
3. Work as a unified team
4. Don't let the media win as rivals for your children's minds and
hearts.
5. Cultivate a sense of personal and family honor.

1.Common mistakes of many parents

today
Don't make the common mistakes of many parents today such as
seeing discipline mostly as punishment and seeing its end as mere
cooperative behaviour, effective child domestication, peace and quiet
at home. Discipline is actually the process of leading children toward
responsible adulthood.

2. Practicing affectionate assertiveness

They need to learn from mistakes, and they need to grow in
confidence from pitting their powers against problems.
From time to time, they need to hear from you: You can do it. Keep
trying. Don't give up. Children who are directed in youth grow to
respect and trust their parents' judgment, and they turn to parents
later, even in adolescence, for guidance and sound advice.

3. Work as a unified team

The children notice everything, and they learn by example. Bear in
mind that children's respect toward each parent will mirror the
attitudes of the other parent. When a husband respects his wife, the
children respect their mother. When a wife esteems her husband, the
children quietly see him as a hero.

4. Don't let the media win as rivals for your

children's minds and hearts.
By doing media under control leads to enrichment of family life such
as more reading, more conversation, more leisurely meals together,
more family solidarity,
More respect for the parents' leadership. Therefore, Use television in
the same way that you use video game.
This will eventually enhances family life, is of good quality, is used in
moderation, and is under parental supervision.

5. Cultivate a sense of personal and family

honor.
The next point I would like to highlight
is to teach children habitual courtesy, good manners toward
everyone. That is, teach them habitual considerateness for the rights
and sensibilities of everyone.
Work to build within them the four great pillars of civilized adulthood
such as please, thank you, I'm sorry, and I give my word of
respect. These are not just pleasant decorations to our speech.
They will be hoping to reflect the inner values of responsible,
considerate, self-disciplined adults.

6. Teach children habitual courtesy, good

manners toward everyone.
What are good manners anyway? Most people would be able to recite the standard
please and thank you, but fall short after that. What more is there to know? Here is a
short list of manners you can review with your child:
* Be nice to people.
* Say Please when you ask for something.
* Say Thank You when you are given something.
* Say Youre Welcome when someone thanks you.
* Greet people when you see them.
* Look people in the eyes when you talk to them.
* Talk politely during meals (even in the cafeteria).
* Dont interrupt when other people are talking.
* Share with others.
* Help people.
* Let guests go first.
* Be on time, especially if you are meeting someone.

7. Parents need to bind family life with

religion activities.
Above all, parents need to bind family life with religion activities.
Make clear to the children that you, as parents love them, are also
God love them too. Teach them to love God and also to ask His help
and forgiveness. Lead them to see Him as friend, consoler, the object
of our loving devotion all our lives.
. One of the ways parents can shape their childs behaviour, while still
maintain a positive and true view of Allah is to associate doing well
with Allah. For example, Allah loves those who are good to their
parents or Allah is most pleased with you when you are doing your
homework so you can learn because Allah loves his creation to gain
knowledge through education.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion it is compulsory for parents to educate children so that
they can grow up to become responsible citizens requires that
parents actively maintain an atmosphere at home that is conducive to
positive learning and upbringing. This, therefore, requires that
parents, too, model their lives according to the religious way of life.
