A good parent strives to make decisions in the best interest of the child. Neither no parent is perfect nor is a child perfect. A parent should keep this in mind when set an expectation from a child. Set up high standards for ourselves first and then our children second. We have to serve as a role model to them and have to work continuously towards our goal.
