what are the characteristics of a good parent?

Perhaps, a good balance between responsiveness and control to instill a positive discipline in your kids. It’s easier said than done though… because a predilection towards order can make you authoritarian while if you become overly responsive, you can end up spoiling your kids.

Also, I had a discussion with a friend recently who talked about the importance of psychological autonomy that you need to gradually provide to your kids as they grow up… and how many parents have a hard time differentiating this from behavioral autonomy.

Good parenting is truly multifaceted.
