SPEECH : PARENTING TIPS
Good morning to Mr Chairman, ladies and gentlemen. I am Dr Fikri Nasir, a founder of
Brainy Montessori will deliver a speech on the topic ‘Parenting Tips.’ The purpose of my speech
today is to make you realize what does it take to be a good parent. As you know, being a parent
can be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences of your life, but that doesn't mean
it's easy. No matter what age your child or children are, your work is never done. To be a good
parent, you need to know how to make your children feel valued and loved, while teaching them
the difference between right and wrong. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to
create a nurturing environment where your children feel like they can thrive and develop into
confident, independent, and caring adults.
Good parenting helps foster empathy, honesty, self-reliance, self-control, kindness,
cooperation, and cheerfulness, says Steinberg. It also promotes intellectual curiosity, motivation,
and desire to achieve. It helps protect children from developing anxiety, depression, eating
disorders, anti-social behavior, and alcohol and drug abuse."Parenting is one of the most
researched areas in the entire field of social science," says Steinberg, who is a distinguished
professor of psychology at Temple University in Philadelphia. Newman and Grauerholz
“Sociology of Families” states that a good parent raises a well rounded individual who will
become a successful adult. A good parent should provide their children with their earliest forms
of attachment, morality and help them become good adults in their particular society. The bear
necessities of child rearing would be to provide a safe environment, food and clothes. If these
things are provided does that constitute one as a good parent? We live in a world with huge
expectations of parents.
There are many different things that I take into consideration when it comes to parenting.
Parent have many different responsibilities but there are three in particular that I think are very
important. Being a good role model is important, as well as listening to your children and
disciplining them appropriately. If you want to be a good parent you have to put your kids first.
The first responsibility that I think is very important is being a good example for your kids.
Parents are examples for their kids whether they like it or not. My boys watch and copy
everything that I do, and even if I don’t think their listening they are listening. If they see me

finishing school and working a good job that’s what they will expect to do themselves because
that is all that they know. Children are like sponges. I want to show my kids how to be a good
person by being a good person myself. As a parent I want my children to know that they can be
anything they want to be, but at the same time I am controlling their physical and moral
environment so that they can be good people. I want them to be in an environment where they
can develop habits of honesty, generosity, and responsibility.
I think that one of the greatest things that I can do for my kids is to take them seriously and
listen to them. My five year old is constantly showing me everything that he learns and it’s very
easy to tune him out sometimes, but I think its very important not to. It is important to listen
because if you don’t give your kids enough attention they might try and seek it in a negative
way. It is important to listen to your children when they have learned something new or want to
tell you something that they are proud of. Children seek your approval, and that gives them
confidence.
Raising a child can be very difficult. Children learn how to be adults from none other than
adults themselves. Parent needs to be willing to teach their children. In my opinion, there are key
things that a parent needs to do to be a "good" parent. If parent wants their child to do what is
right, I think that they need to set an example by also doing what is right. Children should be
taught how to be responsible, caring, hardworking and patient from watching and learning these
traits from their parents. These are general parenting tips which you can apply in your everyday
life while bringing up the kids.
Loving Your Child
Give your child love and affection. Sometimes the best thing you can give your child is
love and affection. A warm touch or a caring hug can let your child know how much you really
care about him or her. Don't ever overlook how important a physical connection is when it
comes to your child. Tell them you love them every day, no matter how angry at them you may
be. Give lots of hugs and some kisses. Make your children comfortable with love and affection
from birth.
Love them unconditionally; don't force them to be who you think they should be in order to
earn your love. Let them know that you will always love them no matter what.

Unconditional Love is the key to being a good parent. Parents need to love their children no
matter what. If a child doubts a parent's love for them, the parent is not being a good one. Even
when a child is disappointing,.
Parenting also referred to as child rearing is the process of promoting and supporting the
physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.
According to Wikipedia, the most common partaker in parenting is the biological parent or
parents of the child in question, although others may be an older sibling, a grandparent, a legal
guardian, aunt, uncle or other family member or a family friend. Governments and society take a
role as well. In many cases, orphaned or abandoned children receive parental care from non-
parent blood relations. The question at hand however is, what makes a good parent? Being a
parent may be a fulfilling experience to an individual. The aim of parenting is not to be perfect
but to provide your child with the sense of being loved. Expressing love and affection, being a
role model and providing order for your child or children are characteristics of being a good
parent.
Expressing love and affection may come in many forms. This may be through a gentle
cuddle, a little encouragement, appreciation, approval or even a smile. All this can go a long way
to build the confidence and well-being of your child or children. Another way of expressing love
may be through telling your child how much you love them. Doing this on a daily basis leaves
them with reassurance that someone actually cares. Children may be a lot to work with at times
but no matter the situation the words “I Love You” should be emphasized. Giving a lot of hugs
and kisses may also leave them with that feeling of love. Often, parents tend to force a child to
be who they envision them to be order to gain their love. Loving a child unconditionally in spite
of the decisions they make in life can be the best way of expressing love.
Praise your children.
Praising your children is an important part of being a good parent. You want your kids to feel
proud of their accomplishments and good about themselves. If you don't give them the
confidence they need to be out in the world on their own, then they won't feel empowered to be
independent or adventurous. When they do something good, let them know that you've noticed
and that you're very proud of them.
Make a habit of praising your children at least three times as much as you give them
negative feedback. Though it's important to tell your children when they're doing something
wrong, it's also important to help them build a positive sense of self.
5

If they are too young to fully understand, praise them with treats, applause, and lots of love.
Encouraging them for doing everything from using the potty to getting good grades can help
them lead a happy and successful life.
Meanwhile, avoid comparing your children to others, especially siblings.
Each child is individual and unique. Celebrate their differences and instill in each child the
desire to pursue their interests and dreams. Failure to do so may give your child an inferiority
complex, an idea that they can never be good enough in your eyes. If you want to help them
improve their behavior, talk about meeting their goals on their own terms, instead of telling them
to act like their sister or neighbor. This will help them develop a sense of self instead of having
an inferiority complex.
Comparing one child to another can also make one child develop a rivalry with his or her
sibling. You want to nurture a loving relationship between your children, not a competitive one.
Avoid favoritism. Surveys have shown that most parents have favorites, but most children
believe that they are the favorite. If your children are quarreling, don't choose sides, but be fair
and neutral.
Listen to your children
Parent needs to be good listeners. They are sometimes too quick to judge their children's
actions and words that they do not hear them cry for love, attention or help. Parent needs to
listen to their child's feelings and reactions to things. Also, they need to let them have their own
opinions and voice them too. They should look at their child and show them that they are
listening to them. Understanding their point of view and where they are coming from also will
help one to be a good parent. It's important that your communication with your children goes
both ways. You shouldn't just be there to enforce rules, but to listen to your children when they
are having a problem. You have to be able to express interest in your children and involve
yourself in their life. You should create an atmosphere in which your children can come to you
with a problem, however large or small.
You can even set aside a time to talk to your children every day. This can be before
bedtime, at breakfast, or during a walk after school. Treat this time as sacred and avoid checking
your phone or getting distracted. If your child says he has to tell you something, make sure you
take this seriously and drop everything you're doing, or set up a time to talk when you can really
listen.

Make time for your children.
Making time and traditions for your family is another part of being a good parent. True,
many parents do have to work a lot to provide their family with the things they need. Spoiling
children does not mean parents don't need to show love and spend quality time with their kids.
Parents should invest time, not money into their children. Children shouldn't have to ask if they
are important to their parents to know. They should just know. The time a parent puts into their
family and the traditions they have will always be there. Parent should respect their child's
interests and get involved in their life. They should participate in activities that they all can
enjoy. Parent should try out new things that their child likes.
Be careful not to stifle or smother them, however. There's a big difference between
protecting someone and imprisoning them within your too unyielding demands. You want them
to feel like your time together is sacred and special without making them feel like they are
forced to spend time with you. Spend time with each child individually. Try to divide your time
equally if you have more than one child. Listen and respect your child and respect what they
want to do with their life.Set aside a day to go to a park, theme parks, museum or library
depending on their interests. Attend school functions. Do homework with them. Visit their
teacher at open house to get a sense of how they are doing in school.
You may have a hectic work schedule, but you should do everything you can to be there
for the important moments in your children's lives, from their ballet recitals to their high school
graduation. Remember that children grow fast and that they'll be on their own before you know
it. Your boss may or may not remember that you missed that meeting, but your child will most
certainly remember that you didn't attend the play they were in. Though you don't have to drop
everything for your children, you should at least try to be there for the milestones.
If you were too busy to be there for your child's first day of school or another important
milestone, you are liable to regret it for the rest of your life. And you don't want your child to
think of his high school graduation as the time when his mom or dad couldn't show up.
Helping Your Child Build Character
7

Teach your children to be independent. Teach your children that it is okay for them to be
different, and they do not have to follow the crowd. Teach them right from wrong when they are
young, and they will (more often than not) be able to make their own decisions, instead of
listening to or following others. Remember that your child is not an extension of yourself. Your
child is an individual under your care, not a chance for you to relive your life through them.
When your children get old enough to make decisions for themselves, you should encourage
them to choose which extra-curricular activities they want to do or what friends they want to
play with. Unless you think an activity is very dangerous, or a playmate is a very bad influence,
you should let your children figure things out for themselves. A child may have an opposite
disposition, ie: introverted when you are extroverted, for instance, and will not be able to fit into
the pattern and style that you choose, and will make his or her own decisions instead.
They need to learn that their own actions have consequences (good and bad). By doing so, it
helps them to become good decision makers and problem solvers so that they are prepared for
independence and adulthood. Don't routinely do things for your children that they can learn to do
for themselves. While getting them a glass of water before bed is a nice way to make them get to
sleep faster, don't do it so often that they come to expect it.
Lastly discipline is another very important responsibility. The best thing to do is to pick
your battles, because if you are constantly saying “no” your child will tune it out. You also have
to be consistent. For example, you can’t let your child eat candy before dinner one night and
then tell them not to the next night, you will be sending them mixed signals. You have to make
sure that they stick to your rules, and pick you battles wisely. You know the saying “Don’t cry
over spilled milk.”
All in all, parenting is a lot of work, and it’s not easy. There are many responsibilities. Every
child is unique, and needs to be handled differently. You always have to be a good example for
your children. You also need to listen to them as well as discipline them appropriately. To
successfully raise your children it takes a lot of love. Thus, the parenting tips above will help in
forging a great bond with your children. I hope that from today, every parent would love to
know how they can be better parents to their precious children. Good parenting skills will help to
develop a great relationship between you and your children. Good parenting is important in
order to help your children grow into confident and well-adjusted individuals. Thank you for
listening.
