Although becoming a parent is easy, being a good parent is the hardest thing that requires a lot of discipline, patience, devotion and compassion. A mom with three successful sons shared her advice and I completely agree with all of them. Write it down to remind myself:

1. don't compare your child to other children
2. no materials as rewards
3. no timetable/schedule separating fun and study (mix them and ask questions to stir up their curiosity)
4. no after-school classes to improve grades (grades are not the most important things in the world)
5. let them choose
6. let them date during college/high schools (experience love, teach sexual education)
7. don't scold/hit, but explain, make them understand
8. don't lie to them / do what you promise
9. spend time with them
10. don't say "wait a moment" too often or ignore them when you are busy. put away your work or turn of the stove for a moment and respond
