If I was a mom

If I was a mom I would most likely be an authoritative parent. This meaning I would be highly supportive of my child but also enforce the rules. I’d want to have a strong relationship with my child that contains trust, communication as well as discipline when it’s necessary. I would help guide but not fully control my child in order to get them to succeed in school, at home, or just in life. My parents have always been strict and I wouldn’t want to be like them with my child. Although I was a good kid under their parenting I would be slightly more lenient with mine because I wouldn’t want my child to be as shy and quite as I was as a child. I wasn’t outgoing at all in elementary and middle school. I want to show my kid how to communicate and how to treat others the right way. If for whatever reason my child would have bad behavior I would surely give him/her a consequence. If they’re outstanding or doing well I’d show how proud I am of them. I’d support my child through everything whether it’s during a school game, good grades, good behavior, or even when they don’t do as well as others. I would give my child the love and support that I lacked in my childhood because of how absent my parents were in my life due to their demanding jobs.
