What is a Good and Effective Parenting?

It reminds me of the extract of letter, which was written by Abraham Lincoln to the Headmaster of the school where his son was studying.

”And we think are we”

"He will have to learn, I know, that all men just, all men are not true. But teach him also that in every scoundrel there is a hero; that for every selfish politician there is a dedicated leader.

Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend.

Teach him that a dollar earned is of far more value than a five found.

Teach him to learn to loose and also to enjoy winning. Steer him away from envy, if you can.

Teach him the secret of quiet laughter.

Teach him the wonder of books; but also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hillside.

In school teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.

Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong.

Teach him to be gentle with gentle people, and to be tough with tough.

“Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today”.
