Parents are generous people who sacrifice personal goals and pleasures in favor of caring for their children. Good parents provide resources that their children need in a strategic and judicious manner so their children grow into self-reliant adults with responsibilities, careers and incomes. Parents can guide their children by feeding them the correct food and by selecting the best community, the best peer group and the best schools they can identify and afford.

Human narcissism begins with birth and infants are relentless in their demands. They cry and scream when they are dissatisfied and each infant has no doubt that he or she is the center of the universe. A good parent supports this innate narcissism to build basic warmth and confidence in the child.  As the child matures, the excellent parent guides him or her toward a more social and tolerant attitude towards others. The excellent parent does not threaten or hit a child; conflict is resolved by negotiation, humor and affection. An excellent parent encourages social interaction with other children but is watchful and discriminating about the company the child keeps.

The transformation of narcissistic preoccupation of the young child into a more social and caring older child is critical to the future ability of the child to live a successful and happy life as an adult. 

There are different ideas about child-rearing. The range is from strict authoritarian approaches to nurturing and permissive approaches that encourage self determination and creativity. An excellent parent knows that error is inevitable and all learning involves mistakes. We have assembled information to help you make the best decisions for children in your care.
