Parenting is not about raising well-behaved kids; it's about raising well-adjusted adults. Politeness and behavior are important, but they do not define good parenting. The focus should be on instilling values, character, self-awareness, and happiness in children. Teaching kids to manage emotions and urges is crucial instead of suppressing them. Parents should guide children through big feelings and mistakes, without adding shame or pressure to conform. The goal is to raise children into good human beings who are capable of handling life challenges and emotions.
