In a perfect world, what kind of parent-child relationship would you like to have when you were an adolescent? In a perfect world the parent-child relationship I think I would like to have is one where there is always an open line of communication between parent and child and one where the child could tell the parents anything and feel safe that their parents will be honest and truthful in what they are telling them. Parents should try to be friendly and approachable with their kids but at the same time not be a friend and still be an authority figure. It is hard to do this but it is something all parents and teachers should strive for.
Also in a perfect world parents should let their kids make mistakes and let them learn life lessons from them because it will help them grow as a person and help them to understand how the world works. Unfortunately it is hard to that either because it could cost parents a lot of money in insurance and other things. Parents should also try to teach their kids good core values but do it in a way that isn’t overbearing to a child because if it becomes over bearing then kids will just tune out what their parents are saying and it will be counterproductive. .
