All parents like their children, but not all of them know how to bring them up properly, for it is much more complicated than giving them love only. I have read some rules about how to bring up a child, and it is the three -"L" theory, to which I cannot agree more: love your child; listen to your child; laugh with your child

Love your child:
Many parents take it for granted that parents should love their children, but there should be more than that - they should know how to love their children. For example, some moms don't want to breast-feed their children, in order to keep the beauty of the breasts. It is wrong. Milk from mom is much better than other kind of milk for the kids.

Sometimes, the children are naughty, and they only get rude attitude from their parents, for the parents don't like naughty kids. Some even set too high standards for the kids, which is even out of the reach of the parents. Thinking about this, and do you still think that most of the parents can offer proper love to their kids? It is not the case. Love them in appropriate ways. This is very important. The kids are not satisfied with only something to eat and something to play. They need the tender and considerate love from their parents.

Listen to your child:
The kids seem nave, and many parents think that their kids haven't the ability to think and judge something important by themselves. So, the parents usually demand the kids to do something, instead of listening to them to know what they think about it. It is quite necessary for the parents to listen to their kids. Also, the kids want to tell their parents what they think of something, and they want their parents to listen to them. Therefore, you should try to know their ideas: listen to them.

Laugh with your child:
We all say that the children have nothing to worrying, and their laughter is so genuine. We are usually touched by their smiles. This is the gift from God to the parents. So, the parents should laugh with their kids and enjoy the time with them. Their smiles are the sunshine in life, and they are priceless treasure.

There are many more rules to bring up a child, but I think that if you can follow the above mentioned, you can be a successful parent.
