Real. Care baby post weekend project Aftab Molla-Nejad

I learned that responsible parents need to have knowledge about. Over the weekend I learned that I order to be a responsible parent you need knowledge about quiet a few things such as putting your child's needs before yours, understanding how they behave and what their cries could mean for example by the end of my weekend I could tell the difference between all my babies cries. Another thing I learned that parents need to have knowledge about is how babies need to be treated and handled and how to keep them safe, like for example with babies I learned your not supposed to put pillows blankets or plush toys in their bed. One thing I learned that I think is very important as a responsible parent is the ability to adjust your parenting style, not all children are the same even if they’re siblings for example as a baby I never slept but my brother was the exact opposite and always was sleeping so my parents had to learn to adjust their parenting to fit my brother. I feel like another important thing parents need knowledge about is their own limits as parents, I think the thing about this is parents need to understand while it is important to try your best as a parent you shouldn’t push yourself to far because your not invincible and if you push yourself to much eventually everything will come crashing down in a stressful mess you don’t want to have to deal with. So these are things I learned that parents need knowledge about to make a responsible parent.

I learned that responsible parents need to have these skills. Over my weekend I learned about a lot of skills that responsible parents need to have. The first one is the ability to organize so you can get things done or get sleep one thing my mother told me when I took the baby home is when the baby sleeps you should get sleep to otherwise, you’ll never have energy and most times you put a baby down the minute you go to do something it will probably need something again. Another skill is the ability to stay calm, there were a few times that I just got so frustrated when I couldn’t eat my food or go to the bathroom take a shower or just sleep, without the skill of staying calm I don’t think anyone could take proper care of a baby and stay sane. I think the skill of multi tasking is also very important there where many times over the weekend where I was trying to eat or knit when the baby would need my attention so by the end of the weekend I became really good at things like feeding the baby one handed so I could eat my food to, so I think having the skill of multi tasking is very important for a responsible parent, I also think when it comes to multi tasking there a few things that as a responsible parent you should know not to do like cooking while feeding the baby among other things that could harm the baby, so its important to use your judgement when trying to figure out if its safe to multi task in every situation before you actually do it. I think this skill is important and fits into the other skill and that is the skill to judge situations with your best judgement as a responsible parent you need to be able to judge situations to your best ability to make sure your baby is as safe as possible all the time

I learned that responsible parents need to have these attitudes. I think a responsible parent needs to have a strong confident attitude. Even if its your first baby and you're not actually very confident you need to trick yourself into believing you are confident because if you don’t try to believe in yourself and constantly think you are doing things wrong you will never be able to fully believe you are a capable parent, so I think having confidence in yourself will help you to be a better more responsible parent I think it diffidently helped me when I had the baby because when I was confident, I was able to achieve more. Parents also definitely need a loving attitude in order to make sure your child knows they are loved and in a safe environment but that does not mean you shouldn’t discipline your child; your child needs to be loved and disciplined so they are able to reach their full potential when older, so I think a loving but also strict attitude are vey important as a responsible parent. Acceptance is also an important attitude that parents need to have I believe that if you can't love and accept your child unconditionally then you shouldn’t have kids because they are your flesh and blood, and you need to accept them and love them unconditionally no matter what they do or say or who they become. Its also important to have a good attitude when it comes to letting your kids express themselves in their own way and make sure to instill confidence in them no matter what, so they grow up to be a strong confident individual.

I learned that these personal life situations and circumstances can help a parent to be responsible. I think a lot of the things you experience as a child yourself can help shape you into a responsible parent in the future. For example in my 15 years of life I have experienced a vast variety of life situations already especially when it comes to how I was treated by my parents, like as a child my mom gave me a loving nurturing environment where I was able to be myself and do as I pleased but I was still disciplined and was never aloud to do things that were dangerous or not aloud, but unlike my mom my dad raised me in an environment where I was never told no or disciplined so it caused an odd mix of environment for me to grow up in which resulted in me having a pretty bratty bad attitude most of the time especially when I was told no or not aloud the things I wanted. These circumstances have made me realize that as a parent I need to make sure my kids grow up in an environment like the one my mom raised me in and the one my dad raised me in for them to understand that you don’t always get what you want, and that life isn’t fair but that your parents also love you and support you. I haven’t personally experienced this, but I think living alone an adult is one of those situations that can help you to be a responsible parent because as one person living on your own off just the money you make teaches you how to manage money and that you need to know when you become a parent will you be able to support this child financially with a partner or on your own. I think it also teaches you to develop routines and that will help in the future when you have a new baby or even older kids to establish routines so that life goes by smoother and so your kids understand in the future that those routines helped to make sure they could learn to have an organized simpler life in the future and with their kid if they have any.
