Critical Thinking Questions
1.What qualities make a person a good parent? A bad parent? Being there when needed, being supportive, giving them all that you can makes you a good parent. Sitting there, doing nothing, ignoring your child’s needs, makes you a bad parent
2.Which parental responsibilities do you think would be the most challenging? Why? Keeping them safe when their older. Because I’m a teenager and I know how I am with my parents. I’ll try to keep them safe but they might lie just so you won’t be as protective over the situation.
