How To Be A Cool Parent? I Admire Their Parenting Style

Do you admire some parents on the way they do parenting? Because I do!

As a teacher, I encountered only a few parents that I really admire. Most of the parents I've met are busy and are not hands-on when it comes to their children. I'm not against those working parents because I grew up with two career-oriented parents. What I'm saying is that parents should be there during the formative years of their children because that would be their children's foundation.

Back when I was in college, I really admire my philosophy professor. The way he thinks and the way he reason out everything. My classmates and I were the happiest when we discovered that he got married to her girlfriend then, whom we admire for being so gorgeous!

Now, they have two witty sons.

One of the things I love about their parenting style is that they didn't had a baptismal or christening for their children.

They reserve their children's rights to choose their own religion which I find very amusing! In our culture, the religion of the parents is automatically the religion of the children, especially if they are still kids.

The mom sacrificed her career temporarily just so she could take care of their sons. They opted to have them home-schooled first before entering the usual classroom set up, which I find really good. The important values were taught very well to the kids.

I'm friends with them on Facebook and whenever I log in to my account, I always search for their updates regarding their family situations because their posts always make my day.

Sharing with you here some of their random posts that made my day:

Lance, the first born kiddo is defending himself why he's always in a rush - he then said that life is short so might as well do everything in a hurry. That's the same reason why he doesn't want to sleep in the afternoon, I guess he's thinking it's a waste of time hahahaha

I don't know how they teach philosophy to their kids but I really admire their kids' way of thinking. Plus, they taught them to use Filipino instead of English as their mother tongue!

If I were to become a parent in the near future, I also want to use some of their parenting techniques. Of course we don't know what's happening behind the scenes, we were only given a glimpse of their daily lives.

How about you, do you have someone you admire when it comes to parenting? Why?
