I think the tree most important qualities of an ideal parent are: to be affectionate, understanding and influential.

Nowadays there are more and more children who don't get on well with their parents, but I think it is very important to be a good relationship between a child and a parent. The most important thing in the relation of a child and a parent that they can understand each other, to speak about daily and also about personal problems. I think a good parent can talk almost about everything with his/her child. The best is if they are on friendly terms. In this case they don't feel strangerity in the presence of each other. There won't be secrets of the child, he/she will share his/her difficulties with his/her parents and won't be afraid of the consequences. He/she dares to say if he/she has done something bad. It is the primary condition of the honesty. But the bad relation can cause many quarrelling. The child doesn't dare to say about personal problems rather he/she turns to his/her friends. He/she doesn't like being at home, he/she often goes home late because he/she likes to be with his/her friends. At the worst his/her friends can directe his/her to the wrong way. He/she completely becomes alienated from his/her parents and even he/she doesn't listen to them. Their relation become unhappy, but in many cases the parents try to make it better often too late. This bad contact can be prevented if the parents bring up their children to be honest. But a good relation require not only understanding but even require to have influence of the parent. It's no good if a child doesn't respect his/her parents. The parents can order their children if it needs. Don't allow everything to their children, a child have to know what he/she can do and can't do. But at the same time the parents have to be indulgent. I mean they don't be so serious, for example don't beat their children if they have done something bad because usually it is no effective but I don't say that sometimes it doesn't serves them right. I think it is also important that the children address their parents as 'mother' and 'father' and do not call them by their christian names because it doesn't express prestige in the direction of the parents. It is also a great regard for the parent if the child doesn't talk back. The third most important quality of a parent is to be loving. It means that they can lough, speak and cry together with their children. It is important for a child to feel the love of his/her parents. A good parent can always help his/her child at any time, if the child turn to him/her he/she doesn't say that he/she has no time to help or 'I am tired'. For example they play with the children or help them to do the homework and hears the lesson. He/she always interested in the problems of his/her child. Parents can also express their love by touching their children while they are talking or waking up their children with caressing and they tell a tale in the evenings. But it is no good if the parents overdo the love because the child becomes spoiled. For example parents don't present always their child if he/she behaves sensibly or does something well because later the child will always expect the present.

In a word to bring up a child is a very difficult task what parents can do only with patience, understanding and loving.
