Three types of parents

It is universally true that all parents in the world love their children .However , as parents' views of life vary ,they show their love in different ways .Generally speaking ,parents can be classified into three types,the monarch¹ type , the servant type, and the friend type according to their different ways of showing their love for their children .

The monarch type of parents are intolerant , antocratic, and selfcentered .They lay down regulations in the family for their children to observe .Furthermore, they insist that their children should act upon them without question . When their authority is challenged ,they become infuriated. With a firm belief in their own philosophy of life ,they hv\ave litter respect for others' opinions, least of all, their children's. The sentence they say most frequently to their children is, "You should do this."

Contrary to the monarch-type parents, the servant-type parents revolve² around their children all the time . they are soft ,good-nature ,and easy-going. They never deny their children any wish ,and cheerful run to buy anything their children ask for .They are happy so long as their children are content .With the sincere belief that love means sacrifice, they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake .With their children at the center of their lives , they always ask" what else can we do for you?"

The friends-type parents ,as the term implies, treat their children as friends .They are generous and wise.Like good friends ,they disscuss with their children the lastest news,share their children's interests,and listen attentively³ to their children's expression of emotion ,whether it is anger ,fear ,joy or sorrow.They have an intimate relationship with their children while adhering to their prinicipled stand. They discuss problems with their children rather than provide ready solutions.They respect their children as their equals. They often say ,"Let's put our heads toghter and see wi\hat we can do"

There is no doubt that children welcome the third type of parents, for a free, friendly ,and sympathetic atomosphere at home is most favorable to the development of youngsters both in body and in mind .All parents should re-examine and change some of their ways of showing their love if they want their children to grow up happily and healthily.
