AWAKE! MARCH 2013

1. Before you read, look at the picture(s) if any, as well as the title. What do you think the article will be about?

• I think this article is about tips for being a good parent so it gives guidelines or tips that a parent can go, expecting changes in family relationships, especially with the children

5. Read the article and describe what you understand of it in as much detail as possible.

• When you become a father nobody teaches you what you should do only you can get tips on how to do it but nobody will know what you really and truly feel the things you should do them, there are many fears to fail and not be a good parent:
• Make time for you family: sometimes you must sacrifice your time to spend with the people dearest
• Good fathers are good communicators:  Listen calmly without being judgmental, communication is very important in the family, devoting exclusive time to share with family anecdotes and what you do on any given day}
• Give loving discipline and commendation:  Even when you feel frustrated or angry, the discipline you administer should be an expression of loving concern for the long-term welfare of your child. It includes advice, correction, education, and chastisement when needed.
• Love and respect your wife: the most important thing in a relationship is respect for every member of the famnilia for everything to be successful in life
