A Good Parent

My daughter and I are having a conversation this morning about being a good parent. I want to know what makes a great parent and I want to hear it from a five year old's perspective...

She says I am a good parent because I give her choices, keep her in my heart while she is in school, and help her when she gets hurt. I ask her what makes a bad parent, and she says, bad parents don't love their kids, they spank them and don't give them toys and when they see a stranger, they tell their kids to go with them!

Whew! I am glad that I am not one of those parents!
