Parenting is not an easy task; it is a full-time job and responsibility, and what do they say about responsibility? Great responsibility comes great power; yeah, the statement quoted is wrong, but it is right in parenting. Parents have a lot of responsibility and power to exert on their children to keep them on the right track. Exercising powers to subdue children is right but how parents use those powers is wrong. They often get angry at the wrong time, which has caused a lot of trouble lately. So, parenting and childcare are hard to master a skill but once done, you can transform future generations.
What are Cool Parents?
Cool parents are those who interact with their children as friends. They can interact with children as peers because they act as their age's to influence their children's lives. Some kids are ashamed of showing their parents to their friends because they consider them uncool. Try to adapt to current trends, so children don't feel bad about you while introducing you to their friends. Cool parents try to find problems in themselves and avoid them to teach their children by example. To become a cool parent, try to be friendly with your kids. This will positively affect your children and the atmosphere at your home.
What to do Being a Cool Parent?
Have you seen a father-son bond in the park and wondered if you and your son can have something like that too? Have you seen a family enjoying and relaxing together having fun and wondered if your family could do it too? Well, your family can do it too, but parents need to have a cool attitude. Most children do not share their daily routines with their parents, especially fathers, because of their attitude. If you are always angry or have a grumpy attitude at home, this could affect your children. Your children will be afraid to be able to talk to you due to your temper. So, it is important to have a positive and calm attitude to be a cool parent.
If you could look at the daily routines of those parents you admire, you can observe that they have a very friendly atmosphere in their homes—always smiling and sharing their routines with their children.

Step up and become their friends instead of trying to become an authority. A jailor can send inmates to their cells but cannot make them spit information.

Try keeping the house as a house instead of making it jail for them. Cool parents do not want their kids to become adults before age; instead, they become kids to understand their children's lives. It is necessary to become a child to understand your kid and his needs once again. Share your routine with kids and play with them to have a friendly atmosphere at home.
What Should Be Avoided?
Being a parent, there are different things that one should avoid while parenting. A child is a blank paper, and parents are the writers that will fill that blank piece of paper with new words and letters. While interacting with children, avoid using curse words. This practice allows parents to keep their children away from bad words. If your children don't hear such words at home, they will try to avoid them in any circumstances. If they hear them at home, they would consider their regular world and use them at home.
Try avoiding insulting your kids in Infront of others. If your children's friends are around or even their siblings are around, avoid insulting them in such situations. This reduces confidence in your children and creates a bad image of parents in children's eyes. Try to provide equal care for all of your children. If you provide equal care to your children, you won't feel left out and would never outspeak to you. Treating children unequally causes different problems, which can influence different bad habits in the children. Experts advise avoiding such things while parenting.
Conclusion
So, we can conclude that parenting is a hard job; one cannot be doing enough for the children. People often have problems with their children, but in reality, they are losing track of time. Time changes, and to be a cool parent who understands their children's needs, you must understand new trends. Follow new things and raise your children accordingly. The world is not the same as when you were children; your kids don't care that you walked through the dark jungle or a desert to go to school. Things are changing, and parenting must change too.
We all know just how hard parenting can be - we see it firsthand. There are days when kids push our buttons in every which way you can think of, and still do it again the next day. Sometimes, we feel like disowning any kind of regard for them because they are too hard to handle. All parents know that experience; that's why many of them turn into a friend than a parent to their children. That is also why a lot of teens don't talk about their parents with their friends; they dread the embarrassment that would come with it. Being cool is good since you do not have to hold back and make things clear; kids will listen to you even if you tell them not to do this or that because they don't want to hear what you have to say anymore.
