Describe the skills a person needs to be a good parent. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Parenting is bliss and a huge responsibility for any individual. In every stage of life, in
one
 or another way, everyone is learning the parenting skills from supporting a friend or a family member in the initial time of their parenthood, to be a guardian of younger ones.
Moreover
,
one
 can be proficient in
such
 skill after becoming a parent of his/her own child as he/she must take a greater burden on their shoulders.
However
, I believe that it would be very helpful for every young person to learn parenting during school life, but it would not be mandated for them to learn.
Firstly
, to be a good guardian,
one
 has to have different skills
such
 as caring, companionship, good listening, advising, compatibility and so on. These skills can be learnt from experiences and there are not set modules or school of thoughts that inherent
such
 qualities in
one
’s personality. In spite, schools can be a good medium to teach parenthood as it provides a cohesive environment to grasp and innate the above-mentioned qualities in
one
’s personality.
In addition
, it will break the notions of gender discrimination related to motherhood and not the parenthood. Apart from
this
, many countries have initiated
such
 parenting classes for the children ageing between 15 to 18 years. Japan, being a wonderful example of
such
 initiative, has begun to take practical classes where children are being taught with models, theatre games and group exercises.
This
 has shown a significant improvement in personality skills of
such
 children as they became more responsible, caring, problem solver and a good friend.
Nevertheless
, it has reflected minimal negative connotations from individuals due to mischievous - behaviour, lack of maturity and willingness to take up
such
 kind of learnings.
Thus
, I would conclude
this
 by reconfirming my opinion that learning parenting is good to have in school, but it shall not be mandated. Experience is a great teacher and
one
 can better learn by experiencing it in the course of life and be a good parent.
