In recent times, where parenting has been a challenge for the majority of parents. Some people suggest training youngsters to be a good
parent
.
This
 essay will discuss, why I believe that
this
 is not the best approach to solve the issue and which skills are essential for parents. First of all, schools are not the place for
this
 discussion, since
this

Furthermore
, schools should be more career-oriented and must focus more on human development.
For instance
, students at a young age would be more anticipated to learn about technological advancements, space exploration and healthcare, since these are the subjects in which youth will aspire to their careers. In the meantime, if they

 receive training for good parenting it will not be able to fit in well. Even though, the upbringing of kids is a significant subject to learn for every person, the best time would be when people are planning for their first kid.
Additionally
, there are various skills required to be a good
parent
.
Firstly
, parents should know how to play 3 different roles in their children's lives which are a friend, a teacher and a
parent
.
Consequently
, they will need to listen to the problems of their child, need to train them and need to secure them with all the negative energy around them.
Secondly
, they should
also
 know how to express love because it is vital for kids' upbringing.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
