Setting Ground Rules for My Future Child: Lessons from My Own Childhood

As I think about the kind of parent I want to be, I’ve started making a list of rules for my future child. Growing up, my parents had clear boundaries—like always being honest, respecting others, and making time for family meals. I want to pass on similar values, but with my own twist. For example, I’ll encourage open conversations about feelings and make sure my child knows it’s okay to make mistakes. I hope these rules will help them grow into a kind, confident person.
