3. We (Father) need to align who we are and thus the alignment of the new generation will properly followed.
4. It is not a simple job to nurture a 'new men/women', we might feel unprepared but it should not be a big problem because we may learn from time to time.
5. We (father and mother) should not be afraid of making mistake because we are still human, don't be too upset but don't drag it too long. The most important thing is to rectify the mistake and allow them (kids) to see it. This will make them realize that, even an adult may do mistake and do rectification.
6. Don't be too dependence to the external parties regarding parenting advice because you are the expert of your own kids.
