Go with your gut feeling.
How many times have you found yourself watching your neighbors across the street through the corner of window? Something about them just seems suspicious, and your gut is telling you that you have a criminal or dangerous neighbor. You are no private investigator but you know that you see strange people coming and going at all hours, and his house has been broken into three times in the last month. You find yourself wondering why. Is he a drug dealer?
Your daughter calls from school to ask can she do homework by her friends house because they have a science project and her friend has the better equiptment to get the project done, do you let her go? That's always a touchy and trick scenario, you know her friend so you say yes, never once wondering if you really know her parents. The secret to being a great parent and not just a birth parent is information. You have to know and see dangers before they are even dangers.
If you have ever found yourself in one of these situations, and had an overwhelming urge to find out the truth, you may make a terrific parent. If you have never even gave thought to any of these scenarios you are seriously lacking and are putting your child in harms way unintentionally.
A good parent will snoop through a child's bedroom with no guilt.
A good parent will snoop through cell phone numbers and copy them down just in case.
A good parent will know where their child is at all times, maybe not exactly but generally.
A lot of modern parents think all three of those things are invasions of privacy. They are not good parents. They are friends. kids want friends, kids need parents.
and if you really want to be a good parent, check into every one who is responsible for your children for even minimal lengths of time, teachers, bus drivers, friends parents, coaches, all and everyone. I have went out to the bus and asked the school bus driver for his name and used that information to run a criminal background check. I am a good parent.
