Using ONE word, please name a quality of skill you believe a person requires to be a good parent?

Love and patience are probably the most important but I figure respect is important too, this is the word I came up with that covers that and many other situations Smile

Communication

My answer from experience to all problems that arize in relationships of any type.

In my opinion it would be unconditional love. I believe the word "respect" though pretty much covers it all.

I found a site today while being bored at work that I found very useful and it made me realize things that are important for a parent to make sure their child learns as they get older. I think I probably can't post the link in here though eh? Just in case I can't and it's something that anyone would like to read and learn like I did, you can go on google and type "27 Skills Your Child Needs to Know That She’s Not Getting In School".

Here's the link if I can post it:
