What really makes a good parent?

What does parent education really mean? I have just finished reading a book entitled 'Kids Under Construction' by Ricki D. Pavlu a pastor, who is also a parent. Throughout this book he shares his memories of raising his children and giving hints and tips to new parents and to those who have been in this grand profession for years. It is a great book that to me brought the sacred and secular together for we were all created by the one great parent who we were made in his image. Parents are our first teachers as so was God. Pray!
