There are four key roles parents play when raising a child – Laurie Beth Morales
- The Observer – No advice, feedback, or opinions are given here. Your job is to act as a sounding board and nothing more.
- The Consultant – Share your thoughts and perspectives w/out a stake in the outcome. The choice is theirs.
- The Negotiator – Here you need to make an appointment to discuss a deep dive topic. Otherwise, the timing might not be right. Keep it short and sweet.
- The Decision-Maker – There is no compromise here. My word is the final word. For matters of intervention and of a serious nature.

We can approach the importance of compassion through intelligent reasoning. If I help another person then I myself will benefit from that. However, if I harm others, eventually I will be in trouble. If we wish to be truly selfish, then we should be wisely selfish rather than foolishly selfish. Our intelligence can help to adjust our attitude in this respect. If we use it well we can gain insights as to how we can fulfill our own self-interest by leading a compassionate way of life.
