Parents leave behind two legacies to their children — one is roots, the other, wings. Everything starts with being responsible parents.

Whenever news about a mother is sensationalized or controversial, my readers ask for my reaction. I tell them that I cannot dictate what a parent should or should not do. Like any parent, I made mistakes in the past, learned from them and never repeated them. Now the next question is: “How do you know whether you are being responsible or irresponsible?” How do we teach our children what it means and how to act accordingly? Ellen Schrier on “What Exactly IS A 'Responsible' Parent?” gave me wonderful insights on parenting without being preachy and called upon your better judgment, maternal instinct and being honest about your role as a parent.

It is actually simple. Remember these key phrases. To be responsible means to respond appropriately.
