Original Sentence:
"Being a good parents is a very challenging responsibility because it not just taking care of a child’s needs, but it also involved understanding and good guidance."

🔹 Missing verb "is" and awkward phrasing. "Just about taking care" is more natural. -
"it also involved" → "it also involves"
🔹 Wrong tense. Use "involves" (present) to match "is."
Original Sentence:
"I believe that good parents will guide their children to get a good future."
Correction:
-
Technically okay, but more natural phrasing:
"I believe that good parents will guide their children towards a better future."

Title: The Importance of Good Parenting in Shaping a Child’s Future
Introduction
Being a good parent is a highly demanding responsibility, as it involves more than merely attending to a child’s basic needs. It also requires understanding, patience, and the ability to provide consistent guidance. I believe that responsible parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s future by offering support and direction. Key characteristics of effective parenting include being loving, attentive, and accountable. In this essay, I will discuss examples of well-known individuals who have demonstrated strong parenting skills and highlight what we can learn from them.
Body Paragraph 1
One inspiring example of a good parent is Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the United States. Despite her demanding public life, she always prioritised her daughters, Malia and Sasha. Michelle ensured they had a stable routine, proper education, and privacy to grow up away from excessive media attention. She once said, "My most important title is 'mom'." Her balanced approach between work and family shows that good parenting includes being present and setting clear values at home. Her actions show that nurturing emotional well-being is just as important as academic success.
Body Paragraph 2
Another admirable figure is Malaysian actress and entrepreneur Noor Neelofa. Although she is constantly in the spotlight, she has made it clear that her role as a mother is her priority. She often shares her journey in learning about parenting through reading, seeking advice from professionals, and surrounding her child with strong Islamic values. Neelofa proves that modern parents can balance faith, career, and family responsibilities with grace. Her efforts show that good parenting also involves lifelong learning and self-improvement.
Body Paragraph 3
Similarly, David Beckham, the famous English footballer, is well known not just for his sports achievements but also for being a devoted father to his four children. He frequently expresses love and support for his kids on social media and is involved in their daily lives, from school events to personal interests. Beckham’s parenting style shows the importance of active involvement from both parents. His example reminds us that being a good father means more than just providing financially—it also includes emotional availability and active participation.
Conclusion
In conclusion, parenting is a long-term commitment that demands love, time, and wisdom. The examples of Michelle Obama, Noor Neelofa, and David Beckham prove that good parenting is possible regardless of fame or busy schedules. To improve parenting skills, it is important for parents to attend workshops, read reliable resources, and seek support from experienced individuals. By doing so, they can better understand their children’s needs and build stronger family relationships. A nation’s future depends on the values passed down by its parents—so it is vital to get it right.

Title: The Importance of Good Parenting in Shaping a Child’s Future
Introduction
Being a good parent is a highly demanding responsibility as it involves more than merely attending to a child’s basic needs. It also requires understanding, patience and the ability to provide consistent guidance. I believe that responsible parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s future by offering support and direction. Key characteristics of effective parenting include being loving, attentive and accountable. In this essay I will discuss these three qualities using real-life examples of public figures who demonstrate strong parenting values.
Body Paragraph 1
Being loving is one of the most essential traits of a good parent. Love creates a safe emotional space for children to grow with confidence. A clear example is Michelle Obama who consistently showed affection and care toward her daughters despite the demands of her role as First Lady of the United States. She made time to be present in their daily lives and taught them to stay grounded. Her statement "My most important title is 'mum'" reflects her deep commitment to motherhood. Michelle's example shows how love builds the foundation of a child’s self-worth and values.
Body Paragraph 2
Good parents are also attentive to their children's needs and development. This means being aware of their emotions education and overall well-being. Malaysian actress and entrepreneur Noor Neelofa provides an excellent example. Although she has a busy public life she often shares how she learns about parenting through reading and consulting experts. She prioritises her child’s growth by instilling strong spiritual and moral values from a young age. Neelofa’s approach reflects how attentiveness leads to mindful and purposeful parenting.
Body Paragraph 3
Being accountable is another key quality of effective parenting. It means taking full responsibility for a child’s upbringing and being actively involved in their growth. David Beckham the well-known English footballer demonstrates this clearly. Despite his fame he participates in his children’s lives by attending school events supporting their interests and maintaining close relationships with them. His actions prove that accountability goes beyond financial support and includes being emotionally available and dependable at all times.
Conclusion
In conclusion good parenting requires love attention and accountability. These qualities are shown clearly in the lives of Michelle Obama Noor Neelofa and David Beckham. Parents who aim to improve their skills should take part in parenting courses read from reliable sources and seek guidance from experienced individuals. By doing so they can understand their children better and raise them to be balanced and responsible citizens. As the proverb wisely says children are not things to be moulded but people to be unfolded.

She also teaches her child strong values from her religion. Neelofa shows that paying close attention to children helps them grow in the right way.
