What’s Your Parenting Style?

Beliefs and attitudes towards raising a child make up a parenting style.

Beliefs and attitudes towards raising a child make up a parenting style. How high parents’ expectations are, how responsive and nurturing parents are, how much freedom children are allowed, define a style. Since a parenting style is not something we choose, but a result of our own awareness, our own history, capacity and values, distinguishing your own style will help improve your parenting. To quickly assess each parenting style we have rated them based on the four simple descriptors mentioned.

PERMISSIVE PARENTING: SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

April 13, 2017

Mostly described as indulgent and non-directive, this parenting style may be a choice for people who grew up without structure and limits themselves. Others that may fall right into this parenting style are children of authoritarian parenting, who try to compensate for what they deem as their parents’ failures by not setting limits nor behavioral expectations and indulging their children’s every whim.

POSITIVE DISCIPLINE PARENTING: JUST STAY POSITIVE!

April 13, 2017

Encouraging good behavior is the proven and most positive approach to behavior management. Behavioral issues can come up as a result of many different factors; dealing with them under a positive, instructive and constructive light will help in the child’s development, stimulate his reasoning ability and grow his self-esteem.

ACTIVE LISTENING PARENTING: YOU'LL NEED MORE THAN ALL EARS

April 13, 2017

The first form of communication with children is listening to them. It starts with crying for food, a diaper or sleep. Listening to your children’s needs and trying to understand their cries for help, should never stop. Once the child learns to speak, parents tend to forget that children are still mostly incapable of communicating properly, especially about ethereal and non-physical matters, such as feelings.

AUTHORATIVE PARENTING: NOT THE AUTHORITARIAN PARENTING STYLE IT SOUNDS LIKE

April 13, 2017

Authoritative Parenting, a very different style from Authoritarian Parenting, is a delicate balance of discipline and nurturing with high expectations that earn trust and freedom. A good recipe for independent, well-balanced children with a strong self-image and little trouble adjusting to new or demanding situations.

AUTHORITARIAN PARENTING: SOMETHING TO RECONSIDER

April 13, 2017

Usually culturally passed on, Authoritarian Parenting is the style of choice for children of toxic parenting. Phrases such as “Because I told you so” are a product of this parenting style. This attitude expects children to adhere to rules without understanding them, usually driven by fear. The only thing children are learning is to respect authority and to follow orders. These children’s minds are not being nurtured.

Curb Your Child : Share The Game!

What Is The Most Effective Way To Improve Child Behavior?

The most effective way to curb children’s behavior is to teach children to manage their own behavior, of course. Teaching children critical thinking and the value of making good choices, will help them make good choices when on their own. It should also launch them into a life of good choices. Choices driven by smart thinking, not fears or emotions. Giving children a chance to cooperate, an opportunity to ask questions, to understand and to be involved in their own education, is the most respect you can give them. Respect builds trust and commitment to agreements.
