Basic Principles Of Positive Parenting

By Erich Park


If you want to try the positive parenting approach to raising your children, this article will have a few tips to help you out. Being a positive parent isn't complicated, but it does take a certain amount of time and effort.

For instance, you're going to take an active interest in the life and activities of your child. Positive parenting also involves maintaining a healthy and open line of communication between you and your child. Below are a few things you can do to become a positive parent.

One challenge that all parents face is to be as consistent as possible with their kids. Naturally, there will be changes in some rules as children get older. There are times flexibility is needed and you need to adjust your approach on certain things. In general, though, whatever rules and standards you implement for your children to follow, you have to be consistent. You also need to make sure that you and your spouse are on the same page regarding the rules. You'll confuse your children if you tell them one thing and your spouse tells them the complete opposite. If other adults, such as babysitters or relatives are involved in the child's life, make sure you make it clear what rules and values you are enforcing so there is consistency.

If you want to practice positive parenting, one of the things you need to do is spend time with your children. You may be busy with work and other responsibilities, but understand that one of your priorities should be to make time for your children. Parents who play with their kids, go places with them and take the time to talk to them every day will form a strong and lasting bond with them. Attend your child's school pays or athletic events. Very often, behavior problems occur when children feel neglected and need attention. Your child's well-being is one of your top priorities so it's important that you make the time to spend some quality time with him or her.

Learning positive parenting skills and applying those skills are things that any parent can do. Positive parenting doesn't require special skills. If you want to practice this parenting approach, you only need to have a willingness to learn. It can be very challenging at times to find enough time to give your child the attention he or she needs. However, keep in mind that children feel a lot more secure when they know that their parents are actively involved in their lives.
