Positive Parenting

We all start out as children learning from our parents / guardians about their way of life . Becoming a parent is something we should all take very seriously since our children learn about the world through watching our actions . A parent can affect their children in a positive or a negative way depending upon the parenting style used;the environment they choose to raise their children in and the other influences the child is allowed to be around to and learn from . Although some children no matter what type of environment they are in do the totally opposite.The goal of life for nearly everyone comes down to some positive results .This also applies to raising our children which is the most important thing we may ever do . 

What is POSITIVE PARENTING? 

Positive parenting is when you encourage good behaviour in your children by setting a clear set of rules, rewarding good behaviour,good communication and pushing healthy self-esteem within your child .This teaches them what is right from wrong without being too harsh since they do not know anything better . 

Many find it hard to remain positive with the times , though it is not about the times at all . It’s what is in front of you and what you see ? There must be some good ; focus more on that and it will take you a long way . A lot of positive parenting is not as hard as it seems . The most effective way is leading by example . A great positive mental attitude would rub off on all around you . 

When it comes to discipline you will need to look for ways that donor shed negative light on the matter at hand and the correct direction for it to occur .Everyone wants to feel like they are moving in the right direction and children doing so are likely to do their best if they know the way . With them watching carefully it is just as important to handle other matters in a similar way as they are still getting examples that they might follow. 

To sum up in order to be a happy parent we must spend more time with our children , pay more attention to their needs , give them practical knowledge, qualitative education and invest time for creating a cordial and friendly relationship with our children . A parent with positive attitude shall see many more successes and indeed a better start of life for their children.
