There are many parenting styles, qualities and approaches. Every family has their own ideals and goals when it comes to raising children. Good parenting requires that you choose the right style for your family. It involves the nurturing of children and their growth. You will learn more about which parenting styles are best for you family.
Communication
To foster a healthy relationship with your children and other family members, it is important to communicate effectively. When communicating with your children, be respectful and encouraging while avoiding criticism and admonishment. To show your concern for their feelings, use phrases like "I understand" and "I care." Don't be quick to respond; a child might just be in a developmental stage or frustrated by something that has upset them. Remember to be patient.
Flexibility
Research on temperamental flexibility and child outcomes shows that flexibility can influence the relationship between maternal and fatheral positive parenting. Additionally, children who had lower levels of flexibility were more likely to internalize and externalize symptoms. Children with lower flexibility also reported having more negative parenting experiences. This indicates that flexibility can be a valuable parenting quality. Positive parenting techniques can help improve flexibility and prevent children developing these symptoms.
Leadership
Leaders have many traits in common with their parents. They engage with their employees and instill creativity. If parents use leadership principles, they can emulate the parenting styles of successful leaders within their organizations. Zenger & Folkman recently found that leaders communicate nearly daily with their employees. A leader who is effective shares their values with others is another important aspect. These are all important aspects of parenting. In addition to fostering leadership traits in children, parents can also use leadership principles to improve their relationship with their children.
Intelligence
Parents should work to instill intelligence and social skills in their children. While some parents are naturally intelligent, others can acquire it. Children who have high levels of emotional intelligence and are more successful in school are more likely than their parents to be better students. They also perform better on standardized exams. Children can develop their emotional intelligence and help them to cope with difficulties and have deeper relationships. They will also be better prepared to face challenges that will come their way as adults.
Consequences
Your consequences must reflect your child's behavior. Children learn from consequences what it means to be good. They are not intended to cause harm. Punishments don't change behavior or reinsert your parental authority. You, as a parent should use the consequences to help your child become mature and self-sufficient.
Role model
Children learn their lessons from their parents. The parents play a key role in shaping their children's basic values and futures. Your influence on your child will be greater if you have a healthy relationship with them. Children's peers, in addition to their parents, can have an impact on their behavior and willingness to take risks. Therefore, being a role model helps counter negative peer pressure and encourages children to choose positive role models.

Why do parents choose authoritarian parenting?
For children to develop into healthy adults, they need to have a sense of autonomy and self-determination. Children who aren't allowed to make their own decisions often feel helpless and incapable of managing life. As a result, they may become anxious or depressed.
Parents who are strict and controlling tend to make children feel weak and insecure. This creates feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, and powerlessness. It limits their ability to learn how to cope with problems and challenges.
You can raise happy, confident and resilient kids by allowing them success and failure to happen without fear. Authoritative parenting encourages children take responsibility for their actions.
Children should have the freedom to make choices and be encouraged not only to but also to share their ideas and opinions. Children will be more confident and resilient if they are given choices.
Is it more important to be strict with your child?
I believe you should strive to be a strict mother. It's essential that children learn how behave. But if they aren't behaving well, they must be disciplined.
You must teach them how they should behave. It is not a good idea to allow them to run wild, as they could endanger someone or do wrong.
You will find that being a strict parent is more difficult than being a permissive one. Allowing your children too much freedom will make them rebel against you.
You must give them enough freedom to be able to manage their behavior.
Being a strict mother is not easy, but it's worth the effort.
What is positive parenting?
Positive parenting styles encourage children to become happy, well-adjusted adults through positive and constructive behavior towards others.
They teach children ways to cope with stress and conflicts, manage disappointments, and solve disputes peacefully.
Positive parenting also helps children learn self-discipline and responsibility. It teaches them how to make decisions and solve problems on their own.
It encourages them to take risks and try new things. They learn to work hard, and they succeed in their daily lives.
How can I tell whether my child needs more discipline or less?
Different levels of development mean that children require different amounts and types of discipline.
If your child is very young (under about two years old), then he/she may benefit from being spanked occasionally.
However, if your child is older, he/she may need more structure and guidance.
You should always discuss changes in your child's behavior with your doctor before making any major changes in your parenting style.
