FAQ
Is gentle parenting good?
It depends on your definition of "good." If you want to talk about the way children are treated, then yes. However, if asked whether they are happy with the treatment, I would have to say no. They need discipline and firmness at times. They'll never be able to properly behave otherwise.
Children need limits and rules. Without them, children will never know what is acceptable behavior. They will not know how to respect others, and follow their instructions.
I don't know which parenting style is more effective. All three styles work equally well. It is important to find the best one for you, your family and yourself.
Why do some children ignore their parents' instructions?
Children are naturally curious, and they want to learn from other children. They are also naturally inclined to seek out and please adults, as well as avoid punishment. They may not be able to self-discipline themselves if they aren't clear on why they must follow certain rules.
Children must be taught the importance of rules and how they can be broken.
They must also recognize that following rules does no mean they have to surrender their freedom. It just means that they will be safe and happy.
If you can explain it clearly to them, they will understand.
These are some suggestions for how to train your children.
-
Explain to them why they are required to follow these rules.
-
Teach them the importance of consequences.
-
Encourage them to practice self-control
-
Have fun.
-
Don't expect perfection.
-
Encourage them to ask questions.

Encourage effort, not results.
Why is it so difficult to parent teenagers?
Although it's not an easy task, you should try to get to know them. You must allow them the space to grow and to learn on their own. They are special people who have their own ideas and opinions. They are maturing into adults. Be patient and understanding.
They will make errors and sometimes act badly. But remember that this is part of life. You never know what your next move will be.
Be open-minded and attentive to their words. Don't judge their opinions. Try to see the world through their eyes.
Most importantly, unconditionally love them. They will be better people if you love them unconditionally.
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.
You may want to spank your child if your child is younger than two years.
Your child may require more structure and guidance if he/she is older.
Before making major parenting changes, it is important to discuss any changes in the behavior of your child with your doctor.
What is positive parenting style?
Positive parenting styles encourage children to become happy, well-adjusted adults through positive and constructive behavior towards others.
They teach children how to cope with stress and conflict, resolve conflicts peacefully, and deal with disappointment.
Positive parenting can also help children learn self-discipline. They learn how to solve problems and make decisions on their own.
It encourages them try new things and takes risks. They are taught to work hard and achieve success in their lives.
Are teenage years the hardest for parents?
Teenagers are often difficult to manage because they don't always want what you think they should have. They might rebel against the authority of their parents.
Teenagers require guidance and love just like any other age group. Teenagers need to be taught how to make decisions and to take responsibility.
They require time to be left alone, with supervision, but not too much freedom. They should know when to ask for assistance.
Teenagers are often very independent and self sufficient by their nature. But this doesn't mean they don't need your support.
Teens must feel loved by their parents and be taken care of. Teens must look up to their parents as role-models and be able to set good examples.
It is also important for teens to be able to comprehend why certain rules are needed. Teens shouldn't drink or smoke.
Parents need to teach their children how to tell right from wrong. Parents should explain to their children what happens if they violate these rules.
Parents must also demonstrate respect for their children's opinions. Respecting their opinions means listening to them.
This means that you must be open to compromise.
Teens can sometimes become angry and rebellious. This is not always a bad thing. They're actually growing up.
Teens who act out are usually trying to express something deep in their hearts.
They may feel frustrated, confused, or both. Or they may be having trouble coping with life changes.
Listen to your teen. Then try to figure out what's causing his or her behavior.
It's easier to solve problems if you know what they are.
