FAQ
What example is positive parenting?
Positive parenting teaches children to be positive by setting high standards for themselves and expecting them all to follow them. Positive parenting involves loving and caring for them and supporting them in times of need.
Positive parenting encourages children to choose the best for themselves and not what's easiest or most convenient. This helps children grow into independent adults who are able to decide what they want.
Positive parenting includes having fun together and encouraging children to have fun in their lives.

Which parenting style in America is the most preferred?
The traditional family model is not as popular today as it was 50 years ago because families are changing. It is becoming less common for parents to be involved in the raising of children. They are more interested in spending their time doing other things than with their children. This is helicopter parenting. This is where parents hover over their children 24 hours a day. They make sure they are always watching over their children. They ensure that their children are healthy and fit. This kind of parenting can create a lot of stress both for the kids and their parents. The kids feel like they're missing out, while the parents feel guilty that they're not there every day.
The problem is that this type of parenting doesn't teach kids how to take care of themselves. This kind of parenting encourages children to rely upon adults for everything. Instead of teaching independence parents are teaching dependence. Children learn that success requires adult help. Children learn that if they fail, they can blame themselves.
This can lead to children feeling worthless and inadequate. They believe they are failures because they didn't live up to expectations. They lack self-confidence because they were not taught how to handle failure.
This parenting style is not as popular due to the fact that there are less two-parent households. Parents who work from home can find it difficult to be available for their children if both of them are working. Many parents have to raise their kids by themselves.
Nowadays, parents want their kids to be happy and healthy. They don’t want to worry about whether their kids get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise. They want to be able to concentrate on their lives. They employ tutors, nannies, and other caregivers who will look after their kids.
They don’t want any control over their child’s lives. They don't want children to believe they are perfect and never make mistakes. They want their children to learn from their mistakes, and then try again.
