What is positive parenting?
Positive parenting is based on the fact that children have an innate tendency to behave in the right direction. In this context, emphasis is placed on mutual respect and the use of positive ways of discipline.
What is the philosophy?
According to the philosophy of this approach, the goal is to learn the right behaviors for the future instead of reprimanding children for past behaviors.
What are the benefits?
- Less behavioral problems: Exercising discipline in the light of a positive approach helps children develop emotion management skills that are a protective factor for behavioral problems.
- Strengthening of parent-child relationship: Respect and open communication that characterize the model of positive parenting lead to the strengthening of relationships and the change of their dynamics within the family.
- Development of social skills: Children develop problem-solving skills and adapt better to social situations.
Development of self-confidence: Children who don’t hear critical comments, feel more confident about themselves as they receive the message that they are able to achieve everything they want. Even if the result of their effort is not what is expected, they have developed resilience that allows them to maintain a good self-image.
