Benefits of positive parenting 

Parenting is not binary in life. It doesn’t follow a linear line all the time. Many times, parents have to play a major role to establish a stronger parent-child relationship. Parents show respect to the child’s decision and expect respect in return. Thus, it can build a trustful bonding between child and parent.

When parent follows authoritarian parenting, children often grow with lower self-esteem and confidence. Because authoritative parenting is more likely to have mental instability such as depression. But positive parenting is a better choice if you want a better lifelong outcome.

As the children learn how to decide on positive parenting, it opens a greater opportunity for the children to become leaders in the future. Because children are coached instead of being forced to comply with any task. They can practice their likings and get the opportunity to nourish their passion. They may have more space to explore their hobby which ultimately opens the door of innovation and creativity for the children.

Positive parenting in daily life

Positive parenting is more involved and creative. It wants to understand the child’s preference and move accordingly. It doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach like authoritarian parenting. Children are encouraged to participate in constructive discussion and keep the door open for logical debate. Instead of yelling, threatening, and punishing this type of parenting promote mutual understanding, formative discussion, and respecting each other.

Parents can practice this type of parenting in daily life. For example, while arranging a family dinner they can explain to a toddler where should sit and how to behave. Parents need to talk with their children to avoid any misunderstanding. Similarly, before going for a family long trip, the parent has to consult with their child about spending the idle time of this trip and how every person should act in the car.
