What is Positive Parenting?
Parenting is a full-time job, full of joys, trials, challenges, and triumphs. There is no doubt that parenting can be rewarding and exhausting all at the same time. No parent is perfect.
Parent-child relationships have a powerful effect on a child’s emotional well-being, basic coping and problem-solving abilities, and future capacity for relationships.
Through sensitive, responsive, and predictable care, young children develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
Good parents take their parenting roles seriously, and are empowered to learn and develop their positive parenting skills. They accept responsibility for the total healthy development of their child and act as a positive role model. They mentor and guide their child through childhood to a successful adulthood.
