You know the best kind of inheritance a parent can give to their children is a consistent few minutes of their time each day.

And that’s what everybody says right?

I mean at this point, it’s too typical of a suggestion. 

Why I say this, well…. It’s because a lot of parents do give all their time to their children, so much so that they become way too controlling and restrictive of their kids.

And that’s one of the worst kinds of upbringing a child is exposed to, as it makes them underconfident, passive-aggressive, and at times rebellious to no cause.

So, I would like to add to the quote, and bear with me because I know you’ll agree when I say that-

The Best Kind Of Inheritance A Parent Can Give To Their Children Is A Consistent, Intentional, and Positive Few Minutes Each Day.

Well, let’s understand what positive parenting is all about. 

What is Positive Parenting/Good Parenting?

Positive parenting is a style of parenting that focuses on building a strong and supportive relationship between parent and child. 

Positive Parenting is based on the idea that children are capable of making positive choices and that parents should provide a safe and nurturing environment that encourages a child’s development. 

Positive parenting involves setting clear expectations, providing rewards and consequences, and using positive discipline methods such as positive reinforcement and redirection. 

Positive parenting also includes teaching children problem-solving skills and helping them to develop a sense of responsibility and self-discipline.

It involves teaching your child values and life skills and helping them to develop into an independent adult.

Good parenting also involves taking responsibility for your own behavior and setting a good example for your children.

Now, mind you, these are not easy to follow on a consistent basis, but then, what you do consistently is what your child will grasp and imitate with you and others.

It’s okay if you fall back at times, there is no need to beat yourself up for it.

The idea is when you realize it, you come back to the following 8 basic good parenting practices.

Let’s take note of these practices, shall we-

1. Setting clear boundaries and expectations

Good parents establish reasonable boundaries and expectations for their children and then consistently enforce them. 

2. Showing unconditional love and acceptance

Good parents demonstrate unconditional love for their children, regardless of their behavior. 

3. Modeling good behavior

Good parents lead by example and demonstrate the behavior they want their children to emulate. 

4. Encouraging independence and self-reliance

Good parents encourage their children to develop their own identities, explore new experiences, and become more independent. 

5. Showing respect and support

Good parents show respect and support for their children, no matter their age, by listening to their feelings and ideas and responding with kindness. 

6. Teaching life skills

Good parents equip their children with the skills they need to succeed in life, such as problem-solving and communication. 

7. Promoting open communication

Good parents foster an atmosphere of open communication, where their children feel comfortable expressing their feelings and opinions. 

8. Encouraging exploration and creativity

Good parents encourage their children to explore their interests and express their creativity in a positive and supportive manner.

Impact of Good Parenting 

Good parenting can have a tremendous positive impact on a child’s life. 

Good parenting teaches children to be responsible, respectful, empathic, and kind. 

Good Parenting sets them up for success in school, work, and relationships. 

Children who experience good parenting are more likely to have higher self-esteem, be more resilient, and have better problem-solving skills. 

They are also more likely to maintain healthy relationships, develop strong moral values, and be more successful in their academic and professional pursuits. 

Good parenting also helps children to be better able to cope and adjust to change, develop self-discipline and respect for themselves and others, and gain a greater understanding of the world around them.

Good parenting also involves teaching children how to manage their emotions and behavior. So, parents should teach their children how to handle difficult emotions, such as anger and frustration, in a healthy way. 

Parents should also model appropriate behavior and help their children develop self-control and impulse control. 

Importance of Parenting Education Today

Parenting education is an important part of helping parents raise healthy, well-adjusted children. 

Parenting education can provide parents with the knowledge and skills they need to create a nurturing and supportive home environment for their children. 

It can help parents understand their children’s developmental needs and provide them with strategies for addressing challenging behaviors. 

Parenting education can also help parents stay informed about current child-rearing practices and trends, so they can make informed decisions about their children’s education and health care. 

There are a variety of parenting education opportunities available, including classes, seminars, and online courses for parents to develop educated parenting skills.

Educated parenting is a parenting style that is based on evidence-based research rather than just relying on traditional methods of parenting. 

It involves using the latest research and scientific findings to better understand how children develop and how to best parent them. 

Educated parenting also involves staying up to date on best practices for parenting and child development, such as communicating effectively with children, setting boundaries, and providing a supportive environment. 

Educated Parenting also involves considering the impact of parenting techniques on a child’s long-term mental and physical health.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would just like to reinforce that- good parenting/positive parenting can help children develop into successful, confident adults. 

Good parenting involves providing love and support, setting boundaries, encouraging independence, and teaching responsibility. 

Parents should strive to build a strong relationship with their children and provide them with a safe and nurturing environment.
