Positive Parenting

Positive Parenting

In college, I studied psychology in particular psychological development. Through my studies, I learned the most beneficial way to raise children. Then I had them, and lost my damn mind!

As a recovering "yeller," and frustration monster, I have been trying to utilize everything I have learned to become an entirely positive parent.

What is positive parenting?

Positive parenting is when a parent who commits to regulating their own emotions, instead of taking them out on their child(ren) and uses connection and coaching to motivate them to control their own feelings and actions.

Um. Yeah, its a work in process.

What are the benefits?

I can already hear some people freaking out over positive parenting. Honestly, it works better than strict parenting raises children harboring resentment and anger. Permissive parenting raises unhappy children who test their parents. In both cases, the child resists the parent's guidance and doesn't internalize self-discipline.

  • Positive parenting raises children who want to behave.
  • It works for toddlers to teens.
  • healthy relationship
  • empathy
  • consideration
  • responsibility

Positive parenting is based on love and growing that love into a deep connection with your children to keep them on the right path. Research shows that children are more open to our guidance when we empathize and resist any temptation to be punitive. That's what helps kids learn consideration and responsibility, and makes for happier kids and parents.

 

Children learn by example, so much of this is self-work to be able to regulate your temper and behavior.

Girls Think of Everything: Stories of Ingenious Inventions by Women have been a favorite it our home. Have you read it?

If you haven't make sure to pick it up from your local library or bookstore. It is an amazing read and you will learn a lot about women who invented some things we take for granted every day.

This week has been filled with snow. It's a new mo This week has been filled with snow. It's a new month and it came with a ton of snow. Been shoveling and schleping for days now. 

We took like 3 days off of book work from our homeschool this week because dealing with the snow and everything else I am responsible for is exhausting and sometimes self-care looks like slacking a bit. 

Dealing with the guilt of slacking a bit is another thing, trying to be in the moment and enjoy these moments with the kids is where it is at. Seeing the smile, and laugh while frolicking in this dreaded snow is where it's at. 

It's all about perspective, so find that perspective that makes you happiest.
