Children must feel empowered and able to make their own decisions in order to grow into responsible adults. Children who are not allowed the freedom to make their own decisions can feel helpless and inept when faced with difficult life situations. They may also become anxious and depressed as a result.
The environment created by authoritarian parenting tends to be one where children feel powerless and controlled. This creates feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, and powerlessness. It reduces their ability learn to handle problems and other challenges.
The most effective way to raise happy, confident, and resilient children is by allowing them to experience success and failure without fear. Authoritative parenting encourages children to take responsibility for themselves and their actions.
Children should always be given choices and encouraged to express opinions and ideas freely. By giving children choices, you can help them build confidence and resilience.
Is permissive parenting good?
They don't have to be passive parents, but they should understand that children learn from both the positive and negative experiences. They also have to be willing to accept responsibility for what happens when they don't discipline their kids properly.
They should also be ready to take appropriate action if their child behaves badly.
The best thing you can do as a parent is to set limits and boundaries and then enforce them. Be consistent.
These are the rules to help raise healthy, happy adults who respect others.
