Should we make “Parenting” a taboo?

Funny, right? No, not at all!!

From my own experience, when I scroll my Facebook, about 1000 among 1500 kids of my friend list suffer from numerous family problems which are fully connected to the parenting methods. Since I have been grown up in an amazing family where my parents have never been a typical “Parent” to me, it’s a bit tough for me to digest how other children suffer and go through several mental problems for their family issues. My parents have always been my best friends with whom I can share everything of my life without any hesitation!

So, here I am now! Writing about parenting methods which I experienced in my whole life. Won’t it be good to sharing with others??

Today psychologists recognize that, child psychology is unique and complex, but many differ in terms of the unique perspective they take when approaching development.

Now let’s dig into some good but effective parenting methods: (How to be a Modern Parent)

1.      Instinctive: a good parent never throws the negative things on his or her children which that parent might suffered in their childhood. Parents should work on the points with their previous, basic and instant instincts to treat their children. this might be natural sometimes. But learning from helpful areas and gathering knowledge can help the parents more.

2.      Helicopter: Helicopter parenting gives parents the chance to engage and interact with their little ones as much as possible. This is considered one of the safest parenting of modern life, yet the parents will have to be balanced so that their parenting doesn’t turn into domination; parents should be friendly enough to know and observe their children. Engaging more can help their child to be a good person and this might help to gain more and more trust among parents and children. how? A parent will get to know every single thing about their children and learn where to work on.

3.      Attachment: this is a more innovative option to work on. Having a lot of emotional connections not only help parents to make every complicated work easily done, but also the children will learn to trust their parents to share even small things. This kind of sensitive parents can get to know the mental and emotional state of their children and it can help them to work on properly so that their kids don’t suffer or go through any mental, physical, societal or major issues.
