Many of us often think of the way how our parents treated us in our childhood. Few of us love it that way and few others think it could have been done in a better way. Quite a good number of new parents do not want to repeat the mistakes, they think their parents committed while bringing them up. Some other times, we also look at other parents and their parenting styles and admire the way they treat their kids. We often try to emulate such parenting style. Parenting style differs from parent to parent. Some prefer it disciplinary way and some other are quite liberal with the children. Being a strict disciplinarian all the time fail to provide the desired result and despite we realizing it we stick to the same methodology because of the habit factor.
Our parenting style mostly depends upon the value system of the family. But we should not choose a way that borders on extremism. It should not be too permissive or too punitive. We need to identify and understand parenting style properly so that implementation part gets easier. Before embarking on this discovery, we need to realize that parenting is one of the most demanding and rewarding responsibilities for we humans. Few of us have painful experiences of our own childhood and we try not to repeat the same mistakes committed to us. But whatever the parenting style we faced, the same greatly determines how we are going to behave with our kids.
