Relationships between parents and children
Children's development can depend on the relationship between their parents. Children who feel loved and cared for are more likely to thrive than those who do not. Love relationships can be primary or secondary, and can be based on either the parent's love or that of a nonparent caregiver. While the main cause of child maltreatment is the loss of love from the primary caregiver, there are other factors that can affect the relationship. Divorce can affect the child’s needs and cultural norms can impact the child’s development.
Styles of parenting
Different parenting styles can have different implications on children's development. These parenting styles are often influenced in part by their experiences with parents and their religious beliefs. Parents who follow a particular parenting style are likely to produce children with positive behavior, strong self-esteem and self-competence. However, other factors should also be considered when adopting a parenting style.
Time-outs
Time-outs have become a very popular way to deal with children's bad behavior. Arthur Staats created time-outs as a discipline technique that involves removing a child from the activity for a specified period. While time-outs can be very effective at reducing bad behavior, they can also cause a child to feel more isolated and angry. This is why parents should follow a few guidelines when using this method.
Persuasion
It is important to use persuasion in child rearing. While it is important for parents to set limits, children will be more open to accepting suggestions from their parents if they feel that the behavior is beneficial to them. Children should feel that their parents are trying to influence them positively and consistently.
Reason
Children are raised in a variety of ways, and child rearing practices vary widely from culture to culture. Norway's children are allowed to enter state-funded daycare from the age of one. Japan's society values adult supervision over children and expects them to be independent in early life.
Relaxed body language
Relaxed body language is a great tool for working with children. It can be a way to communicate with your child about acceptable and unacceptable behavior. It can help you evaluate how your actions may affect others. When you are able to convey your emotion to your child, he or she will be more likely to respond positively to you and comply with your request.
