There are many different types of parenting. One of the types of parenting is "Active Parenting" and this type is one of the best ways to raise your children. Communication is key to having a good and healthy relationships. There are five steps that you can do to be an active communicator.
1. Listen actively
2. Respond to Feelings
3. Look for alternatives to issues/ evaluate consequences
4. Offer Encouragement
5. Follow up Later
When you are active and involved in your childrens lives, they will feel greater love and support from you. One of the biggest things that both children and parents long for is the acceptance of each other.
Parenting is for the parents to learn just as much or more than the children. It is a two-way relationship. Many parents think that they deserve respect from children and although children do need to respect parents, (and everyone) children need to be respected too! Heavenly Father sends his children to down to parents and it is such a privilege to raise them.
