FAQ
Which parenting style do you prefer?
Parents must make sure their children are happy, healthy, and well adjusted.
The key to this is to instill values into them early. Teaching them to respect authority and how to behave towards others is key.
This way, they grow up to become responsible adults who know what they want out of life and have the ability to achieve it.
This means that if your child has problems with school or friends, they will be able to cope better than if you had not taught them these things at such an early age.
How can I tell if my child needs more or less discipline?
Different developmental stages require different amounts of discipline for children.
If your child is very young (under about two years old), then he/she may benefit from being spanked occasionally.
You may find that your older child needs more structure and guidance.
You should always discuss changes in your child's behavior with your doctor before making any major changes in your parenting style.
