i think it’s just silly. people need to get their own ideas about parenting. it is a constant effort, you try different things and learn what you like and dont like by your own experiences. i dont understand why some people parent by things they read in books. is it that they dont have a mind for themselves?
I’m looking for an adoption agency that is open to adoptive parents that are totally open about their vegan diet. Are you a vegan looking to adopt? Are you a vegan who has successfully adopted? I’d like to hear from you! Thanks.
I get the whole “Im big, your small” parenting thing where they tell you what to do. And I am a child and Im average in behavior. My grades are really advanced, but my parents dont seem to care about that. I think they just wanna tell me what to do whether it hurts my feelings or not. I am a kid, but I AM a person too.
why do parents get mad when somebody has an opionion about how to raise their kid?
its like if you have anything at all to say about their parenting, they want to scream at you.
I am a student in taking a child psychology course and I have to conduct a survey, I would really appreciate your help.If you can answer one or all of the questions, that would be great.
Questions:
-What parenting style did your parents use when you where a adolescent? (authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, neglectful)
-Compare and contrast the style that you are using with your adolescent to the one that you experienced when you where an adolescent.
-Why is your style the same or different from that of your parent’s?
I have a cousin who has about 10 parenting books, all about a million pages long, and she read all of them! It never occurred to me to read parenting books. What about you? Did you read parenting books or go 100% by maternal instinct, or somewhere in the middle?
My cousin got accidentally pregnant so I think she felt like she had no idea how to be a parent so read these books.
What benefits whould this have? I am writing a Thesis on getting a program started through the government requiring parents to have a parenting lecture or class during their hospital stay. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks!
I’m not talking about you personally. I’m talking about parents in general as a whole. Do you think parents (even when their children are at a young age) practice foresight? Do you think parents really take that responsibility to heart–almost like a job–and do their best?
Now, I’m talking about you. How do you feel about parenting books in general? What is your main concern as a parent? Do you think the parents who do not take parenting seriously will some day have an effect on your own children?
I’m just curious. I’ve been noticing more and more my own awareness of parenting. I’ve been really nervous (as I’m sure many parents are) about what I do now and the effects it will have on my children later. By all means, I’m confident about my parenting abilities and I’m always trying to improve but it’s so hard to figure out fact from fiction when there are so many “experts” out there.
Do you choose to follow an “expert’s” advice? If so, which one and why?
