What Are Good Parenting Skills?
All would agree that raising children is one of the most difficult
jobs in the world and where one is the least prepared.
Nothing comes close in preparing you for that little demanding
creature that you bring home from the hospital, your life is changed
from that day forward. All would also agree that it is the
most rewarding "jobs" at times and also one of the most frustrating
at times. When evaluating parenting skills, most experts agree how
important it is in a child's development for parents to be
consistent, set limitations and give positive reinforcements
to the child. Their advice tells us to give the child an environment
that breeds self improvement, self worth, and self
esteem. The problems lie in practicing what they teach us.
It's easy to become distracted with day to day stresses
and unfortunately some parents, if not all at times, tend to
bring those frustrations and stresses out in the way they interact
and communicate with their children. Most of us learn our parenting skills from the way we were raised,
our observations and perceptions about our own parents manifest
themselves when we ourselves become the parent. Often times
this can have devastating effects on our lives and the lives of
our children, especially if we were brought up in less than ideal
conditions. For those parents that have had a rough childhood it can become a
vicious cycle IF they don't recognize the pattern and learn
basic skills to correct the situation. Patterns of abuse and
neglect can be stopped if more parents had the foresight to see
the pattern and took the necessary steps to stop the cycle.
Most often parents do not feel like they have anyone to talk to
or that they are predetermined to act that way and nothing can
help them. Fortunately more and more information about parenting
skills programs are available. Resources like the Parenting
Toolbox helps parents gain the necessary knowledge needed
to overcome these adversities. Medical doctors never really stop learning, that's why it's
called "practicing medicine". These same principles should be
applied to parenting, you should never really stop learning
how to be an effective and good parent. Roxanne Jenkins is a mother of two teenage sons - She continues to study and practice effective parenting skills to continually improve her relationship with her children. One of the resources she uses is the Parenting Toolbox Another resources that is geared more toward the parents of teenagers is the Teenage Parenting 101
