  3. What is Parenting? • Complicated! • Knowing when to back off so child can help self • Knowing what their children are capable of • Knowing what the child needs at each stage of their life • Having reasonable expectations! • Act your age! • Is it something you naturally have or a learned skill?

  4. Parenting Styles • Authoritarian – believe children should obey their parents without question. If children don’t do what they are told, the parent acts quickly and firmly. • Democratic – children have some input into rules and limits. Children have a certain amount of freedom within those rules. • Permissive – Children have a wide range of freedom. Children set their own rules.

  5. What is a parent’s job? • Meet the child’s basic needs • Food, shelter, clothing • Watch over their safety and health • Teach them language • Foster intellectual growth • Teach them to get along with others • Provide opportunities for them to love and be loved

  6. Parent’s job continued… • Nurture the child • Love and support • Encourage and enrich • Guide children to appropriate behavior • Right and wrong • How to share, care about people • The rules of life

  7. Important: Positive Communication • Important to listen to children – shows you respect them and care what they have to say • Use words the child can understand, without talking down to them • Be positive and polite • Give praise and love! • Don’t give to many commands-they’ll tune you out. • Talk about things the child cares about-a picture they drew, favorite toy, etc.

  8. How do I become an effective parent? • Take a class (like child development!) • Have reasonable expectations – knowing about child development will help • Find your parenting style • Read books or articles • Ask for help! • Observe other parents and children

  9. Think, pair, share • Statement from book on p. 86 • “Children need love just as much as they need food to eat and a bed to sleep in.” • Do you agree or disagree? • Why? • Is it hard to measure the results of growing up in a nurturing environment? Why? • What could be the results of living in a depriving/non-nurturing home?
