Back To Basics Parenting And Why It's Important

By Barbara Rogers


Parenting can be a tough job. It is not something that you can read about out of a text book. You don't go to university for something like this, and it is often daunting. It has especially become even tougher because there are so many different theories out there, which is why back to basics parenting is often something that people are looking for these days.

In the past families would sit around the dinner table, and they would have time for one another. They would do something together on the weekends and they would enjoy more quality time together. However, one has a lot of challenges to face, with the likes of technology and the media. Kids are exposed to computers, tablets and cell phones from an early age.

Things that go on in the school have caused chaos among a lot of families. Many parents were not aware of these sorts of scandals as they were growing up. There is the media that they have to deal with as well as technology which plays a key role in a child's life. It can be difficult to find the balance. A parent does not go to university to become a mom or a dad, and this can be a difficult job.

It is not easy for parents to be disciplined and set these types of rules. However, when one is more laid back in their approach, they will find that kids will begin to rebel. Having rules and regulations means that the child is able to live by a set of morals. They will learn right from wrong. This should be enforced from an early age in their life.

Although there are more challenges that one has to put up with these days, it is also important that one looks at what is more important. In order to include kids into one's life, parents need to look at the way in which they manage their time. It is easy to drift apart and begin to live separate lives. However, a child will no longer see the parent as their role model.

This is something that they will look back on in years to come. They will appreciate the fact that their dad took them camping. They will enjoy the fact that they spent time in the kitchen with their mom baking or doing arts and crafts. Doing something with them in their daily routine will build a strong bond and this leads to a healthy relationship.

It only takes a few minutes to read a story to your toddler, but this can increase their development, and at the same time your bond will also grow, and this is obviously important. When you fetch them from school, it is important to talk to them, even if you have had a frustrating day. From time to time, it can be draining, but it will pay off in the long run.

Having a home that is free from stress, will help a child grow into a healthy adult. Someone who is brought up in a stressful environment will have to deal with a lot of excess emotional baggage later on in life. One will be surprised what simple arguments between parents can do to a child who is trying to develop. It can be hugely traumatic for a child
