Parenting

Your parenting decisions have a tremendous impact on your child's emotional and social development. Parents model belief systems, moral values, discipline, and manners for their children. Key parenting focus areas include connecting with children, controlling emotions, setting limits, active listening, encouraging healthy emotions, avoiding power struggles, teaching self-discipline, and encouraging play and flow. American parents significantly influence children's social and emotional development through conversation and modeling values. Balance is important: overparenting can diminish children's self-confidence and coping abilities, while underparenting or overly rigid styles lead to poor behavioral outcomes.
