Positive parenting styles encourage children to become happy, well-adjusted adults through positive and constructive behavior towards others.
They teach children to manage stress and conflict, deal with disappointment, and resolve conflicts peacefully.

It encourages them to take risks and try new things. They learn to work hard, and they succeed in their daily lives.
Why is it so difficult to parent teenagers?
It's not easy, but you must try to understand them. They need to be allowed to develop and learn on their terms. They are unique and have their own opinions. They are becoming adults. Be patient and understanding.
They will make mistakes sometimes and behave badly. It's part of living. It's not always easy to predict what your children will do next.
Keep your ears open and listen to them when they speak. Don't be too critical of them. Try to see the world from their point of view.
Love them unconditionally, and that's the most important thing. This will help them become better people.
Is gentle parenting good?
It all depends on what you mean when you say "good." If you're referring to the treatment of children, then I would answer yes. However, if you're asking whether it's good for them, I'd have to say no. They need discipline and firmness at times. They won't learn how to behave well if they don't.
Children need to know their limits and have rules. They will not know the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior without them. They will not know how to respect others, and follow their instructions.
I don't know which parenting style is more effective. All three styles are equally effective. It is important to find the best one for you, your family and yourself.

How To
How to be better parents
Good parenting is giving your children love and support. It means being there when your children need you, even if it means staying up until the wee hours or driving them to school on time. Good parenting includes teaching your children how you can help them become independent adults, with strong values, make wise decisions and respect others.
Being a parent can be hard. Sometimes you may feel like you're struggling to keep up with your kids' demands. Every child must learn from their mistakes. If we try to teach our children right and wrong, they will become responsible adults who can understand the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
Parenting means ensuring that your children get enough rest, eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. It also involves spending quality time together, having conversations about their day, listening to your feedback, practicing social skills. You don’t have to do it all, but you can try to set positive examples for your children.
Your job as a parent should be to equip your children to succeed in adulthood. That doesn't mean you won't struggle sometimes; it just means you've done your job well if you can still laugh while crying.
