Psychiatrist practicing for 25 years shares his views and experiences to help new parents and would be parents to sensitize them to the issues of child rearing.
A parenting style is a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in their child rearing. The quality of parenting can be more essential than the quantity of time spent with the child. For instance, a parent can spend an entire afternoon with his or her child, yet the parent may be engaging in a different activity and not demonstrating enough interest towards the child. Parenting styles are the representation of how parents respond and demand to their children. Parenting practices are specific behaviors, while parenting styles represent broader patterns of parenting practices
This is a talk given to third year parents of La Salle Academy, Iligan City, Philippines on October 3, 2009 during their Parent-Child Dialogue Level Day.
