Child Rearing Practices

Relationships between parents/children

Children's development can depend on the relationship between their parents. Children who feel loved are more likely be happy than those who don’t. A love relationship can be primary or secondary and be based on the parents' love or the love of a caretaker. While the main cause of child maltreatment is the loss of love from the primary caregiver, there are other factors that can affect the relationship. Divorce and cultural norms within the family can also impact the child's development.

Styles of parenting

There are many implications that parenting styles have on the development of children. These parenting styles are often influenced either by parents' past experiences or their own religious beliefs. A particular parenting style is more likely to result in children who are positive, self-confident and capable of managing their own emotions. But, it is important to consider other factors before choosing a parenting style.

Time-outs

Time-outs are a popular method to control children's behavior. Arthur Staats created time-outs as a discipline technique that involves removing a child from the activity for a specified period. Although this can be effective in eliminating bad behavior, it can also make a child feel isolated and angry. This is why parents should follow a few guidelines when using this method.

Persuasion

A key part of child rearing practices is persuasiveness. While it is important that limits are set, children respond more positively to parental suggestions if they feel that the behavior will be beneficial to them. Parents should try to influence their children's behavior in a positive and consistent manner.

Reason

Children are raised in many different ways and there are many child rearing practices. Norway is one example. At the age of 1, children can enter state-funded daycare. Japan has a policy that children should be able to work independently early in life. However, Japan values adults being there to supervise them.

Relaxed body language

Relaxed body language in child rearing can prove very useful when working with children. It can help you communicate with your child about what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. You can also use it to help you see how your actions could affect other people. Your child will respond more positively if you can express your emotions and follow your instructions.
