What is parenting?
Parenting is the process of promoting and supportingthe physical, emotional, social, and intellectual
development of a child from infancy to adulthood.
Being a parent is one of the most fulfilling
experiences a person can have. The most
important thing a parent can give their child,
however, is a sense of being loved.
Parenting refers to the aspects of raising a child
aside from the biological relationship.

he is young
- Teach him how to tell right from
wrong- Consequences for bending the
rules.

helps develop a sense of self-
direction- It is normal for children to push
for autonomy.

day

children get confused.

children

decisions

their parents treat them

courtesies you would give to
anyone else.

How to be a good parent: Its all about
you!
Research has shown that the one thing a person can do
to be a better parent is to focus on developing him or
herself. This is where a person has to start in order to be
a loving, involved mother or father.
We project our critical feelings about ourselves on to
our children.
The ambivalent attitudes we have toward our children
are simply a reflection of the ambivalent attitudes we
have toward ourselves. It is not uncommon for parents
to disown their self-critical attitudes by projecting them
onto their child.
As a result, children begin to see themselves through a
negative filter, which will stay with them throughout
their lives.
