The 3 Types Of Parenting Styles

PARENTS PROVIDES SO MANY CHALLENGES IN TODAY'S RELATIONSHIP REBOOT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT STYLES OF PARENTING AND HOW PARENTS SURVIVE

JOINING US IS OUR RELATIONSHIP GURU YOU BROUGHT A SPECIAL GUEST WITH YOU GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE LET'S START WITH THE CONCEPT OF GOOD ENOUGH PARENTING I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THIS

IT IS FASCINATING DONALD WINECOT WAS A PSYCHIATRIST IN THE 50s HE HAD AN ATTACHMENT THEORY UNDERSTANDING HOW BABIES FIRST RELATIONSHIPS WITH ATTACHMENT WE KNOW IT GOES THROUGH THE LIFE SPAN HE CAME UP WITH A CONCEPT OF GOOD ENOUGH MOTHERING

IN THE 50s WE WERE LOOKING AT MOMS IT IS FOR PARENTING, TOO HIS IDEA TO THRIVE IS CHILDREN DON'T NEED PERFECT PARENTS ALL THEY NEED IS A GOOD ENOUGH PARENT I THINK YOU ALL REMEMBER IF YOU HAD A STRICT PARENT OR A MORE RELAXED PARENT
