Why Parenting Styles Matter When Raising Children

@John. T You raised a really good point! I think what is best for the child can be determined by doing some research. It's good for all parents to take the time and learn about the development (emotional, intellectual, social) of children so that they can make informed decisions later on.

Trying to do the best depends on individual differences as well such as the child's temperament. Some children are more observant and others are more active so it's important to adjust the parenting style in order to make the child feel validated and supported. Other individual differences can be disorders or disabilities. That's why it's really important to closely monitor and diagnose children early on.

@ViktorijaT this is really an impressive and well structured response.

Thanks John, I appreciate the compliment!

Thanks @sametcan ,

I think the theory is just in the context of "childhood experiences matter"

We'll we really can't conclude that all parents knew the importance of giving their children the best childhood experience.

@John. T Yeah that's also true. We are raised by our parents/ caregivers and environmental factors obviously.
