'Whatever happened to just being a parent? You know, like it always used to be?'
When people announce their parenting styles, I have to say that I find it a little unnecessary. While I have no issue with the way they raise their kids – their child, their way,I am not sure that it is particularly useful to know.
Free-range parents, on the other hand, like to allow their children greater independence. They do not hover over their children, but have rules and boundaries, unlike helicopter parents who hover and solve their children’s problems for them. She confessed that she had been reading up on parenting and decided that she would like to follow the attachment parenting method, but was finding that she hated co-sleeping and having her baby attached to her all the time.
they often feel a little lost with it all, especially when their ‘style’ doesn’t seem to be working. I also have first-hand experience of this, as I am a mum of twoBefore having my own children, I had a successful career as a nanny where I would be asked by the children’s parents to try and follow certain parenting methods or styles.
Parenting expectations versus parenting reality are rarely the same thing. So, instead of labelling parenting styles, I believe encouraging parents to follow their instincts would be empowering for themselves and their children. From my own experience, this really does work. No two children are the same, including siblings, and so what works with one will not always work with another.
so this doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t reach for outside help when we need it. Asking for help is not a sign of failure, and I am often telling that to stressed parents who see it as a black mark on their parenting CV. There is merit in most parenting styles, but it doesn’t mean we should allow ourselves to be stereotyped as one type of parent or another.
