Nowadays parenting comes in many various forms and styles. Analyze them first before you make your final decision on how to bring your child up. Consult a specialist who can help you avoid making mistakes. What parents do is not always right. Here are a few main myths we still believe in.
1. Authoritarian upbringing of kids is the best parenting style
Parents who are looking for the best solution to problems in upbringing their children might still believe that the authoritarian style can be the only way to deal with issues. Unfortunately, this style does more harm than good. Being grown in a strict family is psychologically very difficult. Your child will never feel loved or happy if he is supposed to follow dozens of rules. A kid cannot meet strict requirements set by adults. Obedience may sometimes come from fear, which is another bad thing.
2. Kids should be grown up in a full family
Two-parent families are not always happy. Being grown by both mom and dad is nice only if both parents agree with each other, love their kids and feel happy. There are too many unhappy couples who are trying to bring kids up. They usually fail to make their children happy since they do not know what is needed. You will never make your child happy unless you know what happiness is.
