How to Educate a Good and Smart Child

Each couple certainly has different ways to educate children. According to psychologist, Diana Baumrind, parents have three parenting patterns. Which style of parenting Mam and Pap?

Authoritarian
This is a very strict style. Parents set the rules in the hope that their children can follow the rules. If you do not follow the rules, the child will usually be punished.

Parents who follow this style usually do not argue or discuss it first with your child. Children will be withdrawn and may not be able to think for themselves. This is because they are never given a chance to speak and express their opinions.

If this is the style of parenting Mam, try to invite your child to be able to issue ideas and opinions. If your child does not understand why they should be disciplined, try to explain why Mam rules the rules.

Democratic
This nurturing style sets the rules and guidelines for their children, but not authoritarian. Parents are much more open to hearing children's words and understanding their needs. If they break the rules, children will be rebuked in a subtle and non-violent way.

Although monitoring and supervising the behavior of children, parents will not interfere in the child's life for example when looking for friends. New parents will take steps if they feel the child is in danger. This pattern is considered the most ideal and most common style of parenting.

Permissive
Children raised in a permissive style will show a spoiled and disturbing tendency. Children also tend to behave badly if they do not get what they want. This is because parents of this type do not set limits or rules.

Although there are rules, children will usually violate. If this becomes a parenting style of Mam, make a rule that the child must obey and do not give up. Every now and then Mam can give gifts to the little guy if you behave well. This is great for your baby's future when facing "the real world" if not everyone can treat her like Mam.
