Your Village Podcast, Parenting Beyond Discipline

Parenting style greatly affects our children's motivation and initiative, confidence and self-esteem, and long term happiness and success in relationships. But parenting styles have evolved significantly over the past 100 years. We've even seen rises (and some declines) in newer styles. How do we know what is best for our family and child in the world we live in and the future they need to be ready for? Is there a blend to consider? or should we be trying to stay more within one style? In part I, learn about the classic styles most psychologists still refer to in scientific literature today, the positives and negatives of each and the expected long term outcomes into adulthood. How to pivot or readjust if you've gotten a little off track, like we all do from time to time! Part II will cover the modern styles that have come into popularity in recent decades.
