The Importance of Sturdy Parenting

Sturdy parenting emphasizes the balance between being nurturing and maintaining authority. This approach contrasts with traditional notions of gentleness, suggesting that strength is essential during challenging moments. The term 'sturdy' resonates more positively, allowing parents to operate from a position of calmness rather than resorting to yelling or reactive behavior. This stability enables children to develop resilience and confidence as they learn to navigate their emotions.
