Chapter 3
While understanding different parenting styles is crucial, simply categorizing your approach isn’t sufficient to ensure positive outcomes for children facing behavioral challenges. What’s truly needed is a shift away from “triage reactive parenting”—a style characterized by responding to crises—and toward a more balanced approach that emphasizes praise and positive attention. This concept may feel unfamiliar, but this course aims to initiate your journey toward rethinking your parenting methods.
By first establishing a framework of understanding various parenting styles, we can then explore new strategies that expand your toolkit as a parent. This transition encourages a more proactive, supportive environment that fosters growth and resilience in your child, ultimately leading to healthier interactions and outcomes.
