Parenting Styles Bring Up Healthy Children
By Janine Jensenoris
Parenting styles can be as different from each set
of parents as night is to day. It may have to do with
how each parent was reared or it could be environmental
factors that lead to the differing styles.
There is not a text book style that all parents adhere
to. All children are not similar to each other, so why
would parenting be any different? There is a world of
diversity and it is present in parenting.
The Reality Of Parenting In Many Families
In an ideal society, according to parenting books,
a child would be raised by two healthy and loving adults
who would provide not only the basic necessities of
life but would also foster a loving atmosphere for the
child to learn and grow within.
The reality of this is that there are many families
that only have one adult present. It does not mean,
in any way, shape or form, that the child is lacking.
Many single parents find themselves playing both mother
and father or have relatives and friends that assume
some of the more traditional roles.
Gay Parents Adopting Children
Gay parenting has recently come to light with their
ability to adopt children or have surrogate mothers
and fathers. These parenting styles have come under
fire from religious groups for seemingly to embrace
and push a homosexual lifestyle onto the children.
There has been no proof offered that homosexual parents
have a higher instance of children turning to homosexuality
than their heterosexual parent counterparts. The real
issue beneath these parenting styles wars is religion.
It is one set of parents and individuals protesting
another based on beliefs.
Intolerance And Bigotry
Christian parenting styles come under fire many times
by media. There are some groups that advocate strict
Christian upbringing and an almost isolation-like atmosphere
in which the children are raised.
Many groups opposing this type of environment, believe
that the children are raised in an environment in which
intolerance is taught, alongside bigotry towards other
beliefs.
Many Ideas To Bring Up Children
These opinions are just that: opinions. There is no
concrete proof that one parenting styles are superior
to another provided that the children are having their
needs met. There will always be different ideas to review,
on how kids should be brought up.
For every expert giving one bit of advice there will
be another offering contrary advice. Is spanking beneficial?
Is time out a better method of discipline? Are single
parents worse than a couple? Is a heterosexual couple
more stable than a homosexual couple? These are all
questions and ideas that can be found anywhere.
Working Best To Benefit The Children
The most important thing when discussing parenting
styles with other couples, such as in parenting classes,
is to find things that work best in that particular
situation. It is perfectly okay to take a bit of advice
and guidance from a variety of places to fit a household’s
individual makeup and style.
With billions of people in the world and billions of
personal opinions in the end it comes down to what works
best for that particular parent. Right or wrong to someone
else it has to work best for the child regardless of
who or what the parent is.
