The Importance Of Back To Basics Parenting

By Barbara Rogers


Years and years ago, parents were more traditional in their approach to how they raised their kids. They would follow basic rules and they were able to spend more time with them. This encouraged kids to be more loving, and develop a lot of confidence. Sometimes, moms and dads around the world feel that there is a great need for back to basics parenting.

In the past families would sit around the dinner table, and they would have time for one another. They would do something together on the weekends and they would enjoy more quality time together. However, one has a lot of challenges to face, with the likes of technology and the media. Kids are exposed to computers, tablets and cell phones from an early age.

Children will watch a lot of television. Often, kids will be unsupervised, watching television which is not appropriate for them. This becomes more of a challenge. The media can influence their lives. This has been proven to be true with the amount of violence that one is exposed to. A lot more children are aggressive and abusive in school.

Parents are not always sure how to handle this, since many parents also have busy lives to lead. They will worry about their children, but they will also worry about their finances. They feel that it is important to provide for their future. However, when parents are out all the time, children become neglected. They drift apart and they basically don't have a relationship anymore.

Because of technology and the media, more families are drifting apart these days. Families don't sit around the dinner table and enjoy a meal together. Parents are on the rush and don't have time for their kids. They may not even be able to read them a bed time story. Parents feel that they have to provide for their kids, but giving them attention is probably more important than any material possession.

Children also need to be developing from early on in life, by playing, being creative and listening to stories. Parents need to encourage this. By working with them, children will develop a deeper bond with their parents. It can be a nice idea to spend some time with the child reading a story to them before they go to sleep.

Some parents are tired when they get back from work. The last thing they feel like is giving the child a bath. However, the dad starts to get used to this. He begins to fit this into his routine and it becomes his special time with his son or daughter. One may think of this as a chore, but when you actually start to take the challenge, you will feel rewarded in your life as you build the relationship.

Having a home that is free from stress, will help a child grow into a healthy adult. Someone who is brought up in a stressful environment will have to deal with a lot of excess emotional baggage later on in life. One will be surprised what simple arguments between parents can do to a child who is trying to develop. It can be hugely traumatic for a child
