Providing guided choices
Give your child a sense of control without abandoning your role. Tip : Offer two options that are acceptable to you. This provides structure while respecting their need for independence. “Would you like to wear the red sweater or the blue one today?”
Remember that the framework is a form of love
A fair framework does not constrain, it supports. Tip : Highlight rules as landmarks to help them feel safe.️ “Rules are not against you, they are there for you.”
“Nurturing the Future: How Positive Parenting Is Related to Children’s Skills and Well-Being” - Institute of Labour Economics, Germany
This study examines the relationship between parenting styles and a wide range of children’s skills and outcomes. Based on data from 5,580 children and their parents, it finds that children raised with positive parenting tend to have higher IQs, greater altruism, openness to new experiences, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. They also exhibit stronger locus of control, self-control, and self-esteem, perform better academically, display more prosocial behavior in daily life, and report higher life satisfaction.
"It’s not fair!"
What this phrase "It’s not fair" hides. When a child says "It’s not fair", it’s not necessarily a selfish claim. It is often a spontaneous expression of frustration, misunderstanding or emotional hurt. Behind "It’s not fair", there is a need for fairness + a desire for recognition + a social comparison (often with other children) + sometimes a feeling of helplessness.
“Parenting styles and externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers: mediation through self-control abilities and emotional management skills” - Frontiers
This study investigates how different parenting styles influence externalizing problem behaviors in preschool children. It highlights that the relationship between parenting and these behaviors is mediated by the child’s self-control abilities and emotional management skills. Positive parenting promotes better self-regulation, which reduces behavioral issues. The findings emphasize the importance of fostering emotional and self-control skills to mitigate externalizing problems in young children.
Clear and caring framework
A clear and caring framework is a reassuring structure: explicit, consistent, and coherent rules + a climate of respect and listening: rules are not imposed rigidly, but set with educational intent and dialogue. The child needs boundaries to feel free inside.
“The effect of positive parenting on adolescent life satisfaction: the mediating role of parent-adolescent attachment” - Frontiers
This study examines how positive parenting influences adolescents' life satisfaction, highlighting the mediating role of parent-adolescent attachment, within the frameworks of family systems and attachment theories.
Don’t be afraid of the word “no”
Say “no” calmly and respectfully to create a safe environment. Tip: Prepare firm and caring key phrases. “It’s not a rejection of you, it’s a no to help you grow.
Authority and authoritarianism
Authority is fairly and clearly framed, while authoritarianism imposes without dialogue. An adult in authority allows the child to feel safe + understand the rules of cohabitation + develop autonomy and moral sense. An authoritarian adult, on the other hand, often generates fear, withdrawal, rebellion or dependence + prevents the student from thinking for themselves + creates a tense and uncooperative classroom or family climate.
Do not entrust the child with what they cannot carry
Some choices or responsibilities exceed their age or skills. Tip: Tell them when you make the decision because it’s your role, and why. “This choice is my responsibility because I am your parent.”
Distinguish between listening and ongoing negotiation
Listening to your child's emotions doesn't mean they have to decide everything. Tip : Rephrase their feelings (“You're disappointed, I understand”) but take on your role as decision-maker when necessary. “I hear you. And I stand by my decision.”
“How to discipline your child the smart and healthy way” - UNICEF
Positive discipline for improved mental and physical well-being and a joyful childhood.
Decision and autonomy
Autonomy is built within a clear framework, not through abandoning landmarks. Decision-making is one of the skills in developing autonomy. When the child makes choices, they build their confidence + learn to think for themselves + gradually take responsibility for their actions + strengthen their sense of responsibility.
“The effect of authoritative parenting style on individual development: A literature review” - Airlangga University
This article reviews existing literature on the effects of authoritative parenting style on individual development. It highlights how this parenting approach—characterized by warmth, responsiveness, and clear boundaries—positively influences children’s emotional, social, and cognitive growth. The review summarizes evidence linking authoritative parenting to higher self-esteem, better academic performance, and improved behavioral outcomes. Overall, the article emphasizes the important role of balanced parenting in fostering healthy development.
