FAQ
Which parenting style is most encouraged in modern America?
The traditional family structure is no longer as popular as 50 years ago. This is because families are changing. Parents are less involved in raising their children. They are more interested in spending their time doing other things than with their children. This is called helicopter parenting. This is where parents hover over their children 24 hours a day. They supervise their kids at all times. They ensure that their children are healthy and fit. This type of parenting causes a lot stress for parents and kids. Kids feel like they're missing out on childhood experiences, while parents feel guilty if they aren't around all day long.
This parenting style doesn't teach children how to take good care of themselves. This type of parenting makes them dependent on adults for everything. Instead of teaching independence, parents are teaching dependence. Children learn that success requires adult help. If they fail, then they blame themselves.
Children feel worthless and insignificant as a result. Because they did not live up to their own expectations, they feel like failures. They also lack self-confidence, as they were not taught how they can deal with failure.
Another reason why this type of parenting isn't so popular anymore is that there are fewer two-parent households. It is more difficult for parents to be available to their children when both work. Many parents find themselves raising their children alone.
Today, parents want happy and healthy children. They don't want to worry about their kids getting enough sleep, eating well, or exercising. They want to live their own lives. That's why they hire nannies, tutors, and other caregivers to watch after their kids.
They don't want to micromanage every aspect of their child's life. They don’t want them to make mistakes and think they can do it all the time. They want their children to learn from their mistakes, and then try again.

So you need to pay attention to what makes them happy. Talk to them if they seem unhappy.
If they are unable to respond, offer comfort.
Try to provide a stable environment for your baby. Keep them away from clutter. Get rid of toys and clothes that are not in good condition.
Also, don't leave food out.
Keep in mind that babies can be very sensitive to sounds and smells. Avoid loud noises.
Keep your voice low. Gentle touches are best when you interact with your infant.
Singing to your baby is another way to encourage them.
Be careful not to sing too loud. Your baby will still hear you at night.
Bright colors will be a favorite color for your baby. Brightly colored sheets and blankets are also possible.
You should be cautious about using harsh chemicals to your skin. These could irritate your baby's delicate skin.
Avoid wearing perfume or cologne. The smell could affect your baby's sense of smell.
Last but not least, make sure you give your baby lots and lots of hugs. Babies enjoy physical contact.
This allows them to build trust and security in their relationships.
