A Guide To Books On Parenting
Parenting means bringing up a child from infancy to adulthood. Recent
research shows that most of the positive or negative traits apparent in
a young person have their roots in their childhood experience and
upbringing. thus becomes a big concern not only for the parents but
for the educators, social workers, child psychologists and
pediatricians as well.
There are a number of
informative books available on parenting. How to choose the right one
is the question! There are many different theories and patterns
advocated for parenting. Therefore, you will find a large number of
books promoting different theories, practices or patterns.
What
are the different
patterns or theories?
There are
several traditional parenting methods. These include 'preaching' to
teach the child how to behave, trying to correct the child's behavior
through strict monitoring, and raising a child with the 'punishment and
reward' method. Many of these
methods are being practiced even in combination with
modern theories.
Here is a list of different
approaches to parenting:
- parents as a the
facilitator of growth and learning
- the strict parent model
-
through attachment and holistic understanding of your
child.
- giving children the choice to build confidence and
trust
- concentrating on the child's qualities like innate
intelligence, good spirit, etc.
Christian parenting: This
means bringing up a child as per the Biblical principles and teachings.
In
order to decide what
theory will work best for you, it is important to
research. You have to learn and adapt to the principles that are in the
best interest of the child.
Now the next question is
to decide which informative book on
to follow, either authored by an experienced parent or
a subject expert.
There are different opinions on this issue.
The subject experts are the
pediatricians and child psychologists who may or may not have
sufficient experience. There are some authors who are not the
subject experts, but they have their own experience. With an insight to
look at the subject
deeply and an ability to grasp the various problems arising in in
different situations, these authors analyze the
trials and travails of and suggest some practical and time-trusted
solutions
and methods.
Modern science has unearthed many
myths in parenting. New researches have shown many disadvantages and
flaws of traditional parenting. Advanced studies in pediatrics and
child psychology show the causes of the negative traits in growing
children that go back to some faults or inadequacies of certain
methods.
Books by such subject
experts provide suggestions and solutions for modern-day urban, nuclear
family
in our fast-paced life, which is quite different from
the earlier methods of
that may have been more suitable for earlier slow-paced
life.
It is observed that books by people with a
good
experience are given much more preference by the
buyers. However, subject experts such as Dr. Spock, in an earlier time,
are known to bring out a change in traditional
methods. Any book that is a good combination of
logical, scientific and practical information, down-to-earth
experience, and genuine
method could be the rightful choice for a guide to
books on parenting.
