FAQ
What parenting style is the most popular in America today?
The traditional family isn't as popular today than it was 50 year ago, because of changes in families. It is becoming less common for parents to be involved in the raising of children. They prefer to spend their time alone, rather than spending time with their children. This is called helicopter parenting. It's when parents hover over their kids 24/7. They are there to supervise them at all costs. They make sure their children eat right, exercise properly, get to sleep at night, and so on. This type of parenting causes a lot stress for parents and kids. Parents feel guilty for not being there all the time, and kids feel they are missing out on their childhood experiences.
The problem is that this type of parenting doesn't teach kids how to take care of themselves. It teaches them to rely on adults for everything. Instead of teaching independence parents are teaching dependence. They show their children that success is dependent on adult help. Children learn that if they fail, they can blame themselves.
This can lead to children feeling worthless and inadequate. They think they are failures, because they didn’t live up the expectations. And since they weren't taught how to deal with failure, they also lack self-confidence.
This parenting style is not as popular due to the fact that there are less two-parent households. If both parents work, it can be difficult for them to be available for their children. Many parents find themselves raising their children alone.
Parents want happy, healthy children. They don't want to worry that their kids are getting enough sleep, exercising, or eating well. They want to put their efforts into their own lives. They employ tutors, nannies, and other caregivers who will look after their kids.
They don't wish to have control over every aspect in their child's lives. They don't want children to believe they are perfect and never make mistakes. They want their kids to learn from mistakes and attempt again.

How to be a good mom
A good mother does her best to understand the needs of her children, even if she doesn't always succeed. She can offer support and love but also discipline and guidance. This article explains how you can become a good mother.
Motherhood is one of the most difficult jobs in life. It takes patience, understanding. Empathy, selflessness, compassion, and, above all, unconditional love. You have to learn to balance your wants and needs with those of your children. You will need to make sacrifices in order to provide what your child needs. You must also accept that you are a parent and that it may be difficult at times, but that they are still yours.
Until your child becomes an adult, you will never know if you're doing the right things. You'll do your best to protect them and teach them honesty and responsibility. You'll work hard to instill values and morals into them, so they don't repeat your mistakes.
As they get older, you will try to help them prepare for adulthood. You'll show them how to manage money wisely and live frugally. You'll encourage them to pursue goals and dreams and to take risks.
However, you will not force them to get married, go to college, or buy a property. You'll let them decide these things for themselves. They'll be guided by you, but they'll make their own decisions.
If you do your work well, it will help to build character and self-esteem. They'll feel secure in their identity, and they will be able to pursue the life they dream of. They'll be thankful to you for giving them the chance of success, no matter what happens.
