Parent Skills Training (PST) can help parents become better communicators, give their children a sense of security, and help them manage challenges positively. The program is designed for six months of twice-weekly sessions with an assessment conducted by the PSB team. PST staff have extensive training for trauma-focused treatments and can use structured observation or formal written measurements in order to get a snapshot into a family’s functioning. This assessment can be done as an individual service or as part of a larger program.
Give your children security
To raise happy, healthy children, it is important to instill a sense safety in your child's life. Children who feel secure in the world are more likely than their parents to be emotionally and self-sufficient adults. As a parent, there are several ways you can provide this feeling for your children. Below I have listed three ways that you can help your children feel secure.
First, be consistent. If you do not enforce your rules, your children may not respect them as much as you do. Your children will feel more secure if you are consistent. They will feel safer if you double-check the door lock. This consistency will show them that you care about them. Even if you don't do anything else, being consistent is a great way to show your children that you care.
Teach your children how to see challenges positively
Positive attitudes are essential for parents. Children will pick up on yours when you are able to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. It helps children to see the positives in challenges rather than dwell on the negative. These are some ways to model a positive attitude for your children and help them stay focused on the goals that you have set. Try to model a positive attitude in your own life.
Encourage children learn from their mistakes. It is normal to fail, which helps children learn problem-solving skills. Talking to your children about failure is a great way of helping them learn from their mistakes. Encourage them to think positively about negative situations and focus on their strengths, not on their failures. Help them to see their strengths and find a way forward if they are not able to overcome difficult situations.
Give them the tools to persevere and develop resilience
Children learn from adults, so it's important to impart valuable values such as perseverance, resilience, and grit. These values are vital for success, and resilience can help kids overcome obstacles and weather them. Inspiring children with stories of resilience and perseverance can help them develop these qualities. This article will explain three ways you can instill the trait in your child. Your child's resilience can be built by modeling the behavior you would like to see in others.
Resilience is the ability to keep trying, no matter what the obstacles may be. Developing resilience and perseverance is a critical life skill that can help children overcome challenges, even when they fail. While some children are naturally resilient and persistent, others need to be taught these skills. Start by exposing your child to difficult situations. This will help develop their resilience skills and perseverance. This will help your child develop self-esteem and reduce stress-related diseases.
Teach them to compromise and negotiate
As a parent, you want your kids to know how to negotiate and compromise. Even though there will be times when you have to confront your children, it is important to listen to their feelings. They will be able to understand other people's views and more likely to compromise. This attitude will allow them to be win-win - that is, they will find solutions that all parties can benefit from.
Negotiating with children is all about giving them a voice. This allows them to feel they can take some control of their own actions. They also learn respect for the authority of their parents. You are more likely to get them to do what you ask. Negotiating with children can help them make better decisions for the future. This helps children to become independent, and it's also a way to remind them that negotiations are not about giving up or agreeing with unreasonable demands.
FAQ
Is it better for a child to have strict parents?
You should be strict with your children. It's essential that children learn how behave. They should also be disciplined if they behave badly.
You must teach them how they should behave. You don't want them running wild and causing harm to others.
You will find that being a strict parent is more difficult than being a permissive one. Allowing your children too much freedom will make them rebel against you.

Is gentle parenting good?
It depends on what you mean by "good." If you are referring to how children are treated, I would say yes. But if you want to know if it is good for them, I will say no. They need discipline and firmness at times. They won't learn how to behave well if they don't.
Children need rules and limits. They will not know the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior without them. They will not be able to respect others or follow instructions.
I don't know which parenting style is more effective. Each one is equally effective. Finding the right one for you and your family is key.
