There is a lot of variation across households when it comes to parenting. Cultural backgrounds have a significant impact on how families are formed and how children are raised. Immigration (with various cultural, ethnic, and spiritual ideas), socioeconomic status, and single-parent households are only a few elements that influence distinct parenting methods in families. Every parent has a unique style of interacting with and guiding their children. This relationship establishes a child's morals, principles, and behaviour in general. Various studies have classified parenting styles into three, four, five, or more psychological categories. The content of this article will be limited to four parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Every section takes a different approach to how parents raise their kids. Generally, each parent will fall into one of these groups, with some qualities from another category thrown in for good measure. Circumstances can also influence parenting styles.

Positive parenting practices employed in everyday life are referred to as parenting skills.

1. Appreciation (Praise): This positive statement indicates approval. Praise boosts a child's self-esteem. What we say to children becomes their inner voice, which can either build or tear them down. Praise helps youngsters grow by boosting their self-esteem.

• Praise instructs you on how to act in certain situations. When a behavior is observed, children learn how to work in the way you want them to. Your kid will know your expectations every time you praise that conduct.
• Praise for little achievements will help your youngster stay motivated as they strive toward a greater goal. Suppose you want your child to get ready independently, for example. In that case, positive feedback for little activities like brushing their teeth and putting on his school uniform after a shower will keep him motivated.
• Smiles, back rubs, hugs, kisses, and high fives may make appreciation more special.

2. Reflection: This parenting technique involves repeating and elaborating on the child's words. Reflections show that you are paying attention to your kid. This sends the message, "I hear you and understand you."

• When a youngster's remarks are echoed, the child is rewarded for speaking. Children are more likely to initiate conversations and offer their opinions due to this. When it comes to getting a child to talk, reflections are more effective than questions.
• Reflections aid language development and back-and-forth talks with your child enhance the brain's language center.

3. Imitation: This includes mimicking your child's movements or playing in the same manner as your child. Children feel important when they imitate.

• It enables you to communicate at a child's level. Children are masters of play and will teach you how to play by emulating what they do.
• Imitation is beneficial to social skills. It's a terrific way to practise back-and-forth social exchanges by imitating each other. 

4. Description: It entails summarizing your child's actions. Using descriptive language shows that you are paying attention and are interested in what your child is doing. This is a significant boost to one's self-esteem.

• Children can use descriptions to help them focus and spend more time on an activity. It is an excellent homework aid since it assists young children in learning new vocabulary and concepts such as shapes, sizes, colours, and numbers.

5. Enjoyment: This parenting skill improves the parent-child relationship. While playing and interacting with your child, enjoyment implies expressing warmth and positivity with your words and actions.

• Adding warmth and excitement to the interaction shows your child that you care about them and love spending time with them. Children pick up on and imitate other people's emotions. Your youngster will be more likely to behave positively if you are cheerful. 

6.  Playtime- Children's social, emotional, and cognitive development all benefit from play. In the rush and bustle of daily life, it's easy to forget about playtime. Distraction-free playtime allows you to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with your child. According to some parenting experts, even five minutes of daily playtime might help enhance the parent-child link.

These parenting methods can educate children on social skills, prepare them for school, and assist them in learning to manage their actions and emotions, among other things. To support healthy growth, use these parenting strategies and watch for instances when your child is behaving well. The more you praise and reward positive actions, the more they will flourish and thrive.
