Parenting style is about much more than what you say or do to your child.

As you become more effective in communicating and encouraging your child to express her feelings, you can also be more successful in teaching your child how to express them to others.

The following is a list of parenting style principles that can be helpful in helping you communicate effectively with your child and teach her to express herself to others: Parenting styles are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

If your child expresses a negative feeling, don’t assume that he or she is being passive.

If you want to teach your child a lesson, you need to be there to support and guide her through this time.

Encourage your child’s ability to speak out.

When your child makes a mistake or a misstep, tell her to be brave and not be afraid to say something.

Be there for her.

Be supportive of your child when she feels her feelings are hurt.

Listen to her.

If she wants to express a concern, share it with her.

You don’t need to say anything, just listen to her and make an effort to listen to what she is saying.

Encouraging your child is more than just being polite.

You are teaching your daughter that you value her feelings.

You will also be supporting her through the time she is feeling hurt.

You need to give her a space to express what she needs to hear.

Parents need to have a dialogue, not a confrontation.

When it comes to conflict, it’s best to let your child know that you are open to hearing their concerns.

However, don�t give in to her demands and then force her to change.

Listen for cues.

When you hear a certain sound, look for signs of tension.

Take her cues and try to work out a plan of action.

This way, you are not just saying, �Don�t you dare make me uncomfortable!� Instead, you have a plan that includes a response that you can back up with a firm statement.

Be aware of the emotions your child feels.

When she feels frustrated, she may be acting out of anger.

You may want to offer encouragement and comfort, but it’s important to understand that this can lead to a sense of resentment.

Be open to what your child wants.

Don�t be afraid that your child may not be able to talk her way out of this.

The best way to give your child the space she needs is to give the information that she needs.

If a response doesn�t seem acceptable, then don�’t give in.

Your child will continue to express emotions in ways that are acceptable to her, but you can help her to talk about her feelings with her friends, family, and the rest of the community.

Make your child comfortable with your presence.

When a parent or guardian is present, it allows her or him to help make sure that the family stays together.

Encounters are good, but parents need to make it a priority to make sure they are having fun and enjoying each other�s company.

Encountering your child can be one of the most rewarding parts of a parent-child relationship.

When the parents are having a good time together, it�s great to see each other enjoying themselves and feeling good about themselves.
