Parenting Styles and Approaches
What role does communication play in parenting styles?
Communication is the bridge that connects your heart to your child’s world. Whether your style leans more authoritative or permissive, how you talk and listen matters enormously. Open, honest, and age-appropriate conversations build trust, help children understand expectations, and encourage them to share their feelings. Good communication also models problem-solving and empathy, key skills for life. When you make space for dialogue, you invite connection and cooperation, turning parenting moments into opportunities for growth and understanding.
