Motivational talk on Effective Parenting
Dr Rema Raghunandan started her talk with the definition of “Effective Parenting”. It basically means how to raise one’s children into remarkable and socially acceptable adults. It deals with the overall development of children—that is, their physical, mental, emotional, social, and cognitive development. She presented the various parenting styles, such as authoritative, permissive, authoritarian, and uninvolved. She stressed the aptest one — authoritative parenting. In this type of parenting, children will be able to build up self-confidence, decision-making skills, social commitment, independence, responsibility and coping mechanism.
