What is Positive Parenting?
Positive Parenting is an approach to parenting based on a deep connection with your child, focusing on the positive, desirable behaviours and separating the child from the action. There have been many definitions given for this style of parenting, including this one below by Seay and colleagues, created after reviewing 120 relevant articles and areas of research.
Positive parenting is the continual relationship of a parent(s) and a child or children that includes caring, teaching, leading, communicating, and providing for the needs of a child consistently and unconditionally.
- Seay et al., 2014, p. 207)
You can be reassured that there is a wealth of scientific evidence supporting the effects of positive parenting on children’s outcomes, including academic success, emotional health and social support amongst other things.
Positive Parenting is NOT being permissive, letting children run the show, forgetting our own needs as parents or using traditional control based methods of parenting.
My Positive Parenting Approach
I am extremely passionate about empowering parents to be the best they can be and to parent in an effective way that leaves them and their children enjoying the journey of parenthood. All too often I come across parents who feel lost, don’t know what to do for the best or are completely burnt out after juggling multiple responsibilities.
I am here to tell you that there is a way to parent your child which leaves your whole family feeling better connected, less anxious and gives proven positive outcomes. I have over 15 years experience working with families and have used my qualifications, my professional knowledge and everything I have learned in practice (included with my own 3 children) to devise a parenting method that aligns with the Positive Parenting principles.
I teach the 6C’s and use this method when working with parents to help them develop a holistic approach to their parenting style, enabling them to transform their Mindsets and commit to changing their habits for the better. I offer a range of services depending on your situation and requirements. I have outlined these below, but if you would like to contact me about a completely bespoke service please email me at oliviaedwardscoach@gmail.com
“Either we spend time meeting our child’s needs in a way that works for us, or we spend time dealing with the behaviours caused by unmet needs. Either way we spend the time’’
