Over the years, parents have become muddled with various approaches on child rearing. There are psychologists and doctors who will tell you one thing, while someone else may tell you another thing. Back to basics parenting may be something to think of when confronting by the large array of self help books on the shelf.

However, times have changed somewhat. Children are now used to watching television every day. They will lie in their room for hours, chatting on social media. In the past, kids were exposed to the outdoors, and there were advantages in this. They were able to socialize with others. There were health benefits. It increased their self esteem and confidence.

Children will watch a lot of television. Often, kids will be unsupervised, watching television which is not appropriate for them. This becomes more of a challenge. The media can influence their lives. This has been proven to be true with the amount of violence that one is exposed to. A lot more children are aggressive and abusive in school.

It is not easy for parents to be disciplined and set these types of rules. However, when one is more laid back in their approach, they will find that kids will begin to rebel. Having rules and regulations means that the child is able to live by a set of morals. They will learn right from wrong. This should be enforced from an early age in their life.

Although there are more challenges that one has to put up with these days, it is also important that one looks at what is more important. In order to include kids into one's life, parents need to look at the way in which they manage their time. It is easy to drift apart and begin to live separate lives. However, a child will no longer see the parent as their role model.

This is something that they will look back on in years to come. They will appreciate the fact that their dad took them camping. They will enjoy the fact that they spent time in the kitchen with their mom baking or doing arts and crafts. Doing something with them in their daily routine will build a strong bond and this leads to a healthy relationship.

When you have a good relationship with your kids, it means you will be able to start them off with a good set of morals early on. They will be able to learn from you instead of learning from their friends. They may pick something up from school, but it is you that they come back to and this is the person that they will look up to.

Having a home that is free from stress, will help a child grow into a healthy adult. Someone who is brought up in a stressful environment will have to deal with a lot of excess emotional baggage later on in life. One will be surprised what simple arguments between parents can do to a child who is trying to develop. It can be hugely traumatic for a child
