Parenting Styles: Optimistic, Pessimistic or Realistic?
Category: Parenting -
General
...I try to find a balance between my natural
optimism and natural pessimism about human nature.
Whenever possible, I try to be optimistic and make it
clear to my children that I anticipate the positive.
Children thrive on the positive. I resist pessimism,
but I know that my children won’t always do the right
thing and it is my job to provide them with limits
and guidance...
