How The Parenting Techniques Of Today Could Have Impacted My ...

Growing up I lived with a family where it was myself and two younger brothers being raised by an absent father and a devoted mother. While our father had little effect in our life away from economical support, my mother dedicated her whole life towards taking care of her children and making sure we had a healthy youth. She did not have the benefit of advanced parenting methods because we grew up in a time where parents were just simply expected to raise their kids on blind luck rather than through the expertise of psychology. My youngest brother and I could easily be described as healthy and happy children, usually appreciating exactly what was given to us and enjoying life most often. Granted there were times of revolution or disobedience but these phases were very short and few between. Seeing the way my brother and I were, a lot of people would hope for the same behavior out of my other brother, while this could not be further from the reality.

While you looked at my family my younger brother will easily fall under the group of aggressive kids. My mother often tells the tale of him rising up as a happy kid just like the rest of us until one day he took my grandfather?s spectacles, snapped them in half, and then laughed about the situation rather than feel regretful.

This began a very long pattern of disobedience and defiance that can even be found in his adult patterns. It is significant to identify that there was no variation in love given and no difference of attention, he just simply behaved in a different way in the most depressing manner possible.

When I was twelve my dad passed away and my mother was forced to begin working which only seemed to worsen the situation. Now free of supervision my brother immediately became attached to harmful influences like smoking, drugs and alcohol, frequently struggling with my mother and eventually bring confusion to our household. It is vital to point out that even with our house in disarray both my youngest brother and I had no variation in individuality and continued to appreciate all our mother had ever done for us. In hindsight I begin to wonder the way things could have been different if my mother had access to the amazing parenting methods that are available to parents today.

I am now a father and have opted to take benefit of the parenting techniques that were not available to my mother in order to help in raising my kids. I have read a variety of unique techniques and have seen that one of the most efficient possibilities seen were developed by Laura Fobler. Through her methods I have found immense insight into the minds of kids. I learned so much about my kids, because I am now capable to be familiar with why my children behave the way they do. Also, I now know how to prevent many conflicts and on top of that, the quality of the relationship between my child and I, improves by the day! Learning about the methods Laura Fobler mentions, I have developed a new method when it comes to raising my children. And we all shall not be happier! If my mother had the opportunity to use these techniques, I am sure my brother?s life would have been completely different. Unluckily, I can't turn back the clock.
