There is not a single correct way of parenting. However, the need of the hour is a love based approach, which includes positive discipline, with calm and assertive parenting. Unfortunately most of the parenting is fear based and most parents resort to shouting, scolding, physical violence, and other forms of intimidation to counter what they perceive as misbehaviour in their children. Even the soft approach which relies on placating is not really love based. It is based on the fear that if children are not permitted to do what they want, they will rebel. Therefore to avoid confrontation, parents become overly permissive. Whatever we fear we manifest. Fear based parenting eventually leads to rebellion. We find an increase in cases where children consciously or subconsciously reject their parents. What is alarming is that this rejection starts at the pre-teen or even younger stages, when they are not psychologically equipped to become independent.
