New school versus old school parenting.

There is a saying that goes like this Spare the rod and spoil the child , Do you think is still valid in this new school parenting?

Basically, “Spare the rod and spoil the child” means that a child should be punished occasionally or even physically, to teach him or her properly. Today, most parents no longer see parenting this way. Modern parents focus more on kindness, talking and empathy than on scaring their children. It has been shown that strong discipline can negatively affect a child’s mind and the relationship they share with their parents.

Alternately, acting with empathy and sticking to the same disciplinary principles seems to create greater self-control and responsibility in children. Even though rules and punishments are important, today people believe that physical discipline is not the best choice. A safe, listening and respectful environment is best for children to thrive in. You can guide your children with patience and love instead of using discipline to make them confident and well-adjusted. Therefore, the saying doesn’t work anymore with the way parents dedicate themselves to respectful techniques.

Do you think that Old school parents were too strict compared to new school parenting?

Definitely, many previous generations of parents were tougher than current parents. They usually expected students to obey rules without much possibility for discussion. Rules had to be followed without any questions being asked. This set up, however, sometimes meant that fear took the place of understanding. Alternatively, new school parenting concerns itself more with child emotions, chatty interaction and respectful relationships. It supports children in showing how they feel and learning about the reasons for the rules. It means you won’t be unfair or strict; you’ll just be wiser and kinder. Old school tactics were useful, yet from the point of view of new school parenting, children are happier and more confident when their opinions and personalities are respected.

Which one were you raised ?Do you think you were raised right .

Yes, I was raised in the right way and old school parenting was my experience. Discipline, respect and responsibility were important values to us while I was growing up. They were very strict about rules which, in retrospect, taught me valuable things about life. I realized how important hard work is, dedication and behaving with integrity. Consequences made me aware that what I did mattered. I’m thankful now for having that structure, since it contributed to who I have become. While it wasn’t always expressive, there was plenty of love, support and care in the way they raised me. I found that the old fashioned way worked for me and I’d keep it the same.

Do you think we should go back to old school parenting or stick to new school parenting.

Parenting works best when we combine traditional and recent methods into one healthy style. Discipline, respect and responsibility were the main values taught in old school parenting and these still matter today. Still, emotional help was often absent and many conversations were kept closed. With new school parenting, adults use emotional tools by building a connection, showing empathy and considering what makes their child unique. If parents aren’t firm enough, it might cause confusion about lines and responsibilities.

The fact is, there isn’t one universal way to parent. Children are all different and their environment as they grow is different also. If you use both traditional and new approaches, children will gain self-esteem, respect for others and emotional stability. Instead of selecting just one, it’s smart to use the best points from each.
