PARENTING QUICKLY OR SMARTLY

As parents our attitudes vary on what we consider is the right type of parenting.  Parenting can be categorised in four main groups Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive or Uninvolved. The one thing all parents can agree on is that their child's health is the number one priority. This doesn't mean that what we all consider is unsafe is the same for all of us. You might leave your child alone when the pot is on the stove boiling because you've done it a thousand times and your child has never shown any interest in touching the cooking, but it is still a gamble. The odds might be in your favour but is it a risk that you as the guardian want to take. On a day to day basis you as a the parent or carer are constantly making decisions on behalf of those you are responsible for so make the choice that is better not the one that is quicker.
