Different Styles of Parenting - Which One is Best?
The uninvolved parenting style is when the parents are simply not there to be parents to their children. So this type of parenting can be described as "non existent". Therefore, we will not discuss it here, because it is not an effective parenting style. Kids with an uninvolved parent often struggle with feelings of rejection, lack of self-esteem, and trust issues.
Let's take a look at the other three parenting styles - authoritarian, authoritative and permissive.
Authoritarian, authoritative and permissive represent the range of parenting styles, where authoritarian is on one end, the permissive on the other end, and authoritative in the middle.
The parenting style differ form each other in two aspects - structure and responsiveness. Structure represents the limits and rules a child has to obey to, therefore it is the main ingredient in authoritarian parenting.
Responsiveness is the parent's sensitivity to a child's voice. It represents the child's wants and needs. Responsiveness is therefore the most important element in permissive parenting.
So, while authoritarian parenting is high on structure, it is low on Responsiveness. For example, is a child is late to come home, he or she will expect to be punished. If they fail to complete their homework or other chores, they will bare the consequences. Their parent will not listen to their needs and there will be no negotiation as for the limits and rules that this parent determines for his child.
With the permissive parent, things are quite the opposite.
The Parent Farm
Imagine The Parent Farm sounds funny I know, yet it would be nice to know that there is a place where parents can go to learn how to nurture and teach their children, how to become great adults.

Yes I understand the pressures of life and the responsibilities, yet how many kids misbehave or get into trouble? While it is only one scenario generally these children are vying for your attention.
What Should My Child Be Eating For Optimal Health?
What I share with you comes from my personal experience with my children and grandchildren.
Rather than laying out a specific way of eating, I am going to write about what I have learned about what NOT to eat.
Below is a partial list of things not to feed your children:
Sugar
Corn syrup
Glucose syrup
Wheat syrup
Rice syrup
Potato starch
Modified food starch
White foods - white bread, white rice, rice milk, white pastas, white wheat flour
Processed grains
French fries
Sodas
Trans-fats
Vegetable oils other than coconut and olive oil
Preservatives and food colorings - or anything that you can't pronounce!
You might not think you are feeding your children many of these, but if you look at the labels, you will find many of these non-foods in packaged and refined products.

Parents should be coming from the possibility of love for children when there is opportunity to express it. For example, when a parent is faced with a challenging discipline situation, he can scream and lose his marbles or he can come up with ideas or possibilities to express his love while still managing the children's behavior. They should then ask, "What is the cost of eliminating the risk? "
