Parents will be interested to know that in addition to raising children through work and personal example, you can practice so-called lazy parenting.
In cooking, a lazy recipe means something that is prepared in a hurry. In the business of raising children, the word "lazy" does not seem to promise anything good.
However, experts note that lazy parenting is a new trend that is conquering the world and may well displace the ideas of B. Spock himself and his colleagues.
What is lazy parenting
In short, this is the opposite of overprotection, which is criticized by everyone and their dog.
That is, the child goes through the evolutionary path independently, through trial and error, bumps, bruises and other minor troubles.
The idea is not about parents being indifferent to the health and future of their child, but about the child being able to feel freedom of action and responsibility for their actions, thereby gaining self-confidence.
It is believed that children raised in such conditions find it easier to navigate unfamiliar situations.
What do parents do?
Parents observe the actions of the child who finds himself in a new situation. They do not solve problems for him or give him any hints.
It is enough to just leave the child during the game and allow him to act as he sees fit (within acceptable limits).
The place for games should be safe. He can try, explore, even be capricious, but achieve his goal.
Parents should provide assistance only depending on the age and abilities of the child.
The main thing here is not to try to do something for the child and do it better than he can do himself.
