Parenthood is one of the most complex roles, requiring constant effort to set limits and manage emotions amidst societal pressures. Positive parenting has emerged as a key approach, advocating for education based on respect, empathy, and consistency, while maintaining adult responsibility.
González, author of books such as Educar y ser felices, states that studies have shown many traditional parenting tools to be harmful. He clarifies that while not everything from traditional methods is useless, incorporating new, respectful approaches is crucial, defining positive parenting as the fundamental basis for changing education and society.
“"Shouting breaks the bond with our children and punishment generates resentment."
The advisor points out that reacting impulsively, often due to accumulated stress, is a common inherited bad habit. González stresses that parents must shift their focus to their own reactions, as the adult serves as a powerful mirror for the child's behavior. Personal work is required to avoid falling into unwanted patterns.
Constant shouting can have negative long-term repercussions, potentially leading children to replicate aggressive behavior. To manage guilt after an outburst, González advises repairing the mistake by apologizing to the child, demonstrating how to handle errors and reinforcing the parent-child bond.
