Pa-pa-pa-parenting: which way is your way? Or rather, which color are you? . In psychology there are four predominant parenting types. If using color psychology, here what they would look like: ⚫️ Black. Authoritarian type. Inflexible. Strict. Super-high expectations. Punishes rather then disciplines. “There is only one way - it’s the “mom/dad way” type. 🔴 Red. Authoritative type. Nurturing. Affectionate. Discipline through guidance. Letting kids learn through mistakes. “If you don’t believe me, try it for yourself” type. 🔵 Blue. Permissive type. Warm. Welcoming. Barely any boundaries. Super-responsive. “Well, this is my child and that’s what he needs ( while watching kid climbing over neighbors car)” type. ⚪️ White. Uninvolved type. Emotionally detached. Self-absorbed. Inconsistent boundaries, if any. “Go play, I am busy” type. . Isn’t this interesting? I personally believe that there are far more than four colors, there is a whole rainbow of parenting styles, but we all DO have a dominant color. I also think that parenting color styles can change with course of life, too. . What do you think? Which color is your dominant? . PS: I can write the characteristics of kids’ behaviors per different parenting type. It’s crazy fascinating.

Thanks so much for all your comments, guys! I really appreciate it! It’s a rewarding feeling too, to know that what I write helps someone, inspires someone and your questions help me see what I need to write about! Right in that topic, answering questions that came in under a “Christmas card” picture during the last couple of days. First one is ❄️HOW DO I GET KIDS READY❄️ I get this asked so much, and usually a question sounds something like “I barely can manage two(three) small kids! How do you do it with SEVEN?! It cannot be possible!” Guys, the answers are in the question!🤗 ☃️ my most challenging time was when I was a mom of a ONE little toddler (I am sure, two is hard too, but mine was a preemie, so my perception is not a typical one there. It’s a different level of a “difficult”) Solution? I wish I could go back to that time and to tell myself, that I needed to chill out a little more and not be 110% perfect by the book. Any experienced mom will second my words. ☃️I have seven kids, yes. But I don’t have 7 babies or 7 toddlers. This gets missed somehow every single time🤗. In reality, right now ( it was different at different times) I only have one baby and one toddler/little girl. Evyianne is VERY independent, and Elia is following his lead. If I can manage with Evyianne ( and at 4,5 kids reason quite well), he can translate to Elia, and she listens to him WAY more then to me. All the other kids are very independent - which is natural for them. I don’t restrict kids, but I DO guide them. ☃️How we get ready - easily! I have outfits that are simple to put together and easy to mix! Have you seen one of Nadya’s video’s on YouTube? Should we do more of those? This is how we put outfits together. What is kids don’t want to wear it? We buy things together. I guide to what I like, but I let them choose. I highly recommend “Love and Logic” books - one of the best, in my opinion, for parenting. Should I expand more on “how-to” with kids topics? What do you think? #parenting #livingnotesQandA #livingnotes_parenting #livingnotes_parentingtips ~~~~~~~~~~ Спасибо вам за ваши вопросы в комментариях и, вообще, за комментарии! Я правда очень 👇🏻
