Attention Parents: The New Compassionate Parenting Paradigm Can Possibly Do More Harm Than Good

A parenting revolution has begun as the new parenting paradigm started. As the year's pass, new parenting techniques surfaced, which defy the traditional parenting styles as it is now commonly used by parents in the millennial generation.

New parenting styles are on the rise, which is mostly the opposite of the traditional parenting style that most millennials grew up with. The new parenting paradigm opens up a leeway for the children's voices to be heard and their opinions being noticed.

The new parenting pattern allows children to voice out their wants, their needs and reason out. It encourages the parents to understand their child's sentiments before giving the necessary consequences. According to the Birth and Parenting website, the new parenting technique that is commonly used nowadays implies that children are inherently good, thus parents have to work hand in hand with their child to address the negative behavior.

Parents of the later generation are more concerned with their child's emotional growth, thus they would opt to go for a more lax method in terms of discipline. Those there are those that strongly advised shying away from the authoritative style of parenting, some experts suggest that the new parenting scheme does more bad than good.

"One of the more destructive consequences of PPP is the tendency on the part of today's parents - especially moms - to assign legitimacy to their children's emotional expressions," John Rosemond from The News Sentinel told his readers. "The typical mom of the 1950s - mine, for example - understood that children were drama factories and that children needed discipline concerning not only their behavior but their feelings and thoughts as well. By contrast, today's parents tend to (a) only discipline behavior, thus teaching their children how to manipulate and (b) buy into their children's dramas and unwittingly enable narcissistic emotional expressions."
