What determines how we raise a child?

As they say, we don't become that, but we are born that way when our child is born. No matter how prepared we think we are, the reality can be very different from what we imagined.

Parenting styles are influenced by many factors

Lived experiences

We often take on the example that we experienced as children from our parents. We apply the methods and customs that our parents used for us. If the experiences we experienced in childhood remain in us as not good experiences at all, then it is possible that we instill the opposite of this pattern in our children, so that they do not have to live the experiences that we once had to. Sometimes this can be exaggerated and the result will be a child spoiled by the educational method.

Personality

Everyone is a separate personality, and the members of the parenting couple may already have personality traits, which are also reflected in education.

Family environment

The size of the family, its structure and dynamics, and the prevailing customs can significantly influence how an adult becomes a parent.

Cultural influences

Cultural factors also have an impact on what appropriate education is like. In other words, the rules, expectations, and standards may be different, and these all influence the way children are treated by their parents.

Special needs

Well, there are huge differences between children and children, even if they are siblings. The children's uniqueness, individuality and unique needs can override the standard that the parent enforced for the other child. In other words, you have to adapt.

Environmental factors

The economic and financial situation of the family, problems at work (dismissal, stress), but also the living environment are influential factors.
