Parenting

Parenting is an evolving process that changes as children grow, from a more directive approach to a more collaborative one. In the early years (0-6), parents largely take control, guiding their children through crucial developmental stages. As children mature (6-12), there’s room for more shared decision-making, although parents still have a significant influence. By the time children are 12 years old and beyond, the parenting dynamic shifts towards greater independence, with more room for children’s autonomy in making choices, while parents offer guidance and support.
