In What Way Can You Be an Affirming Parent to Your Child

Tweet

Affirming parents are those who understand the need and importance of playing a critical role in their child’s development. These are the parents who are keen to help their child develop physically, intellectually and socially- - - right from the early stages of child development. It is they, who can enable their children to blossom into well-adjusted, responsible and productive individuals. But can this really be possible? Yes. It is possible through serious commitment and hard work. In the early stages of Child Development, parents need to be responsive and readily available to all of their child's needs. By holding, loving, hugging, feeding and playing with their child, they can build a close bond called *attachment* with their child. This brand of affirmation makes an infant feel loved and cared for. It provides the child with a comfortable level of security and sets the stage for a positive outcome throughout his/her life.
