Life has changed remarkably over the years – yes, even since you were a child and so have parenting styles. There is no right way or wrong way to parenting; the right way is what works for your family.
Earlier, families were close-knit, probably joint, and family members pitched in to offer their wisdom and help to bring up children. This has changed over the years, especially with nuclear families and small family units in different cities. Kids, too, have more of a say and more control over their lives, and working parents must handle childcare differently. Yet, some things never change down generations - our intention to give our children the best possible start in life, to educate them, to help them learn their boundaries and establish their own, to bolster their self-confidence and skills, and to always assure them of our love and support. The objective of every parenting style has been to raise a happy, well-adjusted and better human being.
Here's a look at different parenting styles in the last century...
The Silent Generation Parents
The Silent Generation (1927-1946) believed in hard work. These were young parents who were forced to put the quest for economic stability in their lives ahead of the enjoyment of their role as parents. Their way of showing their children they loved them was by working hard to support the family. They might not have had enough time to spend with their kids, but the parents of this generation instilled grit and determination in the generations that followed.
