Parent Resource for Early Childhood Professionals
Positive parenting describes a set of parental behaviors that support a child's capacity to love, trust, explore and learn.
Positive parenting in early childhood education focuses on making caregiving decisions that align with both your educational philosophy and the developmental needs of each child. It requires an understanding of children’s individual temperaments, ages, and stages of development. This approach emphasizes responding to common early childhood challenges with empathy, respect, and sensitivity, creating a nurturing environment that supports the growth and well-being of every child.
