    Exploring values and beliefs that guide your parenting

    You are your child’s first teacher, just like how your parents and other adults in your life were yours when you were growing up.

    These past experiences with them often influence your values and beliefs which in turn, guide your parenting decisions and shape your parenting style today. Thus, it is important to be aware of and reflect on the values and beliefs that you hold dearly to, as these will directly impact the relationship you have with your child.

    Being aware of your relationship with your child

    The way you communicate and interact with your child is influenced by your values and beliefs about what it means to be a parent. This not only affects your parent-child bond, but also shapes the development of your child’s own values, beliefs, and skills as they mature. Hence, it is important to be aware of how you interact with them.
