If you are a parent, choosing your parenting style will be your exclusive privilege an will be determined by your personal circumstance and values. Basically, your options will be either the child-centered parenting or the family-centered parenting, which will be individually discussed below.
Child-centered Parenting Intensely pursue the child's happiness, taking great strains to avoid discomfort or emotional stress for the child. The child receives what she wants when she wants it: no delay, no waiting. This style, while admirable, begs to ask the question of the possible scenario in instances where the parent is not physically present. There will be a big question mark if either parent will not be able to personally attend to the child. The child can grow up with the notion that everything and anything is his for the taking and will not be emotionally prepared to cope and deal with disappointments that life will bring. Additionally, this sets a child up for a bad case of "me-ism"-other people will not matter to her. Her goals and needs are paramount to everyone else's goals and needs, and the ability to look outward and understand being part of a team will be compromised.
Family-centered Parenting The concept is that the child's needs are satisfied along with, and not at the expense of, other family members. The child gets used to being treated as an important and valued part of the group but not as the superstar.
Not surprisingly, the divergent styles will produce different end products with each having their respective advantages and disadvantages. Parents have the freedom to meet their child's needs and look ahead to developing skills and abilities, as they aren't catering to every fleeting whim or fancy a child might express. The child, having been preconditioned, will be contented even if left to the care of sitters in the event the parents are out together. Because a baby raised in a family-centered plan understands that she is part of a team, she will learn "we-ism," not "me-ism." The child will grow up with the understanding that no man is an island and that he will only be able to exist and function within a group where no one is sacrificed for the benefit of another.
You may know people on either side of these parenting styles who go overboard. That's not what I'm advocating here; a balance must be achieved. Remember these things:
Life doesn't stop because you have a baby. Date your spouse. The new addition does not mean that your spouse is less enjoyable. Your friends are still out there for some bonding time. At the end of each day, spend 15 minutes sitting with your spouse, discussing the day's events.
