Positive parenting is the practice of using kindness, empathy, and love to guide your child to make good decisions. Positive parenting means that you will have patience with your child, listen to him or her without judgment, and help the child find the solution that works best for them. You will not give in or give up by being kind in your discipline.
The truth about positive parenting
Positive parenting is not the same as permissive parenting, nor is it coddling. Positive parenting means that you are setting limits and rules for your child; it doesn’t mean that you’re going to let them do whatever they want at all times.
Positive parenting involves teaching your child how to make good choices, but it also means helping them learn how to delay gratification and handle difficult situations in positive ways—like being assertive when needed or staying calm during the conflict with others (including parents).
Your child’s negative behavior is not the problem
Your child’s negative behavior is not the problem.
It’s important to remember that your child’s negative behavior is a symptom of an underlying issue, rather than the problem itself. If you go into this situation assuming it will just be easier for them to get their way because they don’t feel like doing things correctly, then chances are good that they will continue to act out in order to get what they want—and eventually become so annoyed by your constant nagging and reminders that they’ll give up on doing anything at all.
You’ll do yourself more harm than good by trying to change how your child behaves through punishments or rewards; instead, try creating boundaries around what can happen when certain behaviors occur (e.g., no television until homework is finished) or encouraging positive coping mechanisms such as talking about feelings instead of acting out physically (or both).

How to use positive parenting if your child is manipulative
In order to teach your child how to be more positive and less manipulative, you need to address the underlying issue. This may mean having regular conversations with them about their behavior and what they can do instead of manipulating their way through situations.
For example: “I know you’re trying hard not to tell me about how much homework there is this week because we have so much fun together every day! But I want you to know that I am aware of how much work there is at school because sometimes I feel like it too when we get home after school. If there are lots of chores or responsibilities involved in our family life, then it makes sense for us both (or all) members of our family group would like some time off from work before coming back again later on down the road.”
Positive parenting creates boundaries that protect your child and empower him or her to find appropriate solutions to problems.

You are not giving in or giving up by being kind in your discipline.
You are not giving in or giving up by being kind in your discipline. Positive parenting isn’t about letting your child get away with anything, but rather teaching and setting limits. It’s about being consistent with rules and expectations, making sure that you teach them all at once instead of having them change every time there’s an argument, and modeling how to behave responsibly as a parent.
Being positive can be difficult because it means teaching other people how to behave better than what they’ve been taught by others before them (like if I’m going to tell my kid “no” before he does something wrong). But this is what makes positive parenting work: It helps our children learn from us so that when they grow up into adults who make mistakes themselves (and we’ll never stop doing so ourselves), they’ll know how to correct their mistakes without hurting anyone else too badly!
Conclusion
With a little bit of practice and patience, you can harness the power of positive parenting to improve your child’s behavior and make them feel loved. It may take some time before all your hard work develops into successful results, but the payoff is well worth it!
