Parenting Styles #1

Hey all! If you read my last series of blog posts, I talked about your child’s communication styles and what that may mean! This series will also go into details on something that is taught through Hanen: Parenting Styles!

Now, everyone has a parenting style that they are most comfortable with, and we often move through different ones at different times.  However, it is important for us as parents to be aware of our styles when we have certain outcomes we want! Hanen teaches that there are 7 different parenting styles!

They are:

  1. The Director
  2. The Tester
  3. The Entertainer
  4. The Helper
  5. The Mover
  6. The Watcher
  7. The Tuned-In

Again, we all flow through these different styles during different times of the day, but it’s good to be aware of WHY we are doing what we are doing! Stay tuned for the next few blogs to find out more about each style and what the outcomes can be!  We can all learn a little something about ourselves and how we can better help our kids!

Stay safe!
