Lazy parenting. Its about mindfully stepping back to allow your child to struggle on their own for a minute rather than rushing in and rescuing. Lazy parenting is the failure to realize that parenting is work and continuing to live a lifestyle that is most convenient for you after choosing to become a parent. Anticipate your childs needs and provide the tools to develop independence imagination and critical thinking skills on their own. Allow yourself the freedom to parent in a way that feels natural to you and give your children the freedom to find themselves.
The main problem is that there is no motivation and it has arisen because of various reasons. The problem involves moments of frustration discouragement and anxiety. Lazy parenting to me is not teaching your child manners because that would interfere with their creativity. A parents ability to manage tantrums mistakes and mischief wisely can help a child become a good citizen.
Lazy parenting with short chapters and cheeky sidebars offers advice and ideas to parents who are seeking a gentler and more natural style of child rearing. It is possible to have friendly interactions with your children while being a responsible parent. For many parents life can get too hectic to follow through on their parenting plans especially if it will take some work to get the kids on board. Descriptions of lazy parenting lie couched in the context of so much is expected from parents these days this implies that the level of involvement that is very demanding of our time and energy is todays normal so anything less than that is lazy.
The last thing any parent especially a lazy one wants to do after putting the kids to bed is clean the house. You know when it is ok to stand back and be lazy so dont let some sanctimonious stranger stop you from being the parent. Lazy parenting is about intentionally providing your child with opportunities to develop a sense of self efficacy which in turn will bolster confidence independence and responsibility. Like you many parents believe that they have lazy kids.
Dont be a lazy parent. Lazy parenting is not uninvolved parenting.
