The role of Parenting in healthy child development:

Positive parenting helps children grow into the people they were intended to be. When parents treat their children with love, fairness and respect, their children grow and thrive. One very important part of positive parenting is discipline - not the kind that hurts children, but the kind that helps them to learn. Discipline should be about teaching, not punishing. That is the best way for children to learn.
