Parenting styles are conceptual frameworks used to describe the diverse approaches parents adopt while raising their children. These styles encompass a wide range of parental behaviors, attitudes, and emotional dynamics that shape the environment in which children are raised.
The joint family system, deeply rooted in India’s cultural framework, plays a significant role in shaping child-rearing practices. This structure typically includes generations residing under a single roof, promoting close-knit engagement, shared responsibility, and collective decision-making. Children grow up immersed in an environment of shared values and traditions, learning to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics.
Dos: ● Use a gentle laundry detergent that is specifically designed for babies. These detergents are free from harsh chemicals that could irritate their sensitive skin. ● Use liquid detergent containing glycerin that is gentle on clothes, your hand and also on the skin of your baby. ● Wash baby clothes separately from the rest of the family’s laundry. It will help prevent any germs or bacteria from spreading. Don’ts: ● Don’t use fabric softeners, as they can cause skin irritation in babies. ● Don’t use bleach, as it can be harsh on baby’s skin and cause discolouration of their clothes.
