I’m no parent, yet, but I can say that when comparing different parenting styles I witnessed over the years, parents who put more attention to develop and nourish the competency to self-accept, to steer with rational insight, to not use shame and blame to nudge behavior (while also working on to empower their children to withstand shaming and bullying by the outside world), to feel their emotions to develop competency in emotional regulation, to make them feel safe and playful while never losing the sight for the bigger goals, to give and show unconditional love, to not bind rewards to soothing of emotionally pressured/stressed states, produced much more content and successful children.
Of course, these concepts are very difficult to teach in the very early years, but it is the very first years that are very formative for all the schemas that will haunt your child throughout the rest of their lives.
But again, I don’t have children and I’m no expert on this so please don’t follow my advice.
