“They’re still young. They don’t know what they want yet so I get a say at everything.”
“I will have restrictions and I will explain why certain things are not good for them.”
“I don’t want to hinder their creativity, so I will let them do whatever. If they make a mistake, I hope they learn from it.”
I would rather have them figure “out life on their own.”

We always believe with our child's power to learn and to explore on her own. Sometimes we thought that because we are older, we know better. Pero minsan they have their own way of doing things different from ours. What we try to do is to always be mindful. Mindful of her interests, her wants and her skills. We let her be part of the decision making pero we clearly explain the consequences of each choice as her guide. Respect also comes both ways. We respect her choices, her space, her time. As much as hinihingi naman ang respeto din sa kanya. That way, hindi sha takot magexplore, hindi sha takot makipagusap sa tao, hindi takot magkamali, at higit sa lahat hindi takot sumubok ng bagong bagay na pwede nyang matutunan ;)

I let my son explore all the things he likes, no restrictions but with supervision. I’m a nurse and he sees me using a stethoscope often and one time he wanted to try the stethoscope, I allowed him. He’s also exposed at the doctor’s clinic during his visits to the stethoscope. Kaya ngayon he associates it with medical professionals, now (for now at least) he’s expressing that he wants to be a doctor at the age of two. Our kids might be very young at age and not fully grasp what they truly want to be in the future, but we can foster their potential for whatever and whoever they want to be by cultivating their likes at an early age.

KNOW- As intentional parents, we make sure we make time for the children and get to know their interestes and which ones they are highly leaning to so we may do what we can to ensure they reach their maximum potential. SUPPORT- upon knowing their interestes, skills, and talents, we guide them and support them in all ways possible. ENCOURAGE - not all the time they succeed or win. But in every win, there could be many losses which help them develop character, resiliency, strength, and determination to be what they want to be.

My husband and I came up with this P.L.A.Y. formula. Pretend Play Limitless (we let her be a kid,do her thing as a kid, explore and experiment. Moreover, we let her do things on her own for her to discover independence and sense of responsibility. She also have been doing chores since she’s 1.5 years old), Adapt (adapt to the ever changing world), Yipee (once again, let her be a kid. No pressure. Enjoy her childhood)

I let my 2 year old do her thing. I let her explore her surroundings while I stay close enough to make sure she is safe and guarded. Likewise, At her age, I know she can't comprehend that much yet but trying to explain situations in simple ways while looking in her eyes, calmly (kahit gusto ko na magwala 😂), and also politely (because this will show how we respect them), I know there will be a difference.

I follow mixed parenting style. Besides no child is the same. So the parenting style should vary based on the personality of your child but. 1. Yes I let them fail and commit mistake. Then il explain and guide them after. Why? Easier for them to fail now than when they are 30. 2. Babyled. I try not to force them. I wait until they are ready. This applies to potty training, weaning, talking, etc

It depends on the kind of child that you have. Best to apply parenting styles appropriate for the child while balancing fairness if you have more than one. There’s no one “ideal” way to parent imo. But there are several ways you could screw up. That’s why you always need to be on your toes and not be “stuck” when it comes to what you “think” is right.
