I keep seeing posts and hashtags about mindful parenting. What does it mean to be a mindful parent? How is it different from positive parenting? Intentional parenting? So many types of parenting! What's wrong with just being a parent, period?

Hi Yes, true, there is no wrong with being just a parent because when you become a parent every other thing that you mentioned come on its own. You become mindful, positive, responsible, counsellor, patient and so many other things. I think, sometimes, reading also confuses us a little. Do not get into definition of being a parent or go behind the adjectives before parent, just be a parent to your child with your own understanding of things.

Exactly. Why do you even bother to understand what is the different kinds of parenting! You as a parent to your child are as unique as your child is. So, grow into a good parent as you teach your child to grow up into a good person, and this is what is important. Yes, we can always take cues from other people as how nicely or how a different;y a particular situation can be handled.
