Inclusive Positive Parenting

Finding out that your child has a neurodevelopmental disorder might mean that you’ll need to adapt your parenting style to support your child’s life. Parenting styles are shaped by cultural believes, personal experiences, socio economic status and psychological factors.

Positive parenting could mean something different to each parent. It emphasizes how parent nature, care, teach, provide for their children’s needs and communicate with their children.





Inclusive positive parenting includes acknowledging your challenges, what might work for one parent might not work for you. It’s about making a conscious choice of how your parenting style can work for your child’s development.

Developing a positive parenting style will benefit parents with the following:

  1.          Better mental health and wellness: Positive parenting promotes involvement, curiosity,                playfulness and acceptance.
  2.           Reduces behavioural issues: Positive parenting helps parents to better understand their                children and how to better regulate their emotions.
  3.          Resilience and empathy: Parents that are positively parenting are more accepting and                  approach their journey with more empathy and compassion.

Remember that every child’s needs are different, it’s important to tailor parenting style that works for your child and family.

It can be quite sad experiencing your child regress from all the development they had. Regressive autism is a condition where a child seems to be developing fine and suddenly, they begin to lose all that development. These regression symptoms are usually happen during toddlerhood before the age of two. Regression in more noticeable with speech and social skills. Children that have lost their speech also seem to become a bit distant towards their peers and other people due to limited communication and as a result that cause regression in their social skills as well.
