Parenting styles vary from person to person – and a New York mother simply shared her hot taking on what to do with your children when on family vacation.
Stephanie Woodward is not a foreigner to openly share how she and her husband, Ryan Chalmers, their 13 -month triplets and two caretaker children, 9 and 7, on the Instagram page of the family.
In a latest video titled “3 controversial things that I make my children do on vacation”, Woodward showed that no matter where her family is – on vacation or at home – she makes her old boys make a mathematical worksheet every single summer vacation day.
“I don’t want them to experience a summer drop and I want them to feel really prepared and excited about the year in front of them,” she explained in her Instagram wrap.
Another parenting for eyebrow raising-This would probably make most parents tighten their pearls-it’s Woodward allows her 9 and 7-year-old to sail the family while traveling.
“Whether we are walking through a tourist area in Washington DC or a resort in the Kayman Islands, or elsewhere. They will be able to read the map and show us how to get there and if that means we spend some time going to the wrong, then it will be so,” the mother explained.
“Because I want them to be able to sail for themselves as they continue to grow old.”
The third “controversial” thing that this mama Bear proudly makes with her children is to make them stop and read a “sign of rules” at all times that the family encounters one.
“We were in a water park lately … We will stop and read the sign that says all the rules before we get inside and I have my children to read it aloud,” Woodward said in her video.
Outside the box, how much the Woodward’s access to parenting-it received an extremely positive response to its video.
“As a teacher, I applaud you in all three !!!”
“Excellent jobs, they will work an adult one day! We need more from this.”
“We made our children sail too and now they are super safe travelers !!”
While Woodward’s parenting style is useful – others are more toxic.
If you are the type of parent that drives your child to register for any extracurricular activity or get bored for them for a bad grade because of what they may seem for their teacher – you are the parenting of the ego.
“Parenting the ego is when a parent is parents of their need to feel good, or not, in control or valuable,” Cheryl Groskopf’s mental health therapist told Pop Sugar.
“Less less to support a child’s growth and more for protecting the image or feelings of the parent.”
