Parenting seeds: parallels between parenting and farming.

Anyone who claims that parenting is easy is being untruthful. Parenting is one of the most demanding responsibilities, yet some treat it as mere common sense

I have observed two extremes among parents:

• Those who acknowledge the complexity of parenting and seek help from professionals; and
• Those who dismiss discussions on parenting as unnecessary.

Regardless of one’s attitude, one fact remains: specific parenting behaviours yield specific outcomes.

In this book, I draw parallels between parenting and farming, describing parenting behaviours as “seeds” that yield corresponding results. Using psychological theory, I provide guidance on how parents can cultivate effective and nurturing parenting practices.
