It\u2019s easier to gauge your child\u2019s physical needs because often he can communicate his hunger or thirst. However, as a parent, you need to be sensitive to your child\u2019s emotional needs as well. This is where \u2018responsive parenting\u2019 as a term comes in.Read on to know more.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<section class=\"weeks-wrap\">\r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-center\">\r\n<div class=\"col-md-10 col-lg-10\">\r\n<div class=\"weeks-img \"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid desktop-banner\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danone.in\/aptaclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/03-4.jpg\" alt=\"Pregency Week\" \/><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-10 col-lg-10\">\r\n<div class=\"weeks-cont samesec\">\r\n<h3>Let\u2019s get the basics right<\/h3>\r\n<p>Your child has his own needs, concerns and emotional responses to every situation or event. Your being able to recognise and acknowledge these needs is the first step, followed by providing your child with the support and reassurance he needs to manage his emotions.<\/p>\r\n<h3>What you should know about responsive parenting<\/h3>\r\n<p>When you choose responsive parenting, you become more aware of why your child behaves the way he does in response to a certain situation, for instance, whether they react angrily, or can maintain their calm.<\/p>\r\n<p>As a mother, you need to:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Observe your child\u2019s body language to gauge his reaction<\/li>\r\n<li>Interpret these observations to understand what your child is feeling at the moment, for example, hunger or sleep<\/li>\r\n<li>Act upon these interpretations, so that you can meet your child\u2019s needs at the earliest possible instance<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-10 col-lg-10\">\r\n<div class=\"weeks-img \"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid desktop-banner\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danone.in\/aptaclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/04-3.jpg\" alt=\"Pregency Week\" \/><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-10 col-lg-10\">\r\n<div class=\"weeks-cont samesec\">\r\n<h3>What makes responsive parenting important<\/h3>\r\n<p>It\u2019s not enough to only meet your child\u2019s physical needs, because his emotional needs cannot go unanswered. When you adopt sensitive parenting, research has shown that your child has better cognitive outcomes and is more likely to grow up to be a healthy individual.<\/p>\r\n<p>Responsive parenting improves your child\u2019s development not just in the short term but also in the long run. Remember that while genetics play an important role in your growing toddler, the environmental factors he is exposed to also shape his responses. In the case of low birth weight infants, responsive parenting has been known to decrease social anxiety and depression.<\/p>\r\n<p>Particularly in toddlers, responsive parenting becomes important because the lack of it may result in a negative impact on the child. When we as parents don\u2019t respond to a toddler, it may cause him some stress, which is related to the child\u2019s ability to learn. It also impacts his behaviour and health negatively.<\/p>\r\n<h3>How rewarding is responsive parenting?<\/h3>\r\n<p>Responsive parenting results in a more secure bonding with your child, as your child is reassured of your presence in his life. A child who is more attached to his parents is more likely to have better problem-solving skills and abilities. He will also show a better understanding of language and have enhanced social skills.<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"weeks-img \"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid desktop-banner\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danone.in\/aptaclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/05-2.jpg\" alt=\"Pregency Week\" \/><\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<h3>What you can do to encourage your child<\/h3>\r\n<p>Reading a book is a great way to get started, but don\u2019t forget to respond to your child\u2019s questions and remarks. Encourage them to identify words or pictures. Establish a relationship with your child through simple activities and pave the way for an emotionally secure and healthy future.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- \/row --><\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<section class=\"refrence-wrap\">\r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\r\n<div class=\"col-md-10 col-lg-10\">\r\n<div class=\"refrence-links\">\r\n<h3>References:<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptaclub.co.uk\/toddler\/bonding-and-development\/supporting-your-toddlers-development-through-responsive-parentin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.aptaclub.co.uk\/toddler\/bonding-and-development\/supporting-your-toddlers-development-through-responsive-parentin.html<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<div class=\"backarticle-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danone.in\/aptaclub\/category\/parenting\/toddler\/\"><i class=\"fa fa-arrow-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Back to Articles<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to parenting, as new parents especially, you are sometimes unsure whether what you are doing is right.
