Approach, which will be called "adequate parenting" is the upbringing of the child taking into account his psychological characteristics. How would you like to raise a child? Happy, purposeful, independent, friendly, harmonious, confident, successful, sociable, stress-resistant.

Drawing a parallel with the Navigator in the car, we can say that what you see your child in the future is your goal, you have to move. But to reach the goal, the Navigator must specify the point from which go. There are many books that describe how to achieve goals, how to raise your child independent, purposeful, self-confident, etc. but we rarely think how is your baby now. And if you do not understand exactly where you are right now, to get to this future will be difficult. For example, if you want to get to Sochi from different cities you there will be different ways to reach. The same with the child, depending on where it is, you differently would be to move towards this. Almost all of the desirable characteristics are characteristics of your child's personality, but he is not born a personality immediately.

In psychology, found that personality develops gradually, but is built and exists on the basis of character. It manifests itself very early, but still is not the child's personality. Before you educate a person, you need to understand what are the features of character of your child as they are manifested and how they influence the formation of personality. But different not only children but parents too. You read baby books, recommendations about how to develop the child, but sometimes they are very difficult to apply to individual children.

The task of parents is to support the weaknesses of the child and to develop a strong quality. Any of the character types can lead to the desired goal in relation to your child. Anyone can be happy, successful, independent and etc. each character has its stress point, it has weaknesses that you need to know when raising a child.
