Abstract
Parenting is the task of upbringing a child by stimulating the emotional, intellectual, physical and social development from infancy to adulthood. Positive parenting involves caring, communicating, empowering, guiding as well as providing for the needs of a child consistently. A mutually respectful parent-child relationship will be maintained. Positive parenting should start from infancy. Secure parent-child attachment leads to numerous positive developmental outcomes for the child.
