When we think about parenting, science isn’t often something that comes to mind. Parenting is usually a skill we build by riding the highs and lows and doing our best to make sure our children grow up as healthy and happy as they can. But that’s not the whole story.

Despite the conversation, debate, and opinions thrown around, this “gold standard” has stood the test of time and science to stand out as the ideal style to raise children. Children who have parents using the style become more resilient, sociable, and caring people. Parents grow as much as their children. Family life becomes better for everyone.
