Authoritative Parenting

That afternoon, Mother Dianti played to Anaya's house. Indeed, if not busy and lonely at home, usually Mother Dianti choose to play at Anaya's house and at the same time play with her grandchildren.

"What's busy, Ay?" ask Mother Dianti to Anaya now.

"Not busy, Mother. If you can pick up the school image, it is loose. Stay with Citra to do PR from school and play with Twins" Anaya replied.

Hearing Anaya's reply, Mother Dianti smiled and nodded her head slowly. She was delighted to see Anaya implement authoritative parenting for her three children.

Authoritative parenting itself is that parents will provide consistent behavioral boundaries. In addition, in applying this parenting pattern does not apply violence to children. Because, when children do one thing, parents prefer to invite children to discuss.

For example, such as explaining to the Little One why given certain rules. Simply put, parents do not liberate and take for granted the child's behavior, but also do not provide excessive control. Interestingly, the child will be given the opportunity to try and take responsibility for his choices.

"Partner, you want to study first or play with Brother first?" ask Anaya now to Citra, her eldest daughter.

"You want to learn, Ma ..., but Oma won her PR training?" ask Citra.

It is clear that Anaya allowed Citra to vote. Play first can also, as long as Citra continues to learn and work on PR. Invite children to discuss, so that children can choose and express their opinions. In addition, parents also learn to listen to the child's choices, and let the child do what he chooses.

While Oma Dianti smiled when Citra chose to work on PR and accompanied by Omanya. However, Oma Dianti nodded her head. He certainly wants to accompany Citra to work on PR. Just like in the Orphanage, she also often accompanies children to work on her PR.

"Yuk, Oma temenin .. today what is PR, Citra?" ask Oma Dianti.

The image took a piece of paper from inside his bag. Then show it to his omana. "It sucks the letter B, Oma," he said.

"Yes already, yuk ... Oma. The letter B is big and small?" ask Oma Dianti.

"Yes, Oma ... The image holds the pencil correctly, Oma. Miss said in school, Citra must learn to hold a pencil in order to write," Citra's story now tells Oma Dianti.

Again, listening to Citra who told the story, Oma Dianti smiled again. "Partner training at home?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, same training Mama," she replied.

After that, Citra can thicken the letters B large and small itself. Occasionally Oma Dianti also reminded Citra to be neater and thicken it not out of line. The image also tries hard to make it more neat.

"It's less neat, Oma?" ask the image again.

"There are some less neat ones, honey. The image of learning again well .. this is already good, if neater it must be much better," replied Oma Dianti.

Seen the way Oma Dianti praised Citra was to praise the process. Yes, the results of thickening the letters for a 4-year-old child where the kinesthetic hand muscles are not so good. However, with encouragement and motivation if it is neater, the results will certainly be better.

"Yes, Oma. Oma gave her the same as Mama," Citra replied.

It is the same, because the parenting pattern that is applied now is Autorative Parenting. Giving praise is also not based on results, but on the process so that children enjoy the process. Through the process, children learn and get to know what it is to fall and rise. Not immediately accepting the result.

"What is it, my dear?" ask Oma Dianti again.

Listening to Citra's story, Oma Dianti smiled. It feels great to see Anaya and Tama implementing a good parenting pattern for their children. Even now Mother Dianti was wondering, later when her own child was born, wanted to also provide good care for her own child.

"Mama, Citra has learned loh," said Citra and showed the PR sheet she had worked on.

Anaya checked the work of Citra, then began to nod her head. "OK, good, son .., try Citra see, the letter B is less neat well. Your pencil line is beyond this line" points Anaya.

"What does Citra remove and rework, Ma?" tanyakanya.

"May, if Citra wants to do it," Anaya replied.

According to him, Citra also removed the untidy part, then rewrote it. It turns out the results are more neat. Anaya smiled because her daughter was persistent and willing to try. Hopefully it becomes a good habit for the image until adulthood later. Not afraid to try and be persistent.

"Well, it's neater" said Anaya and Oma Dianti together.

Praised by Mama and Omanya, Citra looks happy. Even his face was smiling brightly. That's a sign that Citra has learned to process.

"Hore, seneng ...."

Citra also admitted that she was very happy now. Mama Anaya and Oma Dianti laughed together. All because the image is so funny.

"May not, the image of playing with the Sister, Ma?" tanyakanya.

"By, Brother Citra," replied Mama Anaya.

While observing Citra and Twins playing together. Anaya asked her mother, still related to her current pregnancy.

"Ngidam no Mommy?" tanyakanya.

"Not yet, Ay .., just Mommy wants a little story, Your father is amazingly good and very attentive. Mother as if united by your Father," I Mother Dianti.

How not to be united. If Dad Tendean is sufficient for all his needs, give it a stop. Now, Mother Dianti did not hesitate to tell Anaya. Because of his concern Tendean Father, every night that accompanies Mother Dianti taking medicine from the Doctor is Tendean Father. He who feeds himself two hymen-coated drugs into the mouth of his wife.

Anaya smiled. Now her heart warms. That's because his father is a good man. Attentively. One more thing, when his father intends to get married, then he will love and also give his best for his wife.

"Sometimes, the Mother is moved. Especially now, Mother cannot repay your father. Do not be related first, because the age factor and the content of prostaglandin hormones that your father has, can make his baby dizzy. As if, we are showered with kindness, but cannot repay it" Mother Dianti told.

"It's okay, Mother. Dad is understanding. I won't be angry either. Mother, do not think. Pity her grandfather" Anaya replied.

Mother Dianti then smiled. "Good husband, good boy. Thanks Anaya. Even though it was too late, God gave a good family to Mother. Plus the son-in-law and grandchildren. This is the immeasurable favor of God."

Yes, fully Mother Dianti realized so long as to be an orphan. His family is only children and staff at Mother's Orphanage. Now, even though it seems too late, but now Mother Dianti has a whole and complete family. Family that looks like a spruce family.
