Description: Socratic Parenting focuses on developing a personal parenting philosophy and sharing that philosophy with your child through dialogues, asking open-ended questions, and modeling the behavior you want to see in your child. It applies the Socratic Method to parenting, helping parents find personal answers to universal questions. Traditional punishment and reward techniques may classically condition desired behaviors, but parents who develop their own self-discipline and critical thinking skills will naturally encourage their children to become self-disciplined, independent thinkers.
