The nurturant parent model is a parenting style which envisions a family model where children are expected to explore their surroundings with protection from their parents. This model believes that children inherently know what they need and should be allowed to explore. The parents are responsible for protecting their child during this exploration, including protecting their child from themselves by offering guidance. A child will be picked up if the child cries because the parent wants the child to feel safe and nurtured. If a child grows up believing that its needs will be met, it will be more confident when facing challenges. Ideas involved in this model include: * True discipline is not a matter of strict obedience, but of ild grows up believing that its needs will be met, it will be more confident when facing challenges. Ideas involved in this model include: * True discipline is not a matter of strict obedience, but of respect and compassion * The world is no more inherently hostile than it is inherently friendly; it merely commands respect * Respect and compassion can only be taught by example == Research == This model is based on a study conducted by the Boston College Graduate Program in Human Development where researchers were investigating the parenting style preferred by parents of extraordinarily creative children. Most parenting books recommend the authoritative style. The researchers discovered another parenting style which they called "the nurturing parent" that focuses on responsibility, empathy, and creativity. The basic approach these parents used was to: * Trust in their children's fairness and good judgment * Respect their children's autonomy, thoughts and feelings * Support their children's interests and goals * Enjoy their children's company * Protect their children from doing injury to self or others, not by establishing rules but by communicating values and discussing their children's behavior with them * Modeling the self-control, sensitivity and values they believe their children will need〔Dacey, J.S. & Packer, A.J.
