When one enters parenthood, there are no manuals that teach them a standard parenting style that would assure them of 100 percent success in raising a child.

In Filipino culture, the elderly imparts parenting advice to new parents from the simple instructional how-to's to the embedding of traditional principles as a relationship-building foundation.

There are also four types of parenting sStyle you can refer to if you prefer it research-based. According to Parenting for Brain, the Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles are: Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive, and Neglectful.

It can be easily explained by:

• 1. The Authoritative Parenting has high demandingness and high responsiveness.
• 2. The Authoritarian Parenting has high demandingness and low responsiveness.
• 3. The Permissive Parenting, it has low demandingness and high responsiveness.
• 4. The Neglectful Parenting has low demandingness and low responsiveness.

However, times have changed and generations have evolved, the paradigms have shifted in parenting style according to these Kapuso moms.

“Hindi mo pwede i-spoil yung bata so better talaga na ipaintindi mo sa kanya na bakit mo siya papaluin,” tells Ciara Sotto, a hands-on mother to her son, Crixus.

She believes that the spanking as a way to discipline a child is still effective but make sure to top it off with an affectionate hug after.

Chynna Ortaleza, mom of two, attests that being a parent is challenging, but it's also something a parent can endure.

“Nate-test 'yung capacity naming maging patient at saka mag-jumble ng work at family time, tapos relationship time. Hindi siya madali. Pero kaya so far,” she said.

Beauty Queen Miriam Quiambao admits to being a disciplinarian but can also lenient to her children.

One of her household rules is that cellphones are only allowed on weekends. “When we took it out from Joshua, we noticed the ill-effects and withdrawal. Eventually, he adjusted and he's quite disciplined with his digital exposure up to now,” she said.

Lastly, Pauleen imparts how she raises her unica hija, baby Tali. According to Pauleen, she is the disciplinarian between her and husband Vic Sotto although she confirmed that he can also be strict at times.

At the end of the day, if there's one thing these Kapuso Moms have in common, it is that they only wish to raise their child well.
