Psychology / Parenting
English term or phrase: wimpy parent
Babies have brigther futures if parents learn about child development, specially the experiences of the first few years that are critical in setting up a child for a healthy start in life. Children benefit when parents develop warm relationships with them, supervise and support them, and use effective discipline practices. Both parents should avoid a “wimpy parent” or “dictator” style of parenting.
