Our baby is growing! 7 Years!

Isabelle Sofia is now 7 years old. Every day she gets taller and beautiful. Isabelle is now starting to develop her own self-concept. She now acts the way she wants, not that she's a bad girl but with a little more freedom. She does things that she knows are right. The way Arwa and I raise our daughter is the way she will act, so we try to raise her very carefully and with lots of respect, responsibility, care and love so that she acts she can show others that we are good parents because we know how to raise her.


We are very caring parents but at the same time we impose some respect to our daughter. So we are consider authoritarian parents. We set down some rule that we expect for Isabelle to follow and if she does not follow them she gets punishments. When Isabelle does something wrong, which is very rare, she knows that she’ll get a punishment.


I would consider for us to be permissive parents because we are not so demanding on many things but what we always demand for Isabelle to do is respect others. When she asks for permission to go out with her friend Christine she will always get it. We trust a lot Isabelle, because so far she has proved to us that she’s a good girl.


Putting these two types of parents together will lead us to the type of parents I really think we are. We are authoritative parents. This is because we set some rules that we hope our little girl will follow and if she doesn’t then we don’t give her permission to do some of the things she would like to do. We are very open parents and we will always listen to what Isabelle need to say to us.


We think Isabelle feels very comfortable with the way we are because she finds a way to tell us how she feels and feels comfortable with that. We show hot much we care for her and how much we love her.
