natural parenting

Natural parenting is an approach that emphasizes nurturing a child's development by respecting their innate needs and natural rhythms. It often involves practices like breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby-led feeding, and gentle discipline, prioritizing emotional connection and responsiveness. The goal is to foster trust, security, and independence by aligning parenting methods with the child's biological and emotional cues, promoting a harmonious and intuitive relationship between parent and child. This philosophy values minimal intervention, understanding individual differences, and encouraging a child's natural exploration and growth.
