What is Fafo Parenting, and why is it becoming increasingly popular among parents? Know about it in detail.

What is Fafo Parenting? In Fafo Parenting, children are allowed to experience the consequences of their decisions, which helps them learn and become responsible.

What is Fafo Parenting: Sometimes the greatest lessons are learnt when we let our children fall rather than protect them from getting hurt, so that they learn to get up on their own. This ideology has now emerged with a new name in the world of parenting. In simple words, this is the method where parents let the child see the consequences of his actions instead of interrupting him repeatedly. 

What is Fafo parenting?

 

 

FAFO means warn the child, give him guidelines, but once he has made a decision, let him experience the natural consequences of his decision. Provided that it does not endanger his physical or emotional safety. Overall, keep an eye on him, but let him do everything on his own, i.e. try to make him self-reliant. 

 

Why is it becoming increasingly popular?

Many parents feel that due to 'gentle parenting' children are often unable to face failures. FAFO fills this gap. Its experience and example is going viral on social media. Especially in those families where they want to make their children responsible by giving them a chance to make decisions and make mistakes. Its supporters believe that it can prepare them for self-reliance, risk and the real world. 

What do children learn?

FAFOs help children learn to take small risks, often through decision-making, facing the consequences, and making better decisions next time. Proponents say it can help build confidence, problem-solving skills, and common sense, provided parents keep guidelines and boundaries clear. 

How to follow balanced FAFO tips

• First communicate and warn, then let the consequences happen, but ensure safety
• Start with small, less-threatening experiences
• Don't stop giving emotional support, 'tough love' does not mean emotional exemption
• Constantly monitor and limit things, and intervene when necessary. 

Fafo parenting gives children the opportunity to learn from failure and become responsible, but it should be adopted thoughtfully and with safe boundaries, not indiscriminately. The right balance makes it effective and safe.
