摘要: Today’s parents are challenged with great expectations. Within the turmoil of work and family, parents’ mutual relationship can become the key for maintaining their own and their children’s well-being. A topical and important question is how to cherish the parents’ mutual relationship so that it supports spouses’ lives and reflects positively on children’s upbringing and parenting. This chapter describes the challenges of positive parenting and the means of cherishing parents’ relationships from Finnish parents’ perspectives. The perspective in this chapter is fundamentally positive: Good parenting supports the parents’ mutual relationship as well as appreciates and cares about the child; good parenting does not abandon the child or spouse even when his or her behavior causes disappointments and trouble. Together the family can encourage and strengthen the family members’ resources.
