How long does positive parenting take to see effects?

[Molehillmountain]

I have got into negative patterns of parenting especially with six year old dd. if I make a huge effort to change the way I am with her, to notice the positive and drop small battles, how long might it take to see real results in our relationship? Her behaviour isn't dreadful but I couldn't say it's a pleasure for us to be together. I know it will take work over time

I don't know that it would take as long as you might think - IME positive approaches, especially playful parenting, can have almost instantaneous results in terms of better feedback and a lighter atmosphere.
