Good Parenting
When we are kids we are parented by our folks and when we grow up we parent our toddler. So Parenting is a part of everyone’s life from start to finish. Below are some tips and recommendation that can support folks in parenting.
Practice prior to you preach: I am sure all parents know this. You can’t expect your child to stop drinking cold water if you yourself drink it in front of him. kids will never accept prohibition if they see you doing it. For them whatever you do is right.
Consistency: This is the most essential if you want your children to take you seriously.
If you have told your toddler about an outcome of action when he is asked not to do something and you don’t implement it if needed, then your toddler gets the clear message that its fine to break rules as there is no punishment for breaking it.
Let teenager contribute at home: I mean let your kids do some work at home, some things. Of course they shouldn’t be paid for this. The main idea is to make them realize that in a family everyone has to contribute, that’s the concept of a family.
Encourage and praise regularly: Praising and encouraging child is very decisive. This helps them built a positive self image and self esteem which is very much needed at every turn of their life especially in their teens. When they react positively, always praise them. Too much of criticism is not good for toddler. Criticism gives them a bad self image as an aftereffect they have inferiority complex.
Accept their short comings: toddler lack maturity. That’s something we all know, because of which they are incapable to think logically. They can only see one side of any subject matter. And they think that’s the truth. So as a parent learn to accept their thoughts. As they grow up this will change.
Let them be independent: As a parent the goal should be to keep doing less and less things for your child as they keep growing. Pampering them by taking care of everything they need makes them totally dependant on you. At few point in time they will have to go out of the home without you, they will have to face the world alone. You need to prepare them for that from the childhood.
Be a good role model: Remember that teenager are very good imitators. They do what they see. As they see their parents very closely so it’s quite natural that they imitate them in every way. So always remember that you are being watched.
So basically the trick is to keep in mind what we want our preschooler to be when they grow up. We have to start molding them that way since childhood. Read more articles on parenting and to download few free parenting e-Books visit the below website.
