Hello everyone,I am new to this platform.Hope you all have a good time.Did someone say that parenting was easy?That it was all about child relaring and making a few choices?One can't be more wrong.
Being a parent is one of the most demanding and challenging roles to taken on.Of course,hard work pays,and when it comes to parenting,the rewards are the immense joys and pleasures that our children bring us.
However,dealing with issues like disobedience,tantrums, conflict,and household responsibilities can sometimes make parenting seem unmanageable and distressing.
Here are few tips to make parenting a joyful experience.
1.Respect ur child Simple things like letting your child express his/her feelings without stopping him,allowing him to make safe choices like which clothes to wear,which flavour of icecream to eat,accepting his/her ‘No’when they doesn't want to be cuddled.
2.Adapt your parenting to they age and personality Positive parenting tips are aplenty, but you must understand that you cannot use the same guidelines for a 2 year old and a 12 year old. 3.Build self esteem. Parenting tips go along way towards nurturing self esteem in kids.Always keep in mind that your child sees himself through your eyes.The way you treat him tells him how he deserves to be treated.If you are always yelling at him or treating him with disdain,his self esteem never has a chance to grow.
4.Love unconditionally
Love is a powerful glue that binds a family together and fortifies the relationship that members share with each other.So love your child unconditionally and find ways to make him understand that.Avoid unnecessary criticism or comparisons,and don't forget to praise,appreciate or compliment your child at least once a day.
5.Make time for your kids. It's often hard for parents and kids to get together for a family meal,let alone spend quality time together.But there is probably nothing kids would like more.Getup 10 minutes earlier in the morning so youn can eat breakfast with your child or leave the dishes in the sink and take walk after the dinner.Kids who aren't getting the attention they want from their parents often act out or misbehave because they are sure to be noticed that way.
6.Be a good role model. Young kids learn a lot about how to act by watching their parents.The younger they are,the more cues they take from you.Before you lash out or blow your top infront your child,think about this is that how you want your child to behave when angry?Be aware that you're constantly being watched by your child.Studies have shown that children who hit usually have a role model for aggression at home.
