Remember – you are a role model and what you do makes a difference. Your kids are watching you so don’t just react on the spur of the moment but ask yourself, ‘What do I want to accomplish, and is this likely to produce that result?'”
Believe in yourself!
Be confident in your ability!!
Get things done as soon as they arise. Things can pile up very quickly and get out of hand
Don’t fret the small stuff
follow your instinct
pick your battles
Remember every child is different and just because yours is doing something differently or at a different time to a friends child…that’s ok.
Have fun and play with your children! Don’t let inhibitions or chores get in your way.
Patience – even when it’s the end of a busy and tiring day… and they won’t go sleep…
trust your instincts
It is a learning game and you’ll need to be flexible, adaptable, and patient. It’s going to be tough and follow your heart
Make your child feel confident by always praising each good thing they do or achieve
be encouraging, non judging or critical, most of all show your child you actually like them as well as thta you love them, spend lots of time together
trust your instinct
to listen to your child whatever age 🙂
Pick your battles and don’t stress the small things.
ENCOURAGE AND REWARD
try not to say No to your child unless its a definite never going to happen ‘NO’. we use conditional ‘yes’s instead, so if my child asks for something i will say yes but there is a set of things they must first do for what they want to happen,doing this has made the relationship with my children a lot stronger (also it was scary how often i was saying no!)
teach your children morals and ethics, not just finance and selfish greed 🙂
To be patient and understanding of what your child/children are going through, but also bounderies are impotant:)
Never be too proud or scared to ask for help and support!
Remember that if you’re having a struggle or difficulty with your child, you are not alone! Find a local group of mums with children of similar ages. It’s amazing just how great a support network this can be.
read everything listen to advice. Then…………go with your instincts
Try to really encourage and praise good social interaction from a very early age. It’s probably one of – if not the most important life skill we can learn to grow up truly confident and healthy. It’s so much harder going through life shy and anxious and today’s ‘techy’ obsessed lifestyle of watching too much tv or burying yourself on social media leads to isolation.
Never compare any two children. They all grow and learn at different rates.
Be consistent, give them boundaries and plenty of love. Stick to promises and praise them often.
Establish a good routine !
Don;t sweat the small stuff!!!!
Be consistent. If your rules vary from day to day in an unpredictable fashion or if you enforce them only intermittently, your child’s misbehaviour is your fault, not theirs. Your most important disciplinary tool is consistency. Identify your non-negotiables. The more your authority is based on wisdom and not on power, the less your child will challenge it.
Do what you feel is right for you and your child. Every child is different
Don’t compare yourself and your child to others
Dont stress, we’ve all been there!
Patience. Make sure you praise as much as you tell them off.
Lots of praise
To listen to them and most of all give them your time. Teaching them good manners is also important to me.
Positivity and lots of praise
trust yourself and dont be afraid to ask
Patience and praise. Don’t forget to make time for yourself.
You know your child the best, trust your instincts!
People will always have advice for you. Accept it all with a ‘thank you very much’ then pick and choose the bits that suit you best. You don’t have to follow their advice!
You are a Parent .. not a friend. Set Firm Boundaries and routines
trust your instincts
Trust your own instincts
Have a routine
trust your instincts
expect the unexpected always
Try and be relaxed but cautious
I’d say don’t sweat the small stuff, allow your child to be a child, what you may perceive as naughtiness is a learning experience most of the time! Allow yourself to absorb their amazement with general life, and act child like yourself, it’s very liberating!
Be patient and enjoy the time with your children as they grow up quickly xx
stay calm
Love, patience and never shout!
talk to your friends for advice
