Parenting

Get involved in your child's activities,hobbies and school

It's probably no secret that children who have involved parents are more happy, healthy, and well-adjusted and excel at their educational and extracurricular pursuits. It can increase their cognitive development, keeps them motivated, strengthens the parent-child relationship, and has a direct positive influence on their overall academic achievement.

In turn, it can also help parents achieve a positive outlook on their parenting, increase their own self confidence and self esteem, and will most likely feel more satisfied with their child's educational experience at school.
But where do you get involved? With today's busy schedules between home, work, and school, it may feel that the average family has very little quality time to offer. However, different options and levels of commitment are available to fit every parent's availability, and with some careful planning and dedication, you can make it a positive experience for both yourself and your child.
But the bottom line is get involved and stay involved. Children of involved parents are less likely to get into mischief, have emotional problems, or have problems in school. You benefit by connecting with and staying connected to your child. It's a win-win situation for you both.
Consistency is the key to successful Discipline


Consistency is key to successfully teaching your child right from wrong when disciplining them. It keeps small misdeeds and bad behaviors from later becoming bigger misdeeds and worse behaviors.

You have to stand firm and mean it when you say, "Turn off the television now" or "no dessert after dinner because you didn't touch your dinner." Consistency teaches your child there are defined consequences for misdeeds and inappropriate or unacceptable actions or behaviors.
Inconsistency when disciplining makes you directly responsible for your children's misbehavior and doesn't teach them how to be responsible for their actions.
It's also that each partner is consistent with the discipline. If one parent is too strict and the other is too lenient, the child will key into that and try to manipulate the situation to his or her advantage.
Parents must agree on disciplinary action in advance and make a commitment to one another to be consistent in implementing and following through with the consequences. This can be especially difficult if the child's parents are separated or divorced. Though you may not be together anymore, it's imperative that you parent on common ground
Consistency is about being strong and standing firm, even when doing so is extremely difficult or exhausting. It can sometimes be hard to come home after a hard day at work only to find a hard night of parenting in front of you.
Your child will consistently test the boundaries and 'push the envelope' with you to see if there's any play in those consequences. By standing firm you are showing there is not and that you expect them to do nothing less than take responsibility for their actions.


Stop Bribing Your Kids


Bribing your kid to behave may seem like a good idea at the time,but it'll end up doing more harm than good.Instead of promising a reward if she does what you ask,let your child find out the result of not obeying the rules on her own.

 HAPPY CHILDREN


We all want our children to be happy - but how much does our own happiness, affect our little ones.Mother's happiness is tied-up with that of her children.

Children with mothers who were happy in their own relationships were happier than those with mothers who were unhappy in a partnership. It also indicated that a mother's well-being and happiness is more important to her offspring than the the happiness and well-being of the father. This could possibly be down to the fact that women show their emotions more readily than men.the happiest children are those living with two parents, either biological or step.Bribing your kid to behave may seem like a good idea at the time,but it'll end up doing more harm than good.Instead of promising a reward if she does what you ask,let your child find out result of not obeying the rules on her own
