3 Supernanny Tips For Parenting Young Children
However, I'll still share some of my best parenting tips with you today, because I believe that it's important to keep oneself informed and up-to-date as a parent. As long as you are able to sort out the bad stuff and apply the good, then I'm sure you'll raise some wonderful children... In this article, we'll talk about rules and consequences, how to make lists and finally we'll talk a bit about why you should remember to praise your child. Rules and consequences One of the things you must teach your child is that there are rules and consequences. If your child behaves, she'll be rewarded, but if she breaks stuff, she must do the right thing and help repair it or replace it. We live in a world where everything we do has some sort of consequence. Good or bad. It's your job to teach your child how to foresee the consequence of her actions. It's not necessarily easy, but it's important... As long as she lives at home, she'll have you to help her make the right choices and make everything right again, when she'd done something wrong. But, eventually she'll be all alone out there in the big unforgiving world and the best thing you can do for your child is to prepare her for that world as much as possible... One way to do so, is to be consequent when she doesn't behave... If she won't stop screaming when you take her shopping, she won't get an ice cream. If she smashes all her toys, she won't get any new (for a period of time) and so on... Making Lists One thing I did with my daughter was to make a list of things she should do every day. My daughter is five years old, so the things are pretty basic. If she does all the things, every day, without any trouble, then she'll get a reward once a week. That's a pretty basic system, but it work wonders. Your list could be everything from behaving properly too taking out the trash... just don't make it too complicated. In my case, my daughter had some issues with keeping her things organized and tidy up her toys... So, her "chores" is to put everything back on its place when she's done playing with it and stuff like that... I hope you see the point here. Don't focus on the bad all the time The final important thing here, is to remember to praise her when she's done something good. Tell her what a big girls she's become and how wonderful it is that she'll help you taking out of the trash or whatever it is... If you only pay attention to her when she's done something bad or when she won't listen, naturally, she'll seek your attention by not listening or messing up her room...
