Best Parenting Tips

by


I have had the chance to interview many mothers, grandmothers, dads and asked them what they think the most important tips for any parent. These are the top tips that they gave me:

-Say “I Love You” all the time, you will never spoil your child with too much love
-Be loving to your spouse in front of your children
-Disagree with your spouse in front of your child, it is okay to let them see you disagree, but let them see you make up also. This will teach them to men conflicts.
-Love your children the same but treat them individually, every child has weaknesses and strengths and needs to be parented with those in mind
-Kids not only need discipline but crave it and it shouldn’t be confused with punishment
-Give your child a variety of foods and keep trying them, it may take a dozen times before kids decide they like something
-Eat together. No matter how busy you are try and eat together at least once a day
-Discuss your day with your child, then ask them about their day
-Read to your children as often as you can
-Trust Your mom instincts, if you think something is wrong with your child you are probably correct
-Put your baby to sleep drowsy but not asleep, this will teach them to put themselves to sleep
-Remember the dishes will wait. Messy house can always be cleaned a child is only a child who wants you to play with them for a short while

Today is delurking day, show me some love and tell me what your favorite parenting tip that was given to you is.
