Parenting Tips( # 002)

Before, I proceed to my topic let’s define the meaning of parent and parenting?

What is parent?

Well…. Parent is referring to being a father or mother to a child. The proper role of the parent is to provide encouragement, support, and access to activities that enable the child to master key developmental tasks. A parent is their child's first teacher and should remain their best teacher throughout life.(Wikipedia).

And what is Parenting all about?

Parenting or child rearing is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood(Wikipedia).

 Many will agree with me that… It is not easy to become parent…It requires a lot of hard work...just like a roller coaster rides… siblings are not alike to each other…

Raising a family while keeping your life balanced is an art form…

No parent is perfect…

Either….

No child is perfect too…

….Here some tips to parent to raise their children…

Nr. 01.  Accept that life changes when you have a child. Accept that being a parent is our responsibility to our children. It’s our definite role to accept when we have a child.

Nr. 02. Punishing a child is not a good practice. Instead of punishing them, find ways to assist them to realize their mistake and explain to them if they committed a wrongful doings. 

Nr. 03. Identify your child's strengths. Their strength can be useful for you as parent to build your child’s self-esteem, helping to provide the confidence he or she needs to tackle whatever seems difficult.

Nr. 04. Do not compare your siblings.  If a child thinks his or her brother or sister is favored, it can create a rivalry that may last the rest of their lives and cause problems in your family. Make sure your kids know that they are loved equally.

Nr. 05. Children need positive attention. If they do not receive positive attention from family, they may choose to seek out negative attention to others. Negative attention is still attention for them children feel better of it rather than being ignored. So understand that child need your attention. 

NR. 06 Communicate with your child as often as you can. Through this communication children feel the Love and care it’s an emotional attachment to them as parent.

Nr. 07. Monitor your child’s use of the Internet. Nowadays children is at the early age know how to use internet, social media and gadget that can have negative influence to a child.  

Nr. 08. Also monitor your child companion outside your homes. Remind them having many friends is good for their social development but if friends were having a negative influence to your child teach your child how to handle it. Avoid your child to dragged or be involved in any negative activity such as vices like use of alcohol, smoking, use of illegal drugs and teenage trouble.

Nr. 09. Be a good example.  Avoid negative emotional reactions, such as anger, sarcasm, and ridicule. If you behave badly, you are giving them permission to act in the same ways. Don’t lose your temper  in front of the children. Children often adopt the behavior of person they live. As they say “like parent like children”. 

Nr. 10. Don't give up on your child. No matter what… All of your child's problems can be worked through with humor, goodwill, and perseverance. With their parental support, even the most troublesome teens can become amazing people.
