Parenting Tips - Building the Relationship

  • Parent through love, not fear. Think of the relationship you will have with your child when he/she is an adult
  • Children feel secure when they know and understand their boundaries
  • Children sometimes like to hear ‘no’ - they are often just testing you
  • Gently encourage good habits, manners etc., that will stand to them for life
  • Correct negative behaviour in private at an appropriate time
  • Children must accept the consequences of their actions
  • Positive attention, emphasising what’s good, works best
  • You can’t put an old head on young shoulders, we all learn from experience
  • Try not to let your own moods affect your response to negative behaviour
  • Give time and attention to your child
  • Talk when your child is ready
  • Everybody is different
    • each child is different
    • you are different at every stage of your life
    • each situation is different
    • your relationship with each of your children is different
