Parenting Tips - Parentline's parenting pointers
– If your method of dealing with a situation is not working, try another way of dealing with it
– Give children choices and let them be involved in some decision-making. This helps their confidence and prepares them for involvement in the outside world
– Encourage independence - ask yourself “what’s the worst that can happen if I don’t interfere in this situation?”
– Discuss clearly the behaviour that is acceptable to both you and your child and agree on the consequences if they do not comply with the rules. It’s better if the discipline imposed does not cause resentment.
Negotiate! Negotiate! Negotiate!....– Take time out in an emotional situation. Deal with the issues when both of you are calm
– Separate the behaviour from the person. Ensure the child knows he/she is loved and accepted, it is the behaviour that is unacceptable
– Remember everybody is learning – the child and the parent – nobody can get everything perfect every time
