Compliment your kids on the good things they do

Compliments are a win-win on the giving and receiving ends. Compliments build self-esteem, help kids understand what is expected of them and let them know that other people can look up to them.

Let your kids be kids

Childhood is short, and the demands of adulthood come on quickly. Help preserve your children’s sense of wonder and exploration. Let them be silly, clumsy, cry when they’re scared, and make mistakes. Life is a learning experience.

Admit your mistakes and say you’re sorry

Kids fear failure and want to do the right thing, just like us. If their parents can admit to a mistake and apologize, mistakes can be used to teach lessons in a positive way. After all, we are human, not superhuman.

Turn off the TV

While a weekly family night in front of the TV can be fun, informative and bonding, too much TV interferes with family interaction, a child’s natural inclination to self-amuse and discover and become a battleground when a parent tries to limit TV watching.

Set clear boundaries and expectations for your children

We can’t be successful in our jobs if we do not receive direction as to what is expected of us. The same goes for our children. If a rule is non-negotiable, be consistent and firm.

Waffling on boundaries and expectations is an open invitation to push back. This doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind if you come to realize that a boundary or expectation is unreasonable. Remember, you can admit to a mistake.

Meet your children’s friends and their parents

It’s important to get to know the parents of your children’s friends. There will inevitably come a time when your child will want to stay over or attend a party.

You’ll want to know that the other parents will appropriately supervise the activity. Even with a simple play date for younger kids, it’s well worth the extra effort to know your child is in a safe and supervised environment.

Accept that you don’t have to be perfect, just be real

Our kids may think we’re perfect, and have the answers to everything, but that stage doesn’t last very long.

If perfection is a goal, no one is ever going to measure up. Being real, making and learning from mistakes, having questions, and sometimes feeling overwhelmed is human, and helps our kids understand that they’re not expected to be perfect either.

Trust your instincts

We don’t always have time to consult with the experts, our friends or family. Trust your instincts and listen to your gut.

Ask for help when you need it

Meeting the needs of our children is a full time job, often in addition to work outside the home and other outside factors. No one is up to every task and no one has all the answers. Seek help from family, friends, and your community.
