> You will learn techniques for good parenting skills when you allow your child to win (sometimes) and make sure that he/she loses (as well) in the battles that the both of you will soon to face. There will be times that calls for you to disapprove your child's actions and attitude, but you do not want to be in a way that will traumatize your child. Remember that too much of criticism is not going to do any good in any parent and child relationships.
Just because now that your child is taller than you doesn't mean that they are more matured and ready for anything that this world can offer them. Many parents face the problem of trying to find the right solutions to help their child with their problems so rest assured you are not the only parent with this problem. Parenting a child takes a lifetime. Being a parent is nothing but a priceless job. Even after all of your children have grown up, they will still come to you for advice.
To be happy (blissfully) is what most parents want for their child. By allowing your child to experience his/her, life to its fullest on their terms within a safe boundaries level of responsibilities is considered as the greatest gift to give your child. As young as one-year-old, your child can start learning self-reliance.
Always relate your command as a statement, and never as a your child a question - Most parents are prone to saying, "Would you like to star doing your homework now?" and other commands which should always be stated using a firm voice such as saying, "It's time to work on your homework now", which can help you gain more cooperation from your child. Start to establish house rules - For instance, if your house rule is that bedtime should be at 8 pm, simply state the rule. By using rewards - You can focus on your child's positive attitude instead of the negatives by trying to put a marble in a jar when ever your child starts doing something for the first time that you asked which in turn provides more cooperation from your child.
Most parents often think that they know better and having that mind set is the biggest part of the problem because parent actually don't always know what's better fro their child. Going out alone is just not an option for children any more. However, as kids approach the age of ten or maybe eleven they may start to rebel against this as a lot of their school friends are already permitted to go off and play by themselves. Do you attend parent evenings (PTA's)? A child may not always mention this meeting so you should be an active parent within the child's school.
> After finding that your family is now beginning to enjoy the family quality time and are beginning to look forward to your family spending more time together, they may even ask that family dinners be extended. If your family want to spend more time together by extending night time dinners, then you will know for sure that indeed good memories are made. Always remember that it's important to always start small to make family changes. Your family will need time to adapt and to absorb this new family dinning time experience. It's better to make gradual routine changes as opposed to major drastic changes that will certainly bring about all kinds of objections amongst your family. If family bonding time begins your family members feel good then they are most likely to want to experience the family bonding time again so keep the conversation light, bubbly, happy, inspirational and upbeat for the whole family.
> Also, there should be a timeout for issues that have been brought up earlier and the issues should be continued at a later time which is another solution for enjoying stress memories.
