subject: Positive Parenting Tips- These 2 Should Point You In The Right Direction! [print this page] There are literally dozens of positive parenting tips that can be extremely useful. However, there are two that stand head and shoulders above the rest; especially if you are struggling to maintain positive child discipline in your household.
Let's get right to it. Positive parenting tip number one has to do with letting go of the past. As I just said, if you are a struggling parent, you probably have a lot on your mind. This tip can be used in a variety of ways. Let me explain.
If you are in the midst of a parenting storm with your children, you are probably fighting just to keep your head above water, and maybe even, your family from falling apart. You can not underestimate how much this all may be affecting you.
Especially if you are a woman, you are probably working outside of the house, and you are the mainstay in the house. In other words, you probably do more than half of the chores around the house, (especially if your children are very young), and you make many of the decisions pertaining to the day to day running of the house. If you are a single parent, then your busy life probably feels out of control from time to time.
This is why parenting tip number one talks about letting go of the fact that things may not have lived up to the way you thought they would be. You also, may not have lived up to what you thought you could do as a parent. And because of how busy things are, you may have lived in chaos for some time now! You have to learn to let go of all of this. Let go of how long things haven't been right, and how you could maybe have done more, or made better decisions, etc., etc.
You must tell yourself, and believe, that you have done the best you could. If you have made mistakes, that make you just this: a human being! However, if things need to be improved, you must also commit to taking positive action, which you are doing right now by reading this article. You just have to keep on moving in a positive direction!
There's so much more to be said about tip number one, but, for the sake of time, we'll move on to positive parenting tip number two. The second tip actually relates to the first tip, in that it actually explains why your children misbehave. It will help relieve you of any guilt you may be having trouble letting go of. You should make sure you are sitting down for this!
There is a reason that will explain at least 90 per cent of your child's misbehavior. It is a bit of story, so, for the complete version, go to positive parenting tips for u!
In a nutshell, you are not responsible for your child's misbehavior because you didn't know, until now, that your forms of child discipline were causing them to act up. When you yell at, scream at, embarrass, or punish your children, it causes them fear and stress. Even when you use a system of rewards, this can cause them stress because they fear not successfully completing the task! This all then causes extra cortisol to be made up and sent to the brain, which in turn, causes them to act up more.
We yell at them before and after they act up, and it all causes them to act up even more. When I first learned about this it all made sense, and I wondered why I hadn't thought of it before. I also felt bad because I was actually perpetuating this cycle, which makes positive parenting tip number one handy.
One more major point. This information is vital to act on because the long term effects of cortisol can be devastating. Teenage delinquency and sociopathic behavior and tendencies can result from continued exposure to extra cortisol!
