Parenting Advice And Wisdom From The Trenches

By Rodelyn Pelaiz


From the time to time, it would appear that parents and their children engage in playing a psychological type of game together. You shouldn't underestimate your kids and how much they know no matter at what age they are. Your children care for you but have no issue with taunting you once in awhile. But keep mind they are mainly just trying to get what they want. Teach them that life will not always work that way, and maybe their behavior will reflect that.

We all need to know that we thought of as good people. They will be extended these warm feelings from the folks they come in contact with over time. Kids of every age need to be comforted and feel that they loved. It is vital that you show an abundance of this emotion even when they are exerting bad behavior. Even when your children are in trouble; you can exert your authority without making them feel like you don't care anymore. You as a parent have given this task and should welcome it so your child will be a better person.

Talking and moving are two things children want to do as soon as they can. When toddlers are just beginning to walk, their legs don't hold their bodies up very well. Toddlers don't have much coordination, which can make walking difficult, and this can easily lead to a temper tantrum. Do all you can to encourage and understand where they are coming. Your children are testing you and watching how you respond everything they do, so don't forget it.

Children are imitators of others, especially parents, so you need to be aware of that. Since your children are watching your every move, you need to be careful how you react in all of your situations. Of course, we all have our moments when we are not at our best. You want to set a positive example for your children, and that is the best that can expected. There will be moments when you act in a way that you would like to do over, but since you can't, the best thing to do is to talk to your children. There is nothing wrong with admitting to your children that you might have reacted in a wrong way. Children are amazingly understanding and forgiving, and this kind of communication will go far.

It is easy to make choices when things are going well, but that isn't always the case, as all parents know. Many situations can be more complicated than the other, too. As much as possible, you need to know everything that could happen. Conditioned behavior is sometimes in play, especially in these tougher situations. Support of others is sometimes the best solution, so find other parents you can reach out. You can find many places on the web where you can join a parenting forum, for instance. These can be great because most people there will be genuine and sincere or maybe they will all be supportive.

Many times these tougher situations can be chronic in nature, so there is some conditioned behavior at play. These are not times for going it alone, so finding other parents for support is a good idea. Parents all go through similar things, and online forums for parents will help you connect with other parents. There is no reason to hesitate, when thinking about joining one of these groups, because the people are just like you. We try to get important thoughts on being responsible and such across to our kids but constantly have to remind them. You keep thinking they will get it eventually, but they don't seem to. In this case, it would be necessary to go one step further and get them to realize that the fastest way to learn is to listen.
