Parenting advice for kids that are not yet teenagers is something a lot of parents need. I can not begin to give advice on the teenage years. You will need people a lot more qualified than I am to give you advise on teens, Nope not me, I am not going to even try. Why don't we just concentrate on advice for the younger children. The important years for shaping your children into the person they are going to be.
Most parents will tell you that the job of parenting is rewarding but hard. It is not always easy to be sure you are doing right by your children. The best piece of advice I can give you is to do everything out of love for you child. When punishing your children never do it because of anger, do it out of love instead. Love you children and that will be the best thing you ever did for them.
If you have a toddler there are several things you need to know. A toddler can some times break down and have a temper tantrum. The best way to deal with this is to stop it before it even starts. When a child is at home with Mom or Dad all day it is a good idea to take a walk or something similar to exercise them. Also play with your toddler, and I am not talking about all day long that would not be realistic.
If a toddler is stimulated enough and kept busy for a good portion of the time they will be easier to handle. You will also have less temper tantrums if your toddler is on a schedule. A schedule helps a toddler to know what is going on and what she or he can expect at any certain time. This gives them a secure feeling and they are less likely to break down when it is nap time or bed time.
Once a child has outgrown the toddler years and is now school aged things will begin to change for both of you. A child just starting school feels like a big kid finally. You just have to start treating them like they are a big kid. One piece of good advice is to give your kindergartner a few easy chores, and this will be the beginning of teaching them responsibility. You need to take into consideration the age of the child when you are giving them a chore. You should not expect a five year old to clean the kitchen.
When disciplining school age children especially the younger ones you should expect some melt downs. In kindergarten your child has still not outgrown some of his toddler ways and he may revert back to having a tantrum. This is a great time to teach your child about voicing their feelings. Explain to your child that it is OK to tell you they are mad or frustrated but that it should be done respectfully.
I know that these things are not always going to work on all kids. I also know that sometimes we have to discipline our children a little tougher than what I have suggested. When things get to out of hand with a toddler or an older child it is time for you as the parent to step in and put your foot down. It is good to be nice and understanding to your child but there is a time for hard love and if they need it there is nothing wrong with punishing your child.
Some people prefer not to spank their children, there are several ways to discipline your child with out hitting them. Time outs are great for younger children but what about they kids that are a little older like ten and twelve years old? Do we really expect a time out to work for them? Not likely, and if it does then good for you keep it up. The best thing to do with children this age is take away something they love. Find something they use daily or very often and take it away until they can stop the behavior that caused you to take it in the first place. - 29956
