30 Surefire Ways To Raise An Independent Child

---

Discipline tips to use with your tween Take a coach approach: Coaches use questions beginning with what and how to help team members reach their goals, says Carson. Push the rewind button: When possible, give your child a second chance. And thank her when she gets it right, says Carson. If your eight-year-old is late for school because she had trouble getting up in the morning, make bedtime earlier the next few nights rather than revoking her TV privileges.

The best consequences are the ones whereby your child learns something. A seismic power struggle. Typical trouble spots Backtalk: These are prime years for backtalk as tweens gain independence and want to see how you respond if they exert control, says Michele Borba, author of The Big Book of Parenting Solutions. Explain your position, listen to his, and then compromise where you can. If your year-old wants to bump up his bedtime to 10 p.

Use when and then: Whenever your tween uses a sassy tone or engages in yelling, name-calling, put-downs or insults , call her on it immediately, says Borba. Typical trouble spots Major attitude: Keep setting appropriate limits: Sit down with your teen in late August and hammer out the rules for the upcoming school year. Remember as well to build in more freedom and responsibility as your child grows. If you can do that, you can do no wrong.

Set clear rules and expectations. A carefully selected bunch of age-appropriate rules can make family life a whole lot smoother and easier, says Radcliffe.

An age-by-age guide to disciplining your kid

I agree I have done lot of mistakes in bringing him up especially could relate my mistakes after reading this article. Hi I have learnt your article. Hi Nice article on parenting. I would like to add here that now a days parents consider their child as property rather than assests.

I’m thinking of having a baby on my own

Speaking to child on high tone can crippled their mental growth. I think, kids should not be told to outstand in the event, they should, rather, be told to enjoy the event , give their best to the event and not worry about the outcome. Afterall , every kid has talents, but all of them cannot do everything. Like once, I and my kid went to a Lego competition, he participated in the years category, and he was the only 4 year old there , rest of the kids were older.

Bring up responsible kids. Instead discuss good deeds, discuss financial plannings, teaches children the value of money and they will grow up as planned and responsible spenders. Discuss climate change-green cover etc, they will learn to respect their environment. Be very careful what you speak infront of the kids.

Parents can mould their children, the way they want to. Wish these points can be conveyed to the parents who are doing these sometimes subconsciously, unknowingly, those who are underprivoleged socio-economically as well. Those children are much more vulnerable to being wrongly parented as mentioned above. Also, please include a link to share this in Facbook, linked in.

What amazes me ,if you have tried and got positive results out of all these. I suppose , certainly, you must have. Her addiction to watch TV, almost hours a day has put all of us to a lot of inconvenience.

She takes very little interest in her studies, The child has gone simply problem some to deal. The changes in her behavior , I suppose , have taken places after her mother gave birth to another child. A feeling has developed in her mind that all are focused on a tiny child and she is being ignored. We try our best to convince her at every stage but sometimes proves in vain. Though she is good at her health , tremendously fast her in every action -a brilliant mind but often she meets with accidents-falling from cradle, skiing etc.

Hope ,things change to better. We can also add the following: The way is to find solutions for our past mistakes and parents should help children solve it. Now dont bring it to me.

Nice article on parenting. Providing them options for every demand will develop a false hope in them. In life they will not be getting a basket of options always. If something is wrong they should know that it is wrong.

You can provide them with options if there is one available but making it a practice is not right. Infact I have observed that my Son respects my answers and obeys them happily without getting discouraged. Obviously, saying NO to every demands of theirs without analysing the requests first is also not right. Hi Mr Chris, thanks for sharing your personal view!
