Your emotions are valid

Parenting is hard. You might feel stressed, tired, angry, and divested at the same time. Don’t ignore these feelings. You need to acknowledge them and try to solve them. If you don’t do so, you are going to have a problem raising your child. You cannot be happy and raise happy children if you don’t solve your problems at first.

No Negative approach

Kids make mistakes. This is their job. They don’t come to the world with every knowledge. So, if they have done something that is not correct or appropriate, try to make them understand. Tell them what they did wrong and why they should not do it again. Parents need to respect their needs positively. Don’t make it a negative thing for them. Make it a learning

moment.

 

Accept your mistakes

As a human being, you are allowed to make mistakes. If you haven’t done something wrong, try to acknowledge it to your child. This would not make you a smaller person. It creates a precedent for your child that it is ok to make mistakes and accepting it makes it easy to come back from it. Children don’t learn from our statements; they adapt from

our deeds.

Don’t find faults, look for opportunities to compliment

If a child is always notified about their mistakes and is not appreciated, they will start to think negatively. This will set in their mind that they do only the wrong things, So, appreciate the things that your child does. So, compliment them on their achievements.
