Know What It Takes To Be A Proud Parent

In Guide 

Being a parent is hard work but it does have great rewards. Children are our best chance to make a difference in the world. What they become depends on how they are raised, taught and the opportunities they are given. They depend on their parents for everything for the first dozen years of their life.

Take advantage of carpools when sending your children to school. A carpool allows you to not have to shuttle your children back and forth to school every day. It also gives your children some extra socialization time with the neighbors. You save time, and save on gas as well.

Parents must be careful not to apply too much pressure when children reach their teenage years and get ready to pick a college. Teenagers will often rebel against their parents’ wishes if they feel they are being overly controlling.

A great parenting tip is to let your child make their own decisions sometimes. When you always make decisions for your child, they’ll grow up being incapable of making their own decisions. This can really hurt them in the long run. Give your child a little independence sometimes.

If you are a new mom of twins, ASK FOR HELP! Not asking for help is one of the worst things that moms of twins do. Having newborn twins is not the same as having one baby. Take anyone and every one’s offer of help whether doing some grocery shopping, running the dishwasher, or just sitting with the sleeping babies for you to get a break. You will be a better mom for it.

A great parenting tip is to admit when you’re wrong. Don’t think that just because you’re older, that you’re smarter and always know what’s right. Admitting when you’re wrong will make your child respect you more and they’ll be more likely to listen to you when you have something to say.

If you’re interested in boosting your child’s cognitive development, consider limiting the amount of time they spend watching television each day. Research indicates that hours spent watching tv has an inverse relationship with academic performance – the more hours spent watching tv, the lower the grades tend to be.

If your child likes to take their pajamas and diapers off while they are in their crib or unattended, try this neat little trick. Cut the feet off of an old pair of footsie pajamas and put them on your child backwards. It will make it so they cannot unzip them and take them off.

Even though it may be an uncomfortable topic for parents to discuss, it is very important that you talk to your children about drugs while they are still young. This way, once they hit the age when peer pressure is common, they will know that drugs are not good for them.

Even though most parents work hard to give their children everything they need, sometimes it is not enough. I have two children and four grandchildren and believe the one thing children need from their parents is to know they are loved. Just giving them material things is not enough.
