Raising kids is one of the toughest and most fulfilling jobs in the
world, (at least to me and many other parents I know)— and the
one for which you might feel the least prepared.
I have put together few tips, that helped me fill I am working
towards the right direction as a parent
1.Put Limits and Be Consistent With Your Discipline
Discipline is necessary in every household. The goal of discipline is
to help kids choose acceptable behaviours and learn self-control.
They may test the limits you establish for them, but they need those
limits to grow into responsible adults.
Establishing house rules helps kids understand your expectations
and develop self-control.
You might want to have a system in place: one warning, followed by
consequences such as a "time out" or loss of privileges. A common
mistake parents make (and I struggled with this and still do) is
failure to follow through with the consequences. You can't discipline
kids for talking back one day and ignore it the next. Being
consistent teaches what you expect.
2. Hold kids being good
Have you ever stopped to think about how many times you react
negatively to your kids in a given day? You may find yourself
criticising far more often than complimenting. How would you feel
about a boss who treated you with that much negative guidance,
