25.01.2022 I want THAT! Do your kids keep saying this? You know when you’re out shopping for the essentials and your child sees something and they just can’t live without it?! We’ve all been there. This is where you need to be firm with them, not only for your financial peace-of-mind, but also for your future calmness and belief in your child’s life choices. Three things children need to understand are:... 1. They can’t have everything they want immediately. Life just doesn’t work that way. Now, this doesn’t mean you can’t have what you want, ever. You can set a goal and aim directly for it, but, this also means you have to work for it. 2. They can get most things in life if they’re prepared to work for it. The benefits of working for the things you want are huge. For one thing, your child develops a real sense of achievement when they reach their goals. This helps them develop a healthy self-worth because they know they are capable of doing the things they have already done. Parents need to be able to set the task, teach or demonstrate the skill required to do it, and stand back and watch the child attempt it. Be prepared for failure to occur, or the perfect outcome not to be reached, the first, second, or even the fifth time. With some kids, it might take a lot more attempts to get it right, or nearly right. This is where patience is necessary on the parent’s side. You might need to have more than you can imagine, but you need to have it, otherwise the lesson for YOU (the parent) will be lost. 3. The challenges of life give us the best lessons. Imagine if everything in your life happened just as you wished it, without any mishaps, struggles or pain. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well, at first it does, but if you reflect on that further, can you also imagine the type of person you would become if nothing ever went wrong in your life and everything you said and wanted, happened just the way you said it? Do you think you might become a tad arrogant? Or bored? Or not be very empathetic with those around you who have struggles to deal with in life? In fact, it’s the challenges in life that test us best. They give us the best lessons from which to learn and as a parent who loves your child, you need to provide a safe learning environment for your child. That’s why you start with the small things (like packing away toys) and gradually progress all the way up to the larger and more responsible/potentially harmful things (like driving a car). Your child is going to challenge you that’s what parenting is all about. Likewise, you need to challenge your child that’s what best practise parenting is all about. Photo via Burst

12.01.2022 It is OK to say NO to your child. This is something that many of today’s parents are confused about. On the one hand they want to raise the perfect child who is well-mannered and knows how to behave in all situations. On the other hand, they don’t want to assume the mantle of a tyrant and keep such strict controls over their young child that they will be repressed and forever lacking in self-esteem and self-control that they may be the unwilling victim of bullying for the... rest of their life. I firmly believe that too many behavioural problems are caused by the lack of the word NO at the right time. Neither should it be the only word your child hears during their toddler years, so you must remain calm and clear, and be prepared to let them explore the world around them, but within safe limits.
