Parenting Tips Parents who are patient, loving, kind, and fair are everyday heroes. You are your child's first teacher, role model, inspiration, and moral guide-and it is hard work. But the rewards- healthy, caring, responsible, and productive children who love life-make it all worthwhile. Realize that becoming a parent is the most challenging mission in life. Be prepared to support your child physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially for a lifetime. Spend time with your child. Sharing your time nourishes his heart and soul just as much as food nourishes his body. Pay attention to and listen to your child. She will feel valuable, and will also pay attention to and listen to you. Be consistent. Your child needs to eat and sleep at regular times each day, reasonable rules that stay the same from day to day, and a steady relationship with you that doesn't bounce between big highs and big lows. Set appropriate limits with love. Setting limits constructively, firmly, and with love makes a child's world a safe place. If you're not sure whether he is ready to try something new, ask other parents about their experiences or check with your child's doctor or teacher. Teach your child right from wrong. Children learn values and morals primarily from parents. Be a good role model. By what you do and say, teach him to be honest, fair, responsible, and giving. He will model himself after you, in good ways and bad. Teach him the best lessons you can!

HINTS AND TIPS For Parents TRAVEL TIPS Some travel tips for whatever mode of transportation you are using. Buy each child a backpack with lots of pockets. Buy packages of "age appropriate" little toys, for example: bag of little cowboys and indians, farm animals, color pencils, tablets, and then wrap each one individually to be opened every so often (usually when boredom sets in). Buy and inexpensive cassette player and wrap Buy inexpensive children's age appropriate tapes and wrap individually Buy individually wrapped snacks that are NOT loaded with sugar. You do not want to be stuck on a plane with a child hyped by sugar. Peanut butter and cheese crackers, apples, juice in a box, carrot sticks, raisins, etc. Have a bottle or pacifier handy and have your baby or toddler suck on this while the plane is taking off and landing to keep the ears open and from hurting The wipes that are used for hands are extremely handy and should be in the parents pack Which brings me to you!...Parents, buy yourself a good size backpack with loads of pockets and put your purse in the backpack with things you will need fast like change, traveler checks and tickets in a zippered pocket on or in the backpack. Load it with books (for you> and handheld computer games (like poker, blackjack, car races, etc.) and even the minature travel games like Monopoly, are good, and the snacks. These can all be "stuffed" in the bag quickly if you are pressed for time and then "neatend" later. When you pick up you luggage to go to a rental car, pay the money for a luggage cart and give the kids a ride with the luggage...you then have them all where you can see them and no lugging

The trials and tribulations bring joy and heartache over the years, and just when you think you have it all figured out, your kids move on to the next stage. Even the "experts" don't have all the answers, and here to prove it - a favorite story: There was a widely respected man who taught parenting classes in his community. He was acknowledged as an expert on the joys and challenges of raising children, even though he himself had none. He called his class "Ten Commandments for Parents". Then he met a woman of his dreams, married and eventually had a child. He continued teaching the class now called "Five Suggestions for Parentsl" Soon after he had a second child and renamed the class "Three Tentative Hints for Parents." Finally he and his wife had twins and he stopped teaching the class entirely.

Cease "put downs" directed toward the child/children and other people living in the home. Never compare one sibling to another Give as many hugs as possible, especially at the beginning and end of each day. When disciplining, be calm, clear, firm, fast and fair. Listen to the meaning behind the words your children say. What do they feel?

Three Family Rules for the New Year Obey, Show Respect and Be Kind Rules are important in family life. They clarify expectations and provide opportunities for parents to teach about values. Some parents, however, rely too heavily on rules. They develop lists and family life boils down to a bunch of do's and don'ts. Remember that rules tend to focus on behavior and may miss the heart. But, if you use rules wisely and talk often about why the rules are helpful, you can teach your children a great deal about the values you want to pass on. As you begin making rules for young children, we would suggest three simple rules: Obey Show Respect Be Kind Almost any infraction in family life can fall under one of these three. Having just a few rules is especially good for young children. These three become the basis for most other rules as children get older. Each of them represents an important character quality. These rules are simple and introduce young children to the fact that certain guidelines dictate what's expected in family life. Talk about them often as you teach and discipline your children. This will help to instill a sense of character even at a young age.

Protecting Your Child From Dog Bites According to Pinellas County Animal Services, last year 1,520 dog bites were reported. Other interesting statistics cited are: Dog bite injuries are the number one childhood public health problem reported each year. Approximately 70% of all dog bites involve children. Almost 50% of all children are bitten by age 18. Dog bites represent 5% of all emergency room admissions. 585,000 dog bite wounds require medical care each year. Approximately 1 out of every 20 dogs bites someone each year If you are considering getting a new puppy for your child or currently have one, there are a few simple steps you can take now that will prevent a dog bite in your families future. 1. Properly socialize your puppy. A well-adjusted dog is not a biting dog. Before the age of 16 weeks, your puppy should encounter all of the things he'll see when he's an adult dog - young and old people, disabled people, cars, restaurants, loud noises, other animals, etc. 2. Teach your children to respect life.

Peaceful Parenting Tips Positive parenting means that we teach and guide our children. Because every child is different, this means that we need many parenting strategies in order to be effective. Try some of these tips to help guide and teach your children: Use "I statements" Tell your children how you feel and what you expect from them. For example: "Jake, I feel frustrated when you leave your toys all over the floor, and I need you to pick them up and put them away before dinner time." Pick your battles. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy! Before taking on a conflict with your kids, decide if it is really worth the time and energy you're putting into it. If they want to wear mismatched clothes to school, will it hurt them or someone else? Find a way to let the small things go, so that you don't run out of energy when the important issues come up. Use consequences. Natural consequences, taking away privileges, and firm family rules are excellent ways to manage behavior without yelling or hitting. Many of us need to learn these techniques from someone else, since they don't often come naturally. Take parenting classes, ask other parents who you respect, and read parenting books to get ideas that will work for your family.

Tips for Parents to Help Youth Kids Home Alone Many parents face the question of whether or not they should leave their children on their own during the day. If you are wondering whether or not your children are old enough to be left alone, first call your Child Protection Services to find out the minimum legal age at which they can be on their own. Then consider their ages and abilities. Determine that they are able to follow directions, and then set up a plan. Practice: "This is what will happen when you are on your own. . . ." Once you have decided that it is safe to leave your children home alone, teach them about safety issues: They should never open the door for anyone (nor peek through the blinds to look); Instruct them to stay in the house until you come home; Teach your children how to answer the phone and take messages without indicating they are alone; Use caller ID or an answering machine to screen calls;

HOME FamilyGrowth Publishing Christian Counseling Associates Professional Speaking Now Available for Families Facing Terminal Illness Teaching Your Kids to be Green Thumbs by Larry E. Quicksall You can tell that spring is around the corner when Wal-Mart and K-Mart put out the garden displays. This spring why not start a fun summer-long project with your kids of any age: plant a garden in the backyard. Go to the backyard and let your child pick a small patch of ground to be his or her garden. Then, go to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Rural King, or wherever and let your child pick out a few seed packets to plant. You may have to help them make appropriate choices for your garden size and climate, but mostly let them decide. When the soil temperature is just right go out and work the soil in a fun way and plant the seeds. Use a calendar to set aside time to water and weed the garden. Also, mark on the calendar when the time of harvest should be, which is usually found on the back of the seed packets. Use the garden to teach how different plants take longer to grow, how some only bear one fruit (radish), while others bear fruit all season long (tomatoes). Teach them how some plants have to die and dry out before you use them, such as beans that you want to dry on the vine before you pick, so you can make soup later in the year. At the end of the season you can teach how some plants go to seed for next year (lettuce). There are many things you can teach with a garden, and have fun while doing it.

Florida's PREMIERE Family Magazine Parenting Tips III by Dr. Sally Goldberg, Author and Parenting Specialist 1. Enjoy your role as your child's first and most important teacher. Teach all you can to your child about all aspects of life and then hug, hug, hug as much as you can all the time. 2 Act natural and be yourself. Laugh with, talk with, and sing with your child whenever and however you want. 3. Share happy experiences with your child and build a positive relationship. Parenting effectiveness depends less on what you do and more on how you do it. 3. Always try to set up situations for success. If you don't, you may end up being the cause of many of the problems. 4. Be all that you can be. Discipline comes from the word disciple, and disciples are teachers who model their teachings. 5. Have high expectations for your child, and you are likely to see them fulfilled. 6. Always make your expectations clear to your child. It is best to say in advance exactly what you want your child to do in upcoming situations. 7. Be sure to set up all consequences ahead of time. That is fair. Be sure to carry out whatever consequences are necessary. That is being consistent.

Florida's PREMIERE Family Magazine Parenting Tips I by Dr. Sally Goldberg, Author and Parenting Specialist Take care of yourself before you start your baby or childcare. You will do a much better job if you are not tired, hungry, or overworked. Always be on the lookout for conditions and circumstances that will cause your baby or child difficulty. Sometimes you will get all your clues from what is going on at the moment. Other times you can use past experience to help you. Whenever something goes wrong, learn from it so that you will be able to set it up better for the next time. Continually keep explaining to your child what you expect. You are your child's first and most important teacher. You may know exactly how you want your child to act in a particular circumstance, but he may not know as much as you think. Use praise and encouragement appropriately. Reserve praise for major accomplishments. Use encouraging remarks continually as you observe your child. Phrases like, "Pretty colors" and "sturdy tower" generate your child's self-praise like, "Good for me" and "I did that well." This process reduces the dependency on adult praise and helps to build child self-esteem.

What can I do or what can I use to make God real to my children on a daily basis? See this page in: Indonesian A parent asks: We have two little girls - Pamela turned six yesterday and Patty was four last October. Every evening my husband and I try to have a quiet time with the kids. We read from the Bible storybook; then we share what we did throughout the day. And we also pray. We’re trying to teach the kids that the Lord is always with them, every moment of the day. He is not somebody who has to be "officially" approached - "Oh-my-let’s go-before-God!" But I’m still looking for more ways to make God real for my kids. Well, I think you’re already doing a great job by reading to the girls from Christian books and praying with them. Little sentence prayers about simple things the children think about are best. As for other things you can do, you might occasionally read a story to your girls and then act out the story to apply the message to their lives. And if you read a story about being kind just before going to bed, try to do something nice for someone the very next morning as you remind them, "Remember our story last night before bed? Let’s be kind to Mrs. Jones next door today, shall we?" Also, one of the best tools you can invest in is a little tape recorder children can have right by their beds so they can play Scripture tapes and Bible stories. And, oh, yes, if you have a VCR, don’t forget the wonderful videos that are available now. Some have biblical settings and others are contemporary stories in which the main characters depend on God to get them out of all kinds of difficulties.

Home Tips Index Previous Next Parenting Tips and Advice From parents.com Eye Injuries: First Aid for the Eyes By Daphne Sashin Each year, 29,000 children under age 5 are treated in hospital emergency rooms for eye injuries. Kids are especially prone to these injuries because they have a slower reaction time than adults. The eye is a delicate organthe cornea can be easily scratched by an edge of paper or a fingernail, and a heavy blow to the eye could tear the retina. Even seemingly minor damage, if left untreated, can lead to irreversible vision problems later in life. So it's crucial to know how to handle an accident. Even more important: You can prevent nearly 90 percent of eye injuries by taking a few simple precautions. Read on for our sight-saving advice. First Aid for the Eyes Though some eye injuries can be treated at home, others need immediate medical attention. If you're unsure, call your pediatrician for medical advice; he may advise you to go to his office, see an ophthalmologist, or even visit the ER. Speck of dirt Have your child blink several times, which may help brush the dirt away. Pull the upper eyelid over the bottom lid, which will force the eye to tear, helping to wash out the dirt. If the speck is on the white part of the eye, you can try to lift it out with the corner of a moistened handkerchief or a cotton swab. Or if you have it on hand, use an eye lubricant such as Refresh Plus to flush it out. If you aren't able to remove the dirt, lightly tape a gauze pad or cloth over the eye to keep your child from rubbing it (this can grind the matter farther into the eye and scratch the cornea), and call your pediatrician.

The Quest For A Superkid From Time magazine 4/30/01 Geniuses are made, not born — or so parents are told. But can we really train baby brains, and should we try? BY JEFFREY KLUGER WITH ALICE PARK Tom Marton and Danit Ben-Ari of Brookline, Mass., have a cunning strategy for successful child rearing. Like most other parents, they wouldn't mind if their two daughters turned out to be among the next Mozarts or Martha Grahams or Mia Hamms. But essentially, they just want to help the girls get the most out of their lives. There was a time when kids being kids wasn't a radical notion. The key, they've decided, is the weekends, when they see to it that their daughters do ... pretty much nothing at all. Actually, "nothing at all" isn't quite accurate. If the girls, ages 4 and 7, want to sleep late, they do — as do Mom and Dad. After that, there's time for a family breakfast and a lazy morning and an afternoon of outside play or a museum trip or hatever else strikes the family's fancy. Monday, they all know, will come soon enough, and the girls will be going back to the high-stakes race of schoolwork and homework and ballet or chess or soccer practice. But until then, they are going to have a chance to breathe.

HOME BACK PARENTING Building children's character CHARACTER is a belief in an absolute system of right and wrong, combined with the will to do what is right regardless of the cost. Therefore, a person with character will say, "What's the right thing to do?" and a person with NO character will say, "What's in it for me?". You automatically have respect for a person with 'character'. Character deals with the matters of the heartthe inner you, not the outer you. The foundation of a person is the character. When you are an adult, you should proudly be able to say I'm a person of character, I don't do what's wrong". In the past, society defined success in terms of characterwhat a person stood for, what a person believes, and the condition of the heart of the person. Unfortunately, in today's society, the shift is from character to achievement, to performance, to doing. It's no longer what the condition of your heart is, it's how well you perform. We are living in a culture today when we come to a fork in the road where we have to choose character over achievement, most choose achievement. When that happens, there is an automatic change in a person's ethics or values.
