1. Take advantage of Positive Encouragement

It is not difficult to find that parents tend to focus their energy on scolding their children on the wrongs committed but not on praising on the rights done. This is a big mistake as the child will not know what he has done wrong and the good behaviour cannot be enforced if it is not being encouraged!

In order for your child to learn the rights and the wrongs, it is vital that you acknowledge your children’s good behaviors while you catch and correct their bad ones. It is an indication to your children that you know and appreciate what they are doing.

Being the mother of twin toddlers, I have to very observant when they are with me. When I catch my boy pushing or hitting his twin sister, I will not hesitate to stop him immediately and correct his misbehavior. However, I also ensure that I shower him with praises and comment on his good behaviors too when I catch sight of him doing things like sharing his food or toys with his sister. This will help my children to learn the correct values - know what is right and what is wrong.

2. Allocate Personal Time For Each Child

In order to be successful in child parenting, a vital thing you must do first of all is to build strong bonds with your children by allocating personal time for each of them. It does not have to be very long but you should set aside at least half an hour each day or 2 hours per week as personal time for each child. This is the period when you can talk to your kids about their day but make sure you do not get interrupted by phone calls or any other forms of distractions.

Personal time can be done together as a family whereby you sing, play and chat with your very young children. Another way is to read stories to them before they go to sleep. A vital point to stress on is that you must include lots of hugs and kisses for your children so as to express your love for them.

3. Avoid Use Of Physical Punishment

Gone are the days when parents use physical punishment to enforce a rule on their children. In studies down, it has been found that these children who had lived in very harsh environment tend to be more aggressive and uncontrollable when they grow up to become adults. It is a more effective child parenting model to teach your children with love and reasoning rather than through physical punishment.
