Posted 12/18/2017 10:34 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Can a child be spoiled by too much love? A child cannot be "spoiled" by too much love.

However, she can be spoiled by receiving so many toys, treats, clothes and other material items that there is no pleasure left in re .... Posted 12/7/2017 10:28 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Feeling irritated is normal and appropriate under certain circumstances... A stern or firm voice is often perceived as a "yell" by loved ones. "Don't yell at me," a child may protest to his mom, when her voice is quiet but very business-like.

Words go from your mouth into your child's psyche, heart and mind - so be careful with them. As much as possible, avoid using a negative word. For instance, when you see your 5 year old teasing the toddler, you can ask him to "play nicely" but it's .... Posted 12/5/2017 2:14 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Plain rudeness or a full blown meltdown ensues every time your child is told "no" Your child naturally feels frustrated and is showing signs of poor emotional regulation - the inability to maintain self-control and respect for others when emotionally upset. If you don't put a stop to your child's rudeness or tantrums you are hel .... Posted 12/5/2017 1:47 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Here's one way you can avoid broken promises....... In family life, you're better off saying, "I can't say right now," than something like "Maybe," or "I'll try" as in "Maybe we'll have pizza tonight" or "I'll try to pick up that shirt you want." People - and children in particular - seem to drop th .... Posted 12/3/2017 11:09 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Here's what you can do to give fewer daily instructions to loved ones.... No one, of any age, likes to be told what to do. But often, we have to give instructions to family members. Nonetheless, when we give too many - especially to teens, adult children and spouses - we may be perceived as "controlling" or "bossy." Fort .... Posted 12/1/2017 1:39 AM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Fill up your tank before you start driving......... Start your day on a full tank of love. Before you get out of bed in the morning, lie still for 1 or 2 minutes with your hand resting on your heart. Breathe slowly and evenly. As you inhale, imagine that you are breathing in love and filling yoursel .... Posted 11/29/2017 5:04 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Your child has punched his sibling. If you do what most parents do at this point, he'll be punching again and again...... The most common parental interventions for aggressive behavior GUARANTEE that a child will continue to be aggressive in the future. Here they are: Telling the child, "We don't hit. We use our words." Giving the child a negative conseq .... Posted 11/29/2017 5:03 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Here's an easy way to improve the overall mood at home..... YOU set the tone at home. When YOU'RE in a good mood, the whole household feels more upbeat and relaxed. So help yourself calm down by slowing down your movements (this initiates a relaxation response), turning your lips upward in a small smile as .... Posted 11/29/2017 4:53 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) It's easier to do this than to not do this...... "Lower your voice," yields better results than "Stop shouting." "Remember to do it," works better than "Don't forget." "Tell the truth," brings more success than "Don't lie." In all cases, ask for what you WANT, rather than talking about what you d .... Posted 11/29/2017 4:50 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) How to increase your child's emotional intelligence with 3 little words.... To help build your child's emotional intelligence (E.Q.) name your own feelings throughout the day. Instead of saying, "I can't believe it! I drove all this way and they don't even have the special yogurt today!" say something like, "I'm so frustra .... Posted 11/23/2017 8:54 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Discipline strategies don't have to involve punishment.... Here are some steps for helping a child change her inappropriate behavior: 1) for your own clarity, write down the inappropriate behavior and what triggers it. For example, "When child doesn't get what she wants, she has a meltdown." 2) write down .... Posted 11/23/2017 8:35 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) You've asked, explained, threatened, bribed, punished...nothing's working... Why is your child STILL having meltdowns at 6 or 16? Why is he or she STILL hurting siblings, talking back, leaving messes, not listening, leaving assignments till the very last minute, refusing to go to bed and all the rest? The answer is simpler .... Posted 11/21/2017 11:54 AM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) You may think that everyone has it easier or better than you do.... Sometimes we look down on ourselves. We see that our neighbor has a bigger house, a better spouse or children that are better behaved than our own. When this happens, quickly move your attention to more wholesome thoughts - thoughts of gratitude an .... Posted 11/21/2017 11:27 AM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Instead of getting all defensive, try this communication strategy... When a loved one criticizes us, we may just criticize him or her right back. "You left your cup in the sink." "Ya, well you left your shoes in the hallway so don't tell me about cups in the sink!" These counter-attacks deliver the message: "Don't c .... Posted 11/21/2017 11:24 AM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Here's a tip that can help prevent a lot of problems down the line.....

Posted 11/16/2017 7:54 PM | Tell a Friend | Parenting | Comments (0) Feelings get hurt in family life.......

When a child is openly defiant (in a "you can't make me" sort of way), stay cool, calm and collected. It may be that he is upset about something or over-tired or testing limits or driven by his genes. Whatever the reason, he isn't "bad" - he is in ....
