Giving Kids Responsibilities

Giving Kids Responsibilities Often times when I speak to other parents about how responsible my kids are I get laughed at. Either that or they make a comment about how strict a parent I must be. Giving kids responsibilities is a MUST, not a yes or no thought. As a parent it is our job to raise our kids to become responsible adults and to prepare them for the real world and life as an adult.

Eliminating the Word No!

Eliminating the Word NO! One word no one likes to be told is NO! Usually when we are told NO it makes us desire to do something even more. To be rebellious or defiant or just plain pig headed. Think about reverse psychology and how it works. You usually do or think the opposite to what is expected. Eliminating the word no, is not never using it, it’s just saying it differently. Funny we say No to our kids all the time and then as adults, especially us mums, end up struggling to please everyone and afraid of saying No! It comes full circle.

Talking to Your Kids About Sex

Talking to Your Kids About Sex Take a look back at your teenage years, what it was like growing up? How were you around the topic of sex? Ask yourself some important questions like; did you have parents who were open and respectful, had healthy boundaries around the topic? Were you on the receiving end of normal love and affection? Or were you even on the receiving end of verbal love and affection? Was there any love or affection to speak of? Did you have respect for your partners, did you have sex because you wanted to or because you felt pressure to? These are important questions.

Allow Kids to be Themselves

Allow Your Kids To Be Themselves! I want you to think back to your childhood. As a child was there a sport or activity which you truly loved and were good at? Maybe you weren’t so good at it, but you still loved it. Or maybe your parents didn’t allow you to participate in it for whatever reason? Were you totally devastated and upset with your parents when you found out that you could not continue to participate in it?

Really! Over Praising Leads to Entitlement?

Really! Overpraising Leads to Entitlement? In my opinion praising your child has little to do with a sense of entitlement. Always giving into them, giving them what they want and never disagreeing with them, leads to a sense of entitlement. For many parents or caregivers they feel the guilt of not being there for their kids due to having to work and spend many hours usually outside of the home. For others it’s the need to be their children/s best friend, those afraid that their children may not like them, or others who feel the need to keep up with the Jones’s.
