Why Encourage Children to Have the Self-Confidence to Speak Up? Is your child shy? Do they feel like they are left out of playmates and playground activities? Is there a way to increase their self confidence without making it a huge issue for them? What are some ideas for helping them to be critical thinkers and problem solvers? What Makes Strong and Nurturing Families? Human beings have the longest dependency on others than any other living creature. We spend our lives in relationships, either toxic or nurturing. If the family of origin was not supportive and loving, we either repeat that pattern or look for other mentors and teachers. What Do Children Need From Parents? What do children really need besides food, shelter and protection? Have you ever wondered what your responsibility is to ensure that your child will grow up to be a contributing member of society? Water, Water … Everywhere What one word best sums up summer fun? Water. I bet your favorite memories as a child involved getting wet, running through sprinklers on a sweltering afternoon, water fights in the backyard, wading at the beach, playing on the slip & slide, and skipping rocks across the river. Your kids will relish the same experiences if they share them with you. Use Encouragement Not Criticism to Help Children Improve Our words are very powerful tools, especially with impressionable children. We need to pause and think before we give corrections and feedback on what our children are doing. To do List for Parents, From the Kids Do you wish you knew what your child was thinking about you as a parent? Are you struggling with your confidence as a parent? Do you sometimes feel like you are not doing enough to help your child become a responsible member of society? Time to Daydream and Use Imagination Everyone needs silence and privacy at times. Many parents have their children in so many structured programs to "enrich" their lives that there is no times to just think and be. We should never become full time recreation directors for our children. Time Out for Adults Does time out work for children? Yes, but only when it is age appropriate (one minute for each year of age) and then followed by a discussion at eye level of why the action was unacceptable. Teach Children Good Work Habits When the family realizes that by working together there will be extra time to spend having fun, they will be more willing to leave old habits behind in favor of the new. Stress Triggers for Kids How do you know what is stress and what is a temper tantrum? How do you figure out if the stomachache is from too many tacos last night or the math test scheduled today? Why would your six year old be stressed when you are the one who lost the job? Why would your eight year old suddenly hate Little League and begin wheezing as it nears time to go? Step Parent Success-7 Easy Steps Being a step parent does not mean being stepped on or walked over like a doormat. It also does not have to be hard, frustrating and disruptive to daily life. Parenting is a challenge, even when you have known the children from birth. Blending families, past experiences, expectations, parenting styles and stages of growth can have an impact on relationships. It is easy to love someone else's children, not always easy to raise them. Show You Love Children in Non Verbal Ways It is not enough for parents, step parents and extended family to feel a deep glow of love for the children in your circle of influence. You must convey that feeling into a message that is heard, felt and integrated by the child. Children need to be told both verbally and non-verbally how much they are valued for just being them. Show Love for a Child in 5 More Simple Ways So often we do what is called unconscious parenting, just getting through the day. It is not that we don't love our family; it is just that the love sometimes gets lost in the translation through poor communications or unskillful methods. Share Family Stories Around the Holiday Table Do you know what was your dad’s favorite Christmas or Hanukkah gift as a young child? Do you know why your grandmother makes her special cookies? Do you, and more important, do your children; know why their aunts, uncles and extended family love them? Rules for Respect-Boundaries of Behavior Do your kids think you have too many rules? Do they push the limits and boundaries of respect? Perhaps you have had similar conversations that started like these in order to teach respect for others. Raising Kids on A Budget-Ask Auntie Artichoke How If your bills and expenses equals more than your income, you are headed for trouble and must take steps immediately to get back on track. There must be enough coming in your household to cover what is going out in expenses. If there is a big difference between the two, then you may be headed for trouble. The sooner you can find solutions, the faster you can be in a position to balance your budget Raising a Resilient, Bounce Back Kid How does your child handle disappointment? What happens if they don't win the game, election or friend? Do they want to quit the team when they're not picked to play? Positive Correction Changes Behavior Parents need to convey though words and gestures that we appreciate our children's efforts and improvement, not just their accomplishments. We need to make a point of noticing what they do right, not just what they do wrong. Notes to My Parent-From Your Child What does your child really need from you besides food, shelter and love? Are you struggling with your confidence as a parent? Do you sometimes feel like you are not doing enough to help your child become a responsible member of society? Do you wish your child could put into words what he or she really needs each day in order to feel safe, secure and ready to learn? Nobody Likes Me! The Left Out Child Do you worry that your child doesn't seem to make friends easily? Does he give a message of despair and closed body language to others? Does he refuse to make eye contact or smile when he meets others? Is he shy or simply self contained? Make Friends and Be Well Liked - 10 Ways to Encourage Friendships Parents, teachers and other caring adults: Here are 10 secrets to assisting your child to be more likeable. Teach and model them on a daily basis and you will find your social circle enlarging. Incentives Can Encourage Feelings of Accomplishment Do you know the difference between a bribe and an incentive? Are your children and employees always concerned with WIIFE (what's in it for me)? Do you think the sense of entitlement some children have is growing? How do you teach the inner reward when they want an outer or tangible gift? In this article, we will discuss the place of incentives in motivation. Express Love for a Child in 5 Simple Ways Below are 5 simple ways to express your love and appreciation to and for your child. Note I did not say easy, because any positive change in behavior is hard, but the end result is well worth the effort. Good luck. Encouraging Words With Auntie Artichoke Encouragement is the process of focusing on your children’s assets and strengths in order to build their self-confidence and feelings of worth. I like to think of the word "encourage" as "en"courage, or giving the gift of courage. Inherent in that gift is the idea that it is okay to take risks and perhaps even to fail - the important thing is to go ahead and try it anyway. When we give a child encouragement, we are saying to keep trying, keep up with the progress, and to celebrate the journey, not just the victory. Do More With Children, Not For Them - Ages 6 to 8 years old - Primary Grades Work with your children to learn life skills and you are giving them a priceless gift in self confidence. Compliment Your Child - Positive Reinforcement Do you know how to compliment your child? Strangely enough, many parents don’t. If you never heard anything except criticism and negative comments growing up, you need to learn the words and actions in order to build the self esteem and character of your child. Character Traits To Teach and Have Character is the set of qualities that make somebody distinctive. It is the outward manifestation of what you believe inside your mind and spirit. It is your nature, personality and moral fiber. Your character is the attitude and set of mind which indicates to others who you are and what you stand for. Are We Spoiling Our Kids With Too Much Stuff? Are you a parent, grandparent, teacher, coach or employer who is dismayed at the sense of entitlement many of our young children have? And that is not all they have. They have clothes enough to outfit a small orphanage, toys enough for a play land and an excuse for every chore they are asked to do. Amazing Imagination - Daydream and Create Are your children lost in cyber space? Do they prefer the company of video games and television to the family? Can they day dream and use their imagination to create wonderful games or activities on their own? Do they need someone or something to tell them how to have fun? 4 Step Training System – How to Teach Your Kids New Skills Chores are an important part of daily life. Those mundane daily jobs that seem effortless for adults to tackle can seem like insurmountable tasks for some children. Membership in a family takes coordinated effort for a household to run smoothly. Each person has a role to play and jobs to perform.
