Promote your Child's Self Esteem

Parenting is an exhausting and difficult job.  It is a gigantic responsibility that requires much energy and patience.

Life would be simple if children did everything we asked, but that is not reality.  Parenting is often hard work.

There are also rewards for all of this hard work.  One of the sweetest is to have your young child voluntarily tell you that they love you.  Your children are your legacy to the world, so treat them with care.

Discipline.

Discipline is often a difficult issue for parents.  I have compiled some articles on this rather sensitive issue.

Anger.

Children feel angry and they need us to show them how to cope with that anger.  It is not an easy task to help a child control their anger, however it is one of the most common tasks that we, as parents, must do.  I have included an article by Dr. Scoresby that I have found helpful.

.Child Development

Every parent wonders if their child is developing appropriately.  It is hard not to compare children, however it is imperative that we do not, because each child is a unique individual and will therefore develop at a unique and individual pace.  I have included a GUIDELINE for the stages of development by age. Please remember that these are just a Guideline and in no way is indicative of every child.

  Whining.

One of the most annoying things that pretty much EVERY child does or has done, is whine.  "...but Mon/Dad everybody else is..." is a familiar line to you if you are a parent, and if you are anything like me that whining is enough to drive you nuts!!  I abhor whining and I am learning to teach my kids not to whine.  A book that I am reading that is helping me with this rather gargantuan undertaking is called Win the Whining Wars.

I have included an article that I also found helpful.
