Hey (insert name here)
Today is Valentines day and after a great morning with the kids, I'm ready to rock.
One of the greatest parenting approaches that I see in use today is parents who are parenting for the best interest of their children. What do I mean by this. So many times in public I'll see parents correcting their children more out of embarrassment for themselves then the actions of thier children. Parents have a funny way of teaching their children not right and wrong, but don't embarrass.
When it comes to correcting children the approach should be two fold.
1. Focusing on teaching your child that their behavior is not acceptable. (not the child) with
consequence coming second. (consequence meaning a time out etc.)
2. To do what is in the best interest of your child, Not anyone else.
When it comes to young children and discipline, the closer to an incident that you can correct the behavior the more likely your child will be able to relate the action with the consequence.
I would love to hear your comments.
