Regardless of whether you have a strict or a more laid-back approach to parenting, be clear and consistent on your core family values. Below are a few tips to help make sure that the communication throughout the family is clear and consistent.
This can cause frustration and anger for your child as they try and work out what they should be doing.
Mixed reactions to your own rules can again cause some anger and frustration for your child as they begin to work out what they did wrong to deserve a strict response that day.
If you want to use certain activities as rewards, then you need to be crystal clear on your expectations for what your child needs to do beforehand.
As a parent, if you’re absent then rules won’t be enforced. This can have a negative effect on your child’s performance in school.
Just like you, we want your child to lead the best life possible and choosing the parenting that works for you is best. Simply keeping in mind and making sure you communicate your family’s core beliefs and values will help in the long-run.
