]]>Here are some tips that can help your kids share a bedroom peacefully and go to sleep when they’re supposed to.
If your kids are sharing a room it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are sharing a bedtime. It would be great if you create a special nighttime routine that allows each child to fulfill its pre-bed needs.
If every night becomes a slumber party you shouldn’t be a party breaker but it’s good to set some timetable rules concerning sleep time. Allow your kids 10 minutes of chitchat followed by some quiet time and then get them to sleep.
Before it gets its sibling, you should first talk to your child about that and introduce him to the situation which will soon happen. If introduced on time, your child will do the thinking about how everything’s going to be and that should help it adapt.

]]>The theoretical insight into the heart of the problem can be very helpful. The more you know the more you’ll be getting constructive ideas on how to make everything easier for your kid. You can help your child by explaining to them what OCD is and how it affects their thinking.
You must be a solid ground for your child’s psychical development. That is why you shouldn’t take part in their rituals because if you do, your child will lose a confidence. This is a referential example of someone who doesn’t suffer from OCD and who can be a role – model for their further development.
You must keep a track of your child’s behavior. If it comes up with some new activities you must notice it and help it think about the way to overcome the possible negative effects of it.

]]>The whole rhythm of your relationship changes immediately once the baby comes. This can cause the feeling that you may grow apart, but it’s just temporarily.
You can maintain your connection by occasionally flirting and physically touching each other when you’re in the same room.
It’s not easy to come up with an instant parenting plan, but after a while, you’ll be able to see which are the responsibilities that you need to take and you can divide them according to how you feel it’s right.
There is no universal plan, you’ll just have to trust your own connection with each other and conjoin forces while figuring out the most rational plan.
Lack of sleep generally causes unstable behavior and increases levels of anxiety. But it doesn’t have to affect your relationship.
Just have in mind that it’s a temporary situation and that stress is not caused due to some substantial problems in your relationship.

]]>Every approach has its pros and cons, but we can highlight at least 3 main things which can set the criteria for any parent. A good parent should: 1) love his child; 2) be patient; 3) have will to understand his child’s personality.
Aside from these 3 conditions, we can also point out some important steps that you should consider taking:
Kid’s sense of self is very fragile and is in a process of fast development. Parents should understand their child during each phase of development and be supportive. Frequently, the child can feel insecure and frightened by changes that constantly occur.
That is the place where parents should provide a safe place for their kid’s self-development by boosting kid’s self – esteem.
Setting limits is one of the most important parts of parenting. Your child still doesn’t know what is good or bad for it, so you must set things straight with some restrictions. Establishing household rules helps kids understand your expectations and develop self – control which is a key element for the further self-development of your child.
Young kids learn a lot about how to act by watching what their parents do. You really don’t want to be guilty of your child’s bad behavior only because you couldn’t control yourself. Self – control is important both for children and their parents.

]]>Some fathers find it difficult to approach their daughters because they are afraid they will mess something up during the upbringing. By creating a stronger bond with your little girl, you will become a better father and she will become a better person.
Most little girls look up to their dad as a man who can do everything. Your daughter will look up to you even more if you teach her how to do housework, how to fish or ride a bike.
It’s something that will shape her and strengthen your relationship with her.
In traditional environments, girls are afraid to tell their dad things because they may get overprotective and angry.
No matter what you feel, you have the obligation to listen to her. She will open up to your more and respect you for being supportive.
Your daughter will love when you give her a surprise gift, when you take her on a trip and when you do things she doesn’t expect. It’s not about being a man or a woman – it’s about being a parent.

]]>Whether you just work part-time or full-time, you may have chosen this type of career so you can still be close to your kids.
But a lot of times, it’s also hard for kids when their parents work from home. This is especially true for younger children, although it can also affect older kids. This is because the home is their comfort zone and it’s where they spend time with the family.
So when the parents work from home, children may feel rejected. Think about it, when you’re working and your child needs attention, will you give it willingly? Chances are, you’ll prioritize your job which will make your little one feel like you don’t want to be with him/her.
Fortunately, there are some things you can do to reduce the negative impact this has on your child. For one, you can ask someone to bring your child to the park or to the museum while you finish your tasks at home. If your child is a bit older, you can also talk to him/her, explain that you need to work for a couple of hours then you can spend time with each other after.

]]>Because of this, researchers, child advocates, and even physicians believe that discipline is not really necessary when raising children, Instead, there are zero discipline methods parents can use to get their child to cooperate.
The director of the Yale Parenting Center at Yale University, Dr. Alan Kazdin came up with this method. He believes that punishing kids is actually counterproductive and it won’t lead to the positive behaviors parents desire. With this method, you teach your child how to act appropriately through simulation rather than rather than by reprimanding.
Dr. Laura Markham suggests that the key to parenting is to base your relationship with your child on warmth, mutual respect, and love. Do this instead of forcing your child to see you as an authority figure he/she must obey.
This method came from the field of positive psychology. It’s built on the concept of nurturing a child’s abilities, strengths, and talents rather than trying to correct their flaws.
Alfie Kohn created this method and it focuses on offering your child unconditional love no matter how he behaves or what he does.

]]>If you want your child to have good manners, you have to have good manners yourself. Children model their behavior on the behavior of others, especially their parents, so be a well-mannered parent as a first step.
From infancy, instill polite words and phrases into your children. ‘Please’, ‘thank you’, ‘excuse me’, ‘no thank you’, and ‘may I’ are the very basics.
To ensure your child knows how to behave in a well-mannered way, tell them what the rules are, and include these in everyday activities such as play.
No-one learns good manners overnight, least of all a small child. Be patient, and encourage them to think about others instead of just themselves. Teach them to listen and respect others.
As we said, children model their behavior on their parents. If you are biased against a group or person, keep it to yourself. The last thing a child needs is to learn prejudice.

]]>Thankfully, there are many things you can do to intervene and help them learn how to play independently. These five simple things will turn your child into a more independent and more creative person from the get-go.
Children have a hard time learning to play by themselves due to the constant presence of the TV. Change that and independence will ensue.
If you play with your child, he or she will learn by mimicking. When they see enough, they will want some time for themselves to play.
Every child needs freedom in their schedule and yours is no exception. They want to plan their own schedule, and you should allow them to.
When your child is bored, make them solve their boredom by themselves. It will help independence massively.
Praise your kids for their independence. This is a big motivating factor they can sure use at this young age.

]]>They are full of energy, so it can be quite hard to get them to take a snooze. Thankfully, there are five effective ways to persuade the kids to take a snooze.
Be persistent and the kids will catch the routine in no time. Patience is everything that you need here.
Create a tradition of keeping the gadgets out of the sleeping quarters. They will fall asleep better.
Explain to them that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to the dark. A good talk will calm them down.
Foods high in sugars cause energy spikes, making kids hyperactive. By taking out such snacks before bed, your kid will get tired much faster.
Children generally grow up much healthier if they take up sports at an early age. That healthiness stems directly from the fact that they sleep more, due to frequent exhaustion.
