This list of poor mothering habits is not intended to make any mother feel horrible about herself. Because no matter how hard we try, we will make mistakes and have setbacks along the way in our parenting path. The goal of this essay is to assist moms in identifying areas where they can improve and eliminate pain for the sake […]
Over the last few months, I’ve had a few questions and done a lot of thinking about how to develop sibling relationships and get my kids to play together. I’m either breaking up a quarrel or melting over joint giggles coming from the next room when I have two toddlers at home. My favourite aspect of motherhood is watching Lincoln […]
Kindness is a skill that can be learnt just like any other. It may appear to be a simple attribute, but until we teach youngsters to be kind, it will not become a part of their personality. We can help youngsters accept the concept of being kind to themselves, others, and our planet in a variety of ways, fortunately. Surrounding […]
A powerful mindset is one of growth. But how can you assist your children (or classmates) in achieving this goal? The truth is that most parents and teachers don’t know where to begin. We spent months researching the best ways to expose youngsters to a growth mindset and assist them in adopting it. Statements and affirmations are one of these […]
Failure is an inevitable part of life. Children who are taught to fail and bounce back become stronger and more prepared to tackle life’s obstacles. When children are afraid of failing, they are more likely to experience anxiety and meltdowns when things go wrong. But how do parents teach their children to fail gracefully? It’s difficult, but parents must strive […]
Your tenacity will set you apart from more intelligent or gifted opponents. It’s the one thing that keeps you going when everyone else has given up. True, your talent and intelligence can help you. However, it is your passion and tenacity that will drive you to put up the most effort in order to achieve your achievement. Social scientists such […]
Until recently, many parents mistakenly believed that showering our children with praise on a regular basis was vital. Praise for our children comes naturally to us, almost as a reflex. It feels natural to say, “Great work!” whenever your child does anything fantastic. However, we must consider what we are doing with all of this praise. Although praise can improve […]
When you see your child in agony, you instinctively want to alleviate the discomfort. It’s very tough to know what to say in a situation like this. You may say something like… You’ll rapidly make new acquaintances. Give it some time and you’ll get used to it. Or there’s always the tried-and-true — everything will be OK. You care about […]
The children of today are growing up in new territory. According to research, a decrease in children’s outside play is causing a plethora of behavioural issues owing to a lack of sensory input. We are doing more harm than good by continuously putting kids in front of technology, restricting their movement, and reducing their time to play. Sandboxes are a […]
Attempting to control, argue with, or quit dominating children simply worsens the situation. The more authority you try to exert, the more obstinate your controlling child becomes, and the power struggle is full-steam ahead. It’s a never-ending downward spiral. There is a missing component.When children bury their heads in all of these controlling or strong-willed behaviours, they feel helpless. Unless […]
Strong-willed children are frequently misconstrued as stubborn or rebellious because adults say one thing and the children do the exact opposite, or they appear to struggle with boundaries. If you can see strong-willed children in a different way, you’ll notice that you’re dealing with a youngster who is very self-directed and has been striving to establish his own boundaries for […]
When you witness perfectionism in children, you may have one of two reactions: 1.) To encourage people to persevere in their efforts, or… 2.) To alleviate their dissatisfaction. As a parent, you may believe that if he simply tries a few more times, he’ll develop the abilities he needs to do any given chore perfectly. Alternatively, you may believe that […]
You want your children to be able to manage circumstances on their own, solve problems and come up with their own answers. It’s all part of collaborating without always involving a “manager” or a third party (like parents, teachers or another grown-up). It’s easy to become frustrated when your children come to you for everything. It’s a little…annoying when your […]
The punching and infantile rage appeared to appear out of nowhere. It started with the toddler biting, and then it progressed to the toddler hitting. I can tell you that I’ve seen it everything with both of my children: hitting, kicking, biting, and spitting. I understand your aggravation, no matter what toddler behaviour you’re dealing with. Trying to dissuade a […]
It’s difficult to raise a strong-willed child. You believe there is nothing you can do to transform your rebellious or feisty youngster into a pleasantly obedient little person. You are embarrassed by the bystanders and wonder if your child is the only one who is prone to power struggles. It’s exhausting, and you may be feeling like an angry mother […]
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I am a mom of 3 and have a passion for helping children reach their human potential. I enjoy helping parents raise confident and healthy kids by explaining how to handle situations using positive parenting, with the knowledge I gathered from my year of psychology in College and other research from when I needed help with my kids. All things I write about are from personal experience, in hopes of relating with other struggling parents who are lost with child behaviour like I once was.
