I recently recieved this from my Grandpa and when I saw it, I knew I had to place it here. See, as a parent, I know that we all do or say things that later we regret. Kids are so impressionable. In dealing with my own kids, I have to stop and remember that they are people too regardless of their size. For parents who want to improve their childrens behavior, find ways to say all the following.
Children respond far better to praise and compliments than to criticism and punishment.
I'm so proud of you. Thanks for helping sweetie. I trust you. You've got what it takes. You're so smart.
