6 Little Things = a BIG Impact on Children’s Behavior

1) Take time every day to appreciate the COOL people you are raising. Look at your kids. Smile at their smile. Celebrate them for who they are and how they’re learning and growing up.

2) Get that Quality Time in. Step into your children’s world and follow them in play. If they’re older, follow them in their interests.

3) Send the message of TRUST. When you truly trust in your children for who they are, their values, and their actions – they rise to the occasion. We all have obstacles to trust as parents. Sometimes, it’s working with those blocks, and other times it’s faking it till we make it.

4) State clear, positive expectations. Parents are often shocked that when they begin clearly communicating what the expectations are as a positive (not as a “don’t ___”), children cooperate. If you feel like your kids aren’t listening, it could be that you’re not being clear.

5) Believe in yourself as a parent. You’re already an amazing parent and yes, you are human. It’s nearly impossible to believe in your kids if you’re not believing in yourself. Believe in yourself, your strengths, and who you are. Parenting mistakes are simply opportunities to learn, grow, and evolve alongside your children. ✨

6) Start involving your children in day-to-day decision-making. Get their input. Access their wisdom. You are still the leader, but remember a great leader brings out the leadership in others. And children today are ready to lead.
