By Beth Casas


With all the parenting advice there is on the net, it's a wonder everybody is not confused. Being able to learn from people who have good knowledge to pass around makes it worth while. But since you're a parent, then your time is limited which can present challenges. As you read the following advice on parenting, see how much it applies to your home situation.

When you have teenagers, it can feel like you're always in the throes of negotiations. You know what they're doing because you did the same thing as all kids when growing up. Just in case, if you are a naturally strong personality (authority), then consider moving more to displaying authoritarian behavior which is different. Sometimes it's not so much that they want to be difficult or disobedient, but there's a conflict of some kind, so just ask them what they feel is a good solution, and then listen and go from there.

All kids regardless of age need to experience affection from their parents. There has been lots of research performed over the years that support this need we have for affection. Your children definitely need to know you love them and you have to demonstrate this to them.

Putting a lack of acceptance on the shoulders of a young child or even teenager can be too much for them. This is about providing positive and sincere feedback, and you can do this with anything they do from doing a nice job around the house on something, for instance. This is all about focusing on the positive and not hammering on the negative so much, if at all.

Your children need to learn how to socialize and interact with others because this will teach them about making friends and other positive things like sharing toys. The tips we have been talking about are very solid and reliable and will help. Don't get discourage if you're single because that's the norm these days, it seems. The web is great for networking with other parents, and you'll make friends and learn along the way.
