Top Ten Tips For Parents
When your child wants to show you something, stop what
you are doing and pay attention. It’s important to spend
frequent, small amounts of time with your child doing
things that you both enjoy.
Give your child lots of physical affection. Children often
like hugs, cuddles, and holding hands.
Talk to your child about things he/she is interested in and
talk about your day too.
Give your child lots of descriptive praise when they do
something that you would like to see more of, e.g., “Thank
you for doing what I asked straight away.”
Children are more likely to misbehave when they are
bored so provide lots of indoor and outdoor activities for
your child, e.g., building blocks, coloring, cardboard boxes,
dress ups, play house, etc.
Teach your child new skills by first showing the skill
yourself, then giving your child opportunities to learn the
new skill. For example, speak politely to each other in the
home. Then, prompt your child to speak politely (e.g., say
“please” or “thank you”) and praise your child for their
efforts.
Set clear limits on your child’s behavior. Sit down and
have a family discussion on the rules in the home. Let
your child know what the consequences will be if they
break the rules.
If your child misbehaves, stay calm and give them a clear
instruction to stop. If they do not stop, follow through
with an appropriate consequence.
Have realistic expectations. All children misbehave at
times and it is inevitable that you will have some
discipline hassles. Trying to be the perfect parent can set
you up for frustration and disappointment.
Look after yourself. It is difficult to be a calm, relaxed
parent if you are stressed, anxious, or depressed. Try to
find time every week to let yourself unwind or do
something that you enjoy.

Los Diez Mejores Consejos Para Padres
Cuando quiere su hijo mostrarle algo, deje de hacer lo que
esta hacienda y préstele atención. Es importante que
pase breves y frecuentes con su hijo haciendo cosas que
ambos disfruten.
Demuéstrele a su hijo mucho afecto físico: a los niños
generalmente les gustan los abrazos, los mismos y que los
tomen de las manos.
Háblele a su hijo sobre cosas que le interesen y comparta
detalles de su día con su hijo.
Dele a su hijo elogios descriptivos cuando se comporta de
una manera que usted desearía ver más seguido, por
ejemplo, “Gracias por hacer lo que te pedí de inmediato”.
Los niños suelen comportarse mal cuando están aburridos;
por lo tanto, proporciónele a su hijo actividades
interesantes para realizar en espacios interiores o al aire
libre, por ejemplo, juegos con plastilina, libros para
colorear, caja de cartón, disfraces, casitas para niños,
etc.
Ensénele a su hijo nuevas habilidades de la siguiente
manera: primero muéstrele la habilidad usted mismo, luego
dele oportunidades a su hijo para aprenderla. Por
ejemplo, diríjase con amabilidad a las demás persona de la
casa. Luego, incentive a su hijo a hablarle a los demás con
amabilidad (por ejemplo, a decir “por favor” o “gracias”), y
elogie al niño por sus esfuerzos.
Establezca límites claros en el comportamiento de su hijo.
Reúna a los miembros de su familia y organice una
discusión familiar para establecer las reglas de las casa.
Explíquele cuáles serán las consecuencias si rompe las
reglas.
Si su hijo se comporta mal, mantenga la calma y dele
instrucciones claras para que deje de portarse mal, dígale
lo que desearía que hiciera en lugar de lo que está
haciendo (por ejemplo, “dejen de pelear; jueguen en
armonía”). Elogie a su hijo si deja de portarse mal. Si no
se detiene, aplique una consecuencia apropiada.
Tenga expectativas realistas. Todos los niños se portan
mal algunas veces y es inevitable que deba lidiar con
situaciones disciplinarias molestas. Intentar ser un padre
perfecto puede predisponerlo a frustrarse y sentirse
decepcionado.
Cuídese. Es una tarea difícil ser un
padre calmado y relajado si está
deprimido, estresado o ansioso. Intente
encontrar tiempo todas las semanas
para relajarse o hacer algo que
disfruta.

Fairy House Night Lights
These fairy house night lights are really fun to make and so easy! A great way to turn some empty water bottles into something cute and useful. These would even be sweet out on the patio for those warm
summer nights! Quick, easy, and totally cute!
Supplies Recycled plastic bottle Multi-surface craft paint LED tea light Silk flowers Moss Hot glue gun Craft knife Scissors Directions Cut top portion of bottle off with craft knife. Remove the lid and set aside. Cut off the
plastic band around the neck of the bottle. Paint both halves of the bottle with colors of your choice. Allow to dry 30 minutes
then repeat for a second coat. Cut a window in the bottle half of the bottle, large enough to fit the tea light inside. Cut slits halfway up the top half of the bottle, about 1-inch apart. Bend the ends of
each slit upward so that they stick out. Decorate the outside of the house with silk flowers. Cover the bottle lid with silk leaves or flowers. Place lid back on the neck of the bottle. Add some hot glue to the inside of the bottom half of the bottle and line the bottom
with moss. Add tea light candle. Place "roof" on top of the "house".
