    The following 40 points are quick steps or reminders

    any parent can take and apply in their family life.

    They are intended to get you more aligned with the Law of Attraction, in

    a way that attracts an easier, more joyful, more fun life with your kids.

    Just let your eyes rest on the list, and pick whatever catches your eyes. Let

    the thoughts work on you; just let it percolate into your subconscious. Then

    one day, one moment it will re-emerge in your thoughts and you can give it a

    try.

    Rule #1 in Zero Worry Parentingis: try not to force anything on yourself or

    your kids. And conversely, whatever comes naturally and feels good... keep

    doing it.

    1. Give some personal, one-on-one time for each

    family member. They will feel they have the full

    attention they deserve, at least sometimes, and feel

    great. .

    2. First listen to what your child has to say to you.

    Then they will be more receptive to your advice.

    3. If you have a teenager, actively find ways to accept

    the way they are just now, and ways to show it to them.

    4. Always see the whole child - even when they're

    causing problems, resist the temptation to see him/her

    as just a troublemaker.

    5. Be consistent with everything you say and do with

    kids.

    6. Speak simply and clearly.

    7. When possible, let your children decide what they,

    and the family will do (this builds their self-esteem

    like nothing else!)

    8. Show your kids how much you trust them, for

    instance by letting them do things their way..

    9. Be relaxed when with kids, when there's laughter and

    an easygoing atmosphere, you can get them to do

    anything!

    10.Challenge your imagination spice up the recurring

    everyday events that would otherwise be boring.

    11.Reduce the use of the word NO.

    12.Think of something to do together instead of watching

    TV.

    13.Start a common hobby with your son or daughter:

    dancing, riding horses, chess, jogging... anything the two

    of you can enjoy together.

    14.Tell stories about the best moments in your

    childhood, and of good times when they were younger.

    (This will create positive expectations about their future.)

    15.Cook a meal together with the kids (at home, in the

    backyard, on a campfire, while hiking...)

    16.Have a wish-fulfillment day once a month one childat a time can express their wishes about how to spend

    the day.

    17.Read something together even older children enjoy

    reading things aloud.

    18.Show love to ALL family members (give your child the

    gift of a good relationship model).

    19.Instead of giving new toys, give your kids something

    new to do.

    20.After having a big cleaning day at home, or even just

    a moment to arrange things in their room, have a

    small party to celebrate the achievement. (This will

    reduce the resistance when the next time comes along)

    21.Surprise your family by suddenly inviting

    everyone on a road trip, to a spa day, to a play...

    22.Build a hut or cubby-house with the kids,

    either inside or outside. Every child loves the

    chance to build at least one hut! Its even better

    if its in a tree.

    23.Allow for imperfection. If everything/everyone

    around the child is perfect, they cannot learn to

    accept their own shortcomings.

    24.Practice Just Being. Lying on a bed, sitting

    around in nature, staring into a fireplace...

    together with your kids.

    25.At least on weekends, live according to thechildren's natural rhythms. (This will

    effortlessly enhance bonding and increase their

    trust in you)

    26.Promise the kids something they like, to get

    them excited about working with you (on

    something they'd otherwise not be so excited

    about).

    27.Think about the influence or effect you want

    to make on your kids just like adults, they

    may not remember every detail about what

    happened, but they will remember what it felt

    like.

    28.Get emotional support from another adult, not

    from a child.

    29.Have a 'vice day'. If you normally eat 90%

    healthy meals, you can sometimes have small

    vices such as junk food. (So that what's normally

    forbidden doesn't start to attract them too much

    over time)

    30.Let your child use your camera take pictures

    together! (Children are free of the esthetic

    conceptions adults have give them a chance to

    express themselves with you, and wow you!)

    31.Sometimes you have differences of opinion. Does

    it always really matter? Give in to your child once in

    a while. Just say you're right. That will take the wind

    out of their sails and you'll be able to communicate

    again.

    32.Give old mattresses and sofa cushions to the kids

    they love jumping on their own creations!

    33.Theme color days: wear certain colors on certain

    days with your kids. Have fun.

    34.Make conscious choices to make your everyday

    life enjoyable. Everyday life makes your overall life

    good, not just the occasional highs.

    35.When having parties, give the kids the fine

    dinnerware too (the best china and linen, the sameyou give to the adults). Even quite small children can

    eat with dignity when they get the feeling it's a festive,

    valuable occasion. It's best to practice this at home.

    36.Bake something together! Something he or she

    chooses to cook. Make a feast.

    37.Apologize to your child when the situation calls

    for it. Your own example works as the best teaching.

    Were not perfect either thats for sure.

    38.Try to imagine how you would feel if you were

    your child. Put yourself on the level of the child

    what they want and need. Its quite revealing, and may

    change how you relate to them.

    39.Encourage them to give their weekly allowance to

    charity one time. Explain about charities - where the

    money goes and what it does. Let him/her choose the

    charity he/she gives to.

    40.Give praise to your child every chance you get!
