Thirteen Principles of Effective Parenting

#1:  If you try something and it doesn't work, do something different.

#2:  No matter what the provocation, never argue with your child.

#3:  You have to give respect...to get respect.

#4:  Catch your child doing something right, each and every day.

#5:  Never use bribes.

#6:  The core of effective parenting is natural and logical consequences.

#7:  Never do for your child what he or she can do for them selves.

#8:  All behavior is purposeful.

#9:  If a given behavior isn't fulfilling its goal or purpose, every child will opt for a different behavior.

#10:  You can't make your child feel more secure.

#11:  Have fun with your child.

#12:  Do something for yourself, each and every day.

#13:  Be consistent!

 

 

Parenting Teenagers Discussion Forum

In facilitating groups for parents over the years, I have seen time and again the insight, suggestions and support that parents give to each other.  It is far beyond what I, or any therapist I know, has to offer.

In order to facilitate this same mechanism on our website, we have added a Parenting Teenagers Discussion Forum.

Join us today! 

Contribute to, or start a new discussion! 

In addition to what you may learn; your insight, suggestions and support will prove invaluable to parents across the internet.
