Julie Lutz says
I love what my grandmother always said “Spare the rod and spoil the child” I do want to get it straight what I’m saying is not beating a child. So no beatings are not required but an occasional spanking( a few taps on the behind just hard enough to get their attention) when a child needs put back in their place is needed. I thankfully very rarely ever had to spank mine (ages 22, 19, and 12) but they certainly know how they should behave.
Stephanie Larison says
Don’t let yourself be bullied into parenting by someone elses standards. What works for another family isn’t always going to work for you. Do whats best for your own family, leave the negative comments from others behind.
joanne darrell says
The parenting tips are practical.
DeAnn O says
A parenting tip hhmmm… as a mom to a son who is at the very least borderline Asperger’s, my advice would be help your child try new things. Talk to them about what is going to happen with a new experience and get them accustomed to new people, situations and experiences. My son is “better” now that he’s a little older, but when he was younger we had to plan ahead for experiences that included loud noises or too much stimulation, so that he knew what to do or how to step away if he needed to.
Sandra Beeman says
A little laughter goes a long way in getting through the day.
Les Johnson says
My best parenting tip is to give your child a little unstructured time to themselves every day. Children need this, just as much as parents do. It teaches them to be creative and to make decisions for later in life.
