I'm a mom and an editor and a wife too. I discovered how wonderful mastering parenting skills is when I faced a very difficult situation with my daughter's behavior, June. Having changed this situation into a strong relationship and real peace of mind for me and my husband thanks to a parenting program, it made me want to share what I know to help others, which I did, with several families, different situations.
It changes everything to understand what are the mistakes we make, how we can improve the way we communicate with our children to help them become responsible adults.
Later, I gathered a team of parents to build together a website about parenting methods, to tell parents who feel powerless that we know some parenting methods can be effective and make a difference.
To me that's what is great about internet. Gathering people, helping people, sharing valuable knowledge and spreading the word about solutions that really work.
I do hope my articles will give the answers you're looking for, and give you hope back.

Saying "I have no patience with my kids" already means that you know you're the one who has to change in order to have a more co-operative child, have more patience and feel more in control of some situations that are currently driving you crazy.

The first thing I want to tell you before analyzing whether or not you might need parenting skills training is that knowing that you need to learn parenting skills and not feeling guilty about it is a very important step. I don't know how you feel right now about this but most parents feel anxious and guilty about the fact that they don't know how to communicate with their children and be respected by them.

I do believe that some of the toughest things we have to deal with when we are parents are our own impulsive reactions. One thing we need to learn is how to stop yelling at kids. Our responsibility is a big one; we are teaching life to our kids, trying to give them the tools they'll need in order to become healthy, happy, successful adults.

It seems that for a very long time now, to spank a child was equal to disciplining a child. The reason the parents who spank their children do so is that they want to show them that it hurts when they hit or they want to make them calm down, or they think it's the only way children can understand they did something wrong.
What I think, and what many parenting experts think, is that it's wrong to spank a child. Yes, even a light spank.

Bedtime issues are one of the main problems parents are facing with their child. To be more specific, the main problem isn't that their child won't sleep, but mostly that he won't stay in bed. Sleep is very important in young children and making a child sleep is actually impossible. If he's tired, he'll sleep. But when a child doesn't sleep, he usually gets up and finds excuses: he wants a glass of water, forgot to tell you something, want to sleep in your bed...

Rules are important but if badly explained or not explained at all, they can easily sound unfair to your child. An unruly child is a child who doesn't understand the rules settled by his parents. What you need to understand is the ineffectiveness of your rules when they are not discussed.

I believe we can lose our sanity when we are a mom. At one point, we just feel and know that things are not any longer under our control. Maybe you understand what went wrong, maybe you do not even remember the way it occurred, how that routine made of tantrums and screams established itself into your life. I believe that the minute we are tempted to google "desperate mother", is when we feel like we have tried almost everything and that we're powerless.

The reason why this article isn't about "handling bad kids" is mainly because bad kids don't exist! The issue is their behaviour, the one parents cause without being aware of it, the one they have to improve.

I am not gonna write a very long intro here for the reason that you just need to view your reality from a different point of view. We as individuals nearly always mix up our real feelings with our emotions generated nearly instantly by several situations. Only the thoughtful ones, or the parents who have read this article (!), can put their emotions and impulsive reactions aside and always express what they really feel inside of them.

First of all, what do we precisely imply by "How to discipline a child?". I seriously think that the word "discipline" is an old fashion way to express a good behaviour in a little one with you and with other people. It signifies the respect of the principles you are attempting to set up within your family.

Parents who say "I would like to transform my child" obviously do not like their child's behaviour. Just before revealing to you what you need to do, I would like you to understand that children aren't bad. Their behavior can be wrong but not them, for the very reason that their individuality is a work in progress, and you're accomplishing that work.

Mothers and fathers must certainly not accept that their child hits them and they have got to make extremely clear how unacceptable that behaviour is. Knowing the cause will help you have an effective reaction. First of all, be aware that a child hitting does not wish to physically hurt. Hitting seriously is a mean of expression when he's angry or annoyed. You have to set in his mind what is wrong. It's the sole way he will understand it.

Needing to acquire effective parenting skills is a critical step toward a greater communication with your child and a much better relationship. You intend to teach more things and be a lot more than an authoritarian parent and that is essential. What you apparently already know is that it's simply by doing a modification in your behavior, reactions, words, that you can hope to see your child behaving differently with you.
