NOTE TO THE PARENT SELF... ....Practice what you Preach.
Teaching our kids Social Skills starts with Practicing them ourselves. Our kids are ALWAYS watching what we do. Even more so , they pay attention to how we treat THEM.
What we do ,...and don't do ,... have more impact upon our kids than what we say.
Do you RESPOND or REACT ???
Become AWARE how you treat your kids ...not just when you are having a Good day , but when you are having a Bad day.
NO Parent is perfect . No Parent can be calm , patient, understanding , and responsive ALL the time. We are Human. We lose it sometimes.
AWARENESS of yourself is the best tool you have to teach the lessons you want your kids to learn. It gives YOU the Power to do better next time. To respond , not react.
Actually,.....this is for you. Yes ! You deserve to have a good day, to be relaxed , not stressed, to feel Calm, Confident, and to enjoy being a Parent. You control this , not your kids or their behavior. That's the power... Awareness is your Superpower !!!
