The latest tips I've posted to TipDrop.
| Nest time your teenager challenges the house rules, curfew etc, don't fly off the handle!. It just means that they are starting to think for themselves and want to work things out. Explaining and raesoning is more effective than just getting angry. Tip Credibility: 75 |
| Kids always ask 'WHY?' Simply explain to them that "because it makes me happy when you follow the house rules and do what I have asked of you." You should avoid using the term, "Because I said so," as that only adds to the child's frustration. Tip Credibility: 40 |
| Our children have feelings and experience difficult situations. By actively listening and participating with our child as they talk about it, it shows that we care. Tip Credibility: 63 |
| Don't discourage your child from feeling upset, angry, or frustrated. Listen to your child, ask questions to find out why they are feeling that way, and then offer potential solutions to alleviate the bad feeling. This is responding.

| It seems to be a natural tendency to react rather than to respond. We pass judgment based on our own feelings and experiences. However, responding means being receptive to our child's feelings and emotions with no fear of repercussions. Tip Credibility: 63 |

| Read the ADHD blogs and find out what is going on in the ADHD world if your kid has ADHD. The psychostimulants are just another name for amphetamines. Well worth the trouble in seeking natural alternatives. Tip Credibility: 39 |
| If you are confronted with problem behavior, a great tip is to establish a 'winding down time' so that both children and parents have time to change, relax the moment they get in the door. This helps! Tip Credibility: 39 |
