Being The Role Model :

'Do what I say not what I do' is a common phrase many parents follow. That is a mistake and it creates confusion amongst children. A child seldom does what the parents preach, since they will always do what they practice. children model the behaviours the parents have presented to them time and again. therefore it is important that parents set positive examples that the children can be like.

Disciplining :
One of the most important parenting skills is discipline. It is imperative that our children know who is in charge. Children need firm boundaries that come from clear and consistent parental discipline. It may be redirection, time-ours, loss of privileges, grounding or extra chores, but it is crucial that we embrace our role to train our children to become moral, respectable adults.

Being consistent :
A reward system can be used to encourage, enhance and shape positive behaviours. One the other hand adding a negative consequence to discourage and decrease negative consequence to discourage and decrease negative behaviour can work effectively. Children soon realize that the misdemeanors that are causing these consequences are to be avoided. But no matter what, everything will crumble into failure if it is not done in a consistent manner. Consistency is the main secret of disciplining a child. Consistency is the key to becoming successful parents, showing the children that their parents are indeed reliable is important.
 
Praising : Many experts believe that food provides physical nourishment while praising provides emotional nourishment for any child. Praising a child is essential as it helps to keep focus one the positive of any situation and provides a realistic appraisal of the child’s performance.

Education :
From the moment a child is born, he starts to learn from his parents. As parents, it is our duty to teach them moral and ethical values in addition to formal education. A child’s educational and behavioural success does not always depend up on the school he attends but on how involved the parents are in educating him.

Bd Calm :
It is important to maintain your cool before applying any positive or negative consequences to a child’s behaviour. There are times when children make the parents so furious that the parents get caught up in the moment and end up taking some rash decisions or actions. Parents need to practice being calm in the midst of turmoil and focus on the behaviour of the child rather than the reason for the misbehaviour. If the parents does happen to lose temper and end up saying or doing something regretful, it is always better to go back and say sorry

Confess Mistakes :
As mentioned above saying sorry or letting the child know you regret your action helps the child develop a positive behaviour. By apologizing parents reach their children about respect, consideration and humility.

Children need to know they are valued. When a child realistic that she makes a huge difference in her parents live, and they will not be able to get along without her, she understands how valuable she is as an individual. A valued child learns respect, confidence, and unselfishness and later on in life contributes to the family’s well-being.


There is no doubt that effective parenting is crucial for a family’s success. Successful parents shape the characteristics of the coming generation and the way the next generation will behave. History has taught us that when parents know and apply healthy methods to Bering up a child they get rewarding result. Successful parenting is not an accident but, requires a proper parenting plan and dedication to the child. No doubt effecting parenting is so crucial and continues to be the utmost important in one’s today, tomorrow and always!
