Give me a tip on raising my kids, in general?

Question

could be anything, just wondering.

Answer 1

Whatever you say, follow through on it.  If your children know you are going to do what you say, they won't try to negotiate every decision.  That can be exhausting.  

Answer 2

ok... when they become teenagers, let them date. give them their personal space. don't be an overbearing mom that wants her kids all to herself, all the time. even if you're just trying to look out for them, it's irritating and it will make them resent you. kids need to be allowed to make their own mistakes.

just keep that in mind when the time comes.

sorry if i sound bitter.... that's because i am.

i'm sure you're a great mom, you don't need any tips. and congratulations on your baby girl(:  

Answer 3

Read lots of parenting books!  You don't have to follow everything they say, but they all have at least a couple of good ideas.  One thing they will ALL tell you, is to be CONSISTENT no matter what parenting styles you use.

Answer 4

be firm but loving...let them know (by actions & words) that you will always be around for them~~ they will tell you alot more if you do this--I have 3 children and they are all very open with me--sometimes I don't always like what they have to say but, I always listen and give advice.  Spend as much time as possible with them--if you are married I would make sure to have date nights & let the kids have their space too--I would never give up being a mother--it's the best thing I've ever done!!

Answer 5

This is such a broad question...how many kids?...how old?...your age and background?.....In general,,,be kind,,,be loving,,,nurturing...there is so much information at your fingertips....go to children's groups..ask other parents.

Answer 6

r u a girl or a guy?

just try to understand them as much as you can, and try not to be too strict so that when you do tell them to do something, they know your serious
