Parenting Resolutions for 2010

I wanted to post this up earlier in the new year...oh well here goes some Parenting Resolutions for those parents and new parents to-be..not only for this year but it's good to continue applying them for the rest of your parenting days/years with your growing children. I've shared about this on FB last December.

1. Not yell so much;

2. Stop using threats to keep your kindergartner or grade-schooler in line;

3. Be more loving - and find other ways to help your 5-year-old or 6 - 8-year-old feel good about himself/herself;

4. Slow down and really listen to your child;

5. Give each of your children the one-on-one time he deserves;

6. Find more family time;

7. Plan fun outings more often;

8. Read more with your child - whether he's a beginner, intermediate, or advanced reader;

9. Watch less TV;

10. Make healthier meals;

11. Encourage your child's relationship with grandparents;

12. Share your beliefs with your child and - if religion or spirituality is important to your family - make them part of your family life, traditions, and rituals; and

13. Nurture yourself so that you can better nurture your child.
