Parents: 1 on 1 time is GOLD!

Is your child driving you crazy, leaving you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and out of control? Do you find yourself using threats, punishments, or bribes, only to feel worse afterward? These actions can erode your relationship with your child over time, making them more likely to act out. I understand because I’ve been there too. You’re following outdated parenting advice, but it’s time to consider other methods!

Spend 15-20 minutes EVERY SINGLE DAY with your child without any distractions interrupting your time together. Yes this means NO PHONES. Allow them the freedom to choose an activity that they enjoy or find interesting. This dedicated time together won’t cost you anything, but the positive impact it can have on your child's emotional and mental well-being is invaluable. Additionally, you will likely feel better since you will be yelling less often and this will reduce your stress levels. This quality time spent together will significantly strengthen your bond, and when children feel genuinely loved and respected, they are much more likely to listen attentively and behave in a positive manner.
