 | Appropriate age group(s):
toddlers to teens...
Kids need positive direction, love and patience on the parents/guardians behalf. I find it very important for siblings to realize that rules are different for toddlers, preteens and teenagers. When anyone becomes irritated with lifeÆs ordeals, we all need to take our own little time-outs. I believe that time-outs, especially for young children (in moderation), can help calm them down and to regroup their thinking. I find the most overall helpful solution for kids, when a time-out isn't appropriate (mostly just for crankiness), is by telling them that it's a good time for quiet/alone time, to do the things that they enjoy on their own.
Always reassure children daily that they are loved & appreciated in all that they do. Stick with it, patience needs to be worked on by all. I have been told that on occasion, by admitting as parents that we are not perfect, itÆs a normal part of life and it will teach them to strive for the important things in life. Thanks for reading :)
