Help my kids to solve their problems

Being a parent of a 7 years old only child, I find my boy has kept clinging on us to solve their problem. He always find us as a refuge for this issue and hence I have concern that they may not have the necessary skills eventually to face up the issues of the adult world. Perhaps, I’m overly concern.

Nevertheless, in the effort to address the issue, I went around asking friends and relatives for suggestions and also search the internet for some kind of advise. Moving along, I realize that this is just part and puzzle of the learning process for the kid. I have found a post that discusses about developing Problem Solving skills in the kids. A big part of this development lies with us as parents like getting them to think aloud, avoid telling them what to do, discipline ourselves not to go to their rescue immediately and help them set priority. I’m thinking through these now and would work on putting some of these in place.

So, join me to train our next generation.

Parenting angry kids

I have a couple of kids and at time, they really make me blow my head off. Caring for them is my top priority, yet I have to learn to manage them and at time, their temper. Some time when they get very angry for whatever reason, they either scream and shout, throw their toys around or even kick our little pet dog! This really make me very furious. However instead of using discipline, I guess I have to find some mean to manage their anger.

Well, from the internet, I know that Kids grow and develop through different stages in their life. At each development stage of the child, there are different characteristic as well as behaviors. And from this very post in a website, I found some advise on how to manage the Kids’ anger. Different angles are examined and solution explored, particularly in seeking to understand why the kids do get angry. Some of these pointers are really useful and I guess I will attempt to put into practice. You too check it out.
