Raising Grandchildren
Kids are different today. The approach to child-rearing needs to reflect the times in which we live. That may mean adopting your ideas to suit the times and your children.
Seven great tips for raising kids today
1. Communicate your confidence in kids.
2. Never regularly do for kids the things they can do for themselves.
3. Discipline with firmness, kindness and certainty.
4. Teach kids to do what’s right, not what’s easy.
5. Teach kids manners from the earliest possible age.
6. Look for teachable moments with kids.
