Inner Circle Foster Care Serving Los Angeles County, California Newsletter Archives Health Corner By Elvia C. Nurturing non-violence In light of the shootings in Granada Hills, now is the time to reflect and take a hard look at what is happening in our society. How can we make a change to assure a safe and better future for our children? We as adults can take action by, first examining ourselves. How do we deal with daily aggravations? Do we yell and make hand gestures on the freeway? Do we roll our eyes and sigh impatiently at check out lines? The way we handle ourselves during a crisis or an argument with another person teaches our children that conflict and disagreement is part of our daily life. We as adults can take a moment or two to think which is the best way to react to conflict and disagreement handling these constructively models appropriate behavior. For instance take a walk if possible. Wait a moment alone and count to ten (time out.) Take deep breaths. Be respectful. Respect your child. Value him or her and their opinions. No name-calling, no put downs or hostile arguments with the child or your mate.

Kids' Corner Parents' Corner 2002 Report 2001 Report ... Educational Games Positive Parenting Tips There is no doubt about it-being a good parent is hard work, but it can be tremendously rewarding and fun as well. And, like any job, you can also learn to do it better. In conjunction with April being Child Abuse Prevention Month and as part of its ongoing effort to improve the lives of children and families in Wisconsin, Children's Service Society of Wisconsin (CSSW) has compiled a brochure with tips on how to be a more positive parent. The following are some positive parenting tips CSSW offers: Learn about normal child development - Learning more about your kids will help you have realistic expectations. Kids are able to do different things at different ages, and sometimes parents expect too much or too little. Knowing the different developmental stages can help you know that what you are asking kids to do is realistic. Positive Reinforcement - Give praise for the little things as well as the big things kids do. Make it genuine-that's the best kind! Kids of all ages feel better about themselves when they know they have done the right thing. "Try this," sounds a lot better than "Don't do that." Consistency - In the long run, everyone in a family is happier with some basic rules. When kids know what you expect, they don't have to guess what the rules are. Make the rules simple, few, reasonable and consistent. Be sure to follow through, even when they fuss.

About MomsVoice Teaching Children Responsibility by Connie Lothian Responsibility is an indispensable quality for a person to have. Children, who are taught responsibility and self-discipline at home, will grow to become responsible teenagers who can make wiser decisions and safer choices. Eventually, they will grow to become responsible and productive adults. Children need to be taught that ALL actions have consequences. Some consequences may be good, while others are bad. They need to be able to figure out in which direction their actions will take them, and if they are willing and able to deal with the consequences of their actions.

More Parenting Tips Hitting Children Teen Dating My child wants an expensive brand of clothes Keeping family life under control ... Being Good Spectators There are two matters you may want to consider in your decision. What lessons do you want to teach your child about spending money? For example, if it is important for you to teach your child that they have to work for things that are considered luxuries (such as expensive clothing) then you may want them to pay part or all of the clothing cost. If they have to spend their allowance money or do extra chores for the clothing, they may learn to appreciate the clothes more. This issue really provides you with an ideal teaching opportunity around work ethic, values, and money. How do you feel about the type of clothing they want to buy? There are many different clothing styles on the market today, and you need to investigate the type of clothing to see if you feel the style is appropriate for your child's age and body type. Go to the store with your child, and use those moments in the store to explain your values and views. Your child needs to know that just because the style may be popular, it may not be appropriate for them because it is too tight or too revealing. Once again, you have an opportunity to teach your child about clothing and what images they are portraying by what they wear.

60. CCW: Parenting Tips>>Discipline Consistent routines teach your child what to expect and how to act. backto infant parenting tips menu. Discipline is teaching. http://www.childwellbeing.org/AtAGlance_pages/AAG-discipline.html

Discipline is teaching. Use positive discipline techniques and consistency to teach your child to make wise choices, think about actions and their consequences, and set boundaries. Developmental milestones NEVER hit or shake your baby. Your baby's muscles, especially around the head and neck, are still developing. Bouncing your child gently is fine, but rough movements can tear your child's developing muscles and can cause severe brain damage or even death. Your infant is not old enough to understand why he is being punished, and it damages the safe relationship you have built. The best way to discipline infants is by acting in consistent ways and by modeling how your child should behave. By 6 to 9 months your baby should be crawling, rolling over, and exploring the world around him. Because he does not know yet what is safe or how to act, you will have to teach him. Keep your exploring baby safe by baby-proofing your house. Distract your child from any potential dangers, such as grabbing the cat's tail. Show your child appropriate behavior, and remember that your child learns through repetition. Consistent routines teach your child what to expect and how to act. By 9 months your child should have an eating and sleeping schedule. If bedtime is 8pm, stick to it. If you have a no-candy rule, stick to it. Children who know what to expect have an easier time acting appropriately.
