Let’s begin from the beginning, the home. It is often said that the home is where the heart is. This is true because often times the home is where we first feel a sense of belonging, and stability. It’s a place where we come together and witness the joys and sorrows of life.
Parenting is hard. There is no doubt about that. Each of us as parents have struggled at some point in finding ways and solutions in helping our kids to grow up and become healthy, happy and productive adults. Understanding your parenting style is the first step to understanding why your children behave the way they do, and how you can improve your parenting skills. We will discuss three problems you might face as parents.
Authoritarian Permissive Authoritative
Giving in, giving orders, and giving choices, out of the three choices, there is one that is truly appropriate and effective. As we examine these three, see which parenting style you can identify with. See if that style proves to serve as a detriment or a benefit to your child.
We will talk about the benefits and also the disadvantage of these parenting styles, as well as learning nonviolent discipline skills with proven results for today’s kids. You will receive parenting tips on dealing with communication skills, discipline, power struggle and so much more. We also provide great resources on parenting books and referrals.

TIP!!!!
Teach children how to resolve conflict with peers. One effective way is to not take over the conflict yourself and order solutions. Instead, establish consequences for bickering that encourage children to find their own solutions.
