Avoid the use of "but" in compliments

Parents who often use this tack often react with hurtful responses to their children. When your child is fighting with you, calling you names or otherwise arguing, it can be difficult to remain objective. This only makes the situation worse. Your child will be grateful that you are thoughtful and impartial in parenting if you don't use the word "but" when complimenting them.


Giving your child specific compliments after they have done something is the best way for them to be more positive. When your child does something well, compliment them. This gives them validation and a sense that they have done a good job. Specific compliments are a great way to make sure they don't forget what you said. During potty training, parents clapped and hooted to reinforce the desired behavior.

It creates negative expectations and a negative attitude towards the other person. It is important to avoid using "always," in our statements to our children.

Which style of parenting is best?

It is essential that you raise happy, healthy and well-adjusted children.

This is possible by instilling values early on. Teaching them to respect authority and how to behave towards others is key.

Love them unconditionally, and that's the most important thing. That way, they will become better people.


How can my child stop bullying other children?

Bullying is a common problem among today's youth.

Some children bully others because they feel insecure. Others bully because they like watching someone else suffer.

Most bullies don't know the consequences they cause. They believe they're doing nothing wrong.

So it's important to find ways to prevent bullying in schools.

Here are some ideas:

  • Teach students the different types of bullying. Explain to students that there are both positive and bad forms of bullying.
  • Talk with your child about bullying. Tell him or her that you don't like it when he or she picks on others.
  • Encourage empathy in your child. Encourage your child to think about other people's perspectives.
  • Your child should know how to defend himself.
  • Be consistent. Keep your word if you tell your child that he or she will not touch another student.
  • Be attentive to your child at school.
  • Let teachers know if your child has been bullied.
  • Avoid using harsh words with your child. Instead, use gentle and kind language.
  • Set clear boundaries. Your child must know exactly where he or her stand with you.
  • Show your support by standing up for your child.
