What does my child need from me?

Be positive and stay calm
Avoid getting into constant battles over little things
Show your child good manners and they will learn from you
Take time to listen to your child
Be consistent with rules and boundaries
Make sure you explain consequences clearly
Think carefully before making a big issue out of something

Be careful of what you say and how you say it
