The 3 F Of Parenting

Parenting is one of the most important aspect or relation, that need lots of patience and care. Not everyone can just act like a parent. A parent need to look after each and everything, as they are the one that shape their child. A parent need to be very careful in handling their child. SO to hep you, we have come up with 3 F of Parenting and they are-
1. Firm:
Consequences should be clearly stated and then adhered to when the inappropriate behavior occurs.
2. Fair:
The punishment should fit the crime. Also in the case of recurring behavior, consequences should be stated in advance so the child knows what to expect. Harsh punishment is not necessary. Using a simple Time Out can be effective when it is used consistently every time the behavior occurs. Also, use of reward for a period of time like part of a day or a whole day when no Time Outs or maybe only one Time Out is received.
3. Friendly:
Use a friendly but firm communication style when letting a children know they have behaved inappropriately and let them know they will receive the “agreed upon” consequence. Encourage them to try to remember what they should do instead to avoid future consequences. Work at “catching them being good” and praise them for appropriate behavior.
