A New Year with New Parenting Strategies

Focus on positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior in your children. Praise and reward their efforts and achievements.

Improve communication with your children. Actively listen to them, express your thoughts clearly, and encourage open dialogue.

Commit to spending quality time with your children. Engage in activities that promote bonding and create lasting memories.

Incorporate mindfulness into your parenting routine. Being present and mindful can help reduce stress and improve the overall well-being of both you and your children.

Explore new educational resources for both you and your children. Many online platforms are offering interactive and engaging content for various age groups. One of my favorites for families is

Set achievable family goals for the year. This could include learning a new skill together, taking family trips, or working on a project as a team.

Establish clear guidelines for screen time and technology use within the family. Encourage a healthy balance between technology and other activities.

Don't forget about your well-being. Ensure that you take time for self-care, whether it's through hobbies, exercise, or moments of relaxation.

Attend parenting workshops or seminars to gain insights into effective parenting strategies. Many communities and online platforms offer such resources. If you haven't already taken the TBRI® Caregiver Series it is happening every 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Saturday afternoon of the month.
