Just so you know by the way, the perfect parent, yea/he does not
exist. Regardless of the numerous of parenting tips that you
receive from everyone, your parents, your friends, even those without kids, there are no perfect parents.
Natasha Daniels, writer of the article, offers some pretty strange
tips on just how you can finally get a handle on your toddler’s
behavior. Perhaps, I should warn you, these set of tips are a tad
bit unorthodox, and I’m sure you will raise your eyebrow a time or two.
No stress, it comes from a perfectly imperfect parent, just like the rest of us, just trying to help bring order to your home.
We are all filled to the brim with obvious parenting tips and advice. Most of the time the challenge isn’t knowing what to do – but to have the patience and time to do it. With three kids – I have found that what works for one kid, completely backfires with another one! Parenting is not a one size fits all type of situation.
I find myself armed with a zillion parenting tools to pull from my tired, desperate tool box to get through the day. Some I favor more than others, but I have been known to completely empty my toolbox – searching desperately for more.
With this in mind – I offer you my 5 weirdest, wackiest parenting approaches – that often work in my home. They may not work for you – as each child is different – but more parenting tools can never hurt a desperate toolbox.Let’s get started with the crazy shall we?
“Use theme songs to get through the day”
I am pretty sure this happened by accident, but it started to work. I always have songs in my head. My subconscious is often playing an internal soundtrack throughout the day. It is weird. I know.
What I noticed, is that I didn’t have to nag my kids…as much. They would hear the song and I didn’t have to do my billion warnings. When they were sleeping, playing or dilly dallying around – when they heard me singing – they knew what was coming next. And surprisingly – it made our day smoother.Compliment your kids for behaviors they aren’t doing….what?!
