Grace Based Parenting
' Help your child discover their abilities and talents, and encourage outlets for them to build on and improve them. Children have a right to be protected from physical abuse, and laws in every state demand severe punishment for those found guilty of physically harming a child. A teenager who breaks curfew may have the privilege of going out with friends revoked until they learn respect for the rules. Be consistent and place the child in time out should they misbehave in the store. They may find a creative outlet in theatre, dancing or art, or they may be exceptionally talented in the sciences. So encourage your child's play.

Make the ground rules crystal clear to your child.

If you want the rainbow, you must to put up with the rain. D. Parton

Teach Children to Respect by Treating them with Respect



In order to teach or child to treat others with respect and dignity, they must also be treated that way. And childhood is a time for children to learn about the world, including how to get along with others. Parents play an essential role in teaching children how to form healthy relationships and grow into socially adept individuals. This social competence allows children to be cooperative and generous, express their feelings, and empathize with others.


The most effective way to teach children this lesson is by modeling the behavior you want to encourage. Every time you say "please" or lend a helping hand, you are showing your children how you would like them to act. Ask for your children's help with daily tasks, and accept their offers of help. Praise your child's good behavior and traits often, and help them realize how good it feels inside to do a good deed or be generous with another person.

Socially competent children are ones who have a strong sense of self worth and importance. When a child feels good about themselves, it's easy for them to treat others in a positive, helpful manner.

Encourage acts of generosity through sharing and cooperation. Let your child know when it's someone else's turn with a toy or on the swing and praise their ability to recognize this on their own. Thank them for being polite and respectful and for sharing and cooperating.

Children know from their own experiences that words can hurt, and that name-calling, teasing, or excluding others affects how people feel. Children want to be treated fairly, but they don't always understand how to treat others the same way. One way to teach fairness is to explain a rule to your child, pointing out that it applies to him as well as to others.

Show your child that mistakes can be a great learning experience, and that they should not be ashamed or embarrassed about making them. You might also want to consider leaving certain things until after your child has gone to bed to make the most of your time together. Toddlers may also bite because they're teething or because they put everything in their mouths anyway, so why not someone's arm? "Because" Just Isn't the Answer Children are inquisitive by nature. Allow your child to have an active say in the delegation of chores. It implies something is easy, frivolous and unimportant in the overall scheme of things.
