Research indicated children make better decisions when given honest information. ⠀ ⠀ They tend to discount adults who are moralistic and make statements they don’t believe. ⠀ ⠀ “Hurry up or I am going to leave without you.”⠀ ⠀ “You will get sick if you don’t eat your vegetables.”⠀ ⠀ “Stop crying or the police or bad guy will come get you.”⠀ ⠀ “When I was your age….” ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ This is how we end up teaching young children to discount our statements… and then when we wonder why teenagers don’t believe a thing we say about drug use. ⠀ ⠀ So satisfy their curiosity honestly now rather than conditioning them to not trust you later. ⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #blendedfamilies #stepfamilycoaching #coparentingatitsfinest #stepfamilylove #divorcesupport #divorceparents #consciousparenting #daddytime #dadslife #dadstuff #fatherdaughter #fathers #girldad #nrparentcoach #mindfulparenting #momblogger #natasharamchandani #newparenttips #over40 #parentingadvice #parentingcoach #parentinghacks #parentingproblems #parentingtips #parentingtipsandadvice #parentsupport #peacefulparenting #positivedisciplineindia #positiveparentingtips ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CQXnP9SpTCY/?utm_medium=tumblr

By teaching our children the feeling words appropriate to their age—and encouraging them to use them—we support their emotional growth now, into their teen and adult years.⠀ ⠀ How would you use and teach this word to your child?

Her 1st day of kindergarten to her last day of high school. She’s the princess, the only granddaughter, loved beyond comprehension. This sweet little girl has grown into an amazing young lady! We, The Vale Cruz’s & The Raglands, are so proud of her and looking forward to her next adventure.
