Bourgeois Baby might make quality baby bibs, but we’re parents first! There’s so much to learn as a first-time parent, including great habits to get into. That being said, we want to offer some advice about some habits from our friends and family that are magnificent parents to their kids.
They talk and listen to their children. We’re not thinking of one-sided conversations here. Communication between a child and parent is a crucial part of their relationship as it developed in time. As a parent, it’s important to not only tell your children things, but to also take in and process what their response is to you.
They follow through with what they say. This includes commitments and punishments, too! Follow through with your rules and prior engagements as much as possible as it creates trust, respect, and reliability for both you and your child.
They allow their children to experience disappointment. It’s natural for a parent to want to protect their kids from failure or sadness, but it is a part of life that cannot be avoided. These moments allow your children to learn and grow to become a better person.
They understand their child’s behavior versus who their child is. All children make mistakes, but it’s important they do not use this to define who they are. Making the distinction between the two when addressing problem let’s your child know you love them, but do not approve of what they’ve done.
They know there’s always more they can learn. No one is perfect, but embracing the idea of becoming a better parent is the first step of many. There are many ways you can improve the lives of you and your children, from counseling to research on simple children products, you can always work to giving your child the best life and resources possible.
