Parenting with Purpose

What would be your first reaction if you find out your teenage daughter is pregnant?

Comment below 👇

1. Be calm : don’t shout, don’t punish but let curiosity lead. Ask them “what did you need it for?”

2. Follow up with a conversation: Try to understand the reason why they stole and then let them know stealing is wrong because it breaks trusts and hurts the owner of whatever they stole.

3. ⁠Correct with love: Don’t attack the child’s person by humiliating them. Correct the behaviour and let them know why it should never happen again.

4. Don’t spare them from the consequences of taking someone else’s property. Lack of discipline is dangerous to your child’s future

5. Re-assure them: Let them know they are welcome to ask for whatever they need anytime. It is important to let them know they would not always get a Yes, but they should not have to steal.

Dealing with a child that is a picky eater, might seem like something that is not too serious on the surface level, but deep down, it can be very tricky. If you consider the amount of time and effort it takes to make a meal, you would feel discouraged that your child wants to eat something entirely different from what you cooked. It could be even more stressful dealing with children who don’t eat certain ingredients, not because of health reasons but simply because they dislike them.

Food, nutrition and eating habits are very intricate subjects in the sense that, any overbearing or enforced decision you impose on a child, can possibly lead to them having undesirable eating habits later down the line. While pressuring a child to eat is usually done with the best of intentions, it can have unintended consequences.
