Parenting Goals Ideas

Being a parent is never an easy job. The responsibilities in taking care of your children requires a lot of efforts and and strong determination in order for them to grow the way you want them to be. We are glad that someone can supports us in raising our kids. Aside from our partners in life, our parents from both side never failed to show and give their supports in order for our kids to grow up well. But of course, not at all times they are there to guide and helped you out in raising your kids. Can we still properly raised our little ones? I know we can still. Here I am sharing some parenting ideas which will helped us in raising our kids or our future kids.

Prioritize more quality time

When we say quality time this is like bonding moments with your kids. Get more interactions with them because as they grow older their interest and likes changes too. It is much easier when they are young because a simple board game or a bedtime story at night is great way of bonding with them. There are really times that as a parent myself I neglect a quality time with my kids, but to catch up with them, we’ll go on a simple date at the mall. We’ll go eat at their favorite restaurant and play some arcades which both my boys like.

Teach them while they’re young

What does the scripture says about teaching kids, “ Train up a child and in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6) Giving kids responsibilities at a young age is a good training ground for them. You can start giving them household chores that is appropriate for their age. I believe in this way, they can learned how to be independent in no time. It can be a big help for them if they wanted to live on their own in the future. Aside from household chores, we must teach our children some good manners and conduct as early as possible. Since they have tendency to forgot things the next morning, we have to be consistent in reminding them from time to time.

Be firm with your rules at home

Having rules inside our home is not an assurance that your kids will easily follow it. In my experience they will only follow it on the first week and start ignoring it on the following days. Why is that so? I guess being firm with the consequences is the best solution to it. It is much easier to let younger ones do it, but when they grow a little bit they began being stubborn most of the times. Talking to your kids and be consistent in the consequences in breaking the rules will surely help. I just hope so.

Be a good listener

Listening to our kids is a good way to start conversations too. To avoid misunderstanding in the future proper listening should be practice. Listening shows respect and makes you understands the problem well. We should never make a conclusion right away, instead listen to every side of the story in order to make a good decision too.

Focus on family values and be a role model

Paying respect to the older ones is one of the values we should keep. We don’t want our kids to grow rude and have a bad manners at everything. It will definitely reflects on how we raised them. Moral values always begins at home, by being a good model to them I am sure they will learn little by little. Walk the talk, which means putting your words into action. You can’t just say, do it and do that yet you’re doing the opposite. We should always remember that younger ones always looks up to us.

Final Thoughts

We all have different ways to raised our children. The ideas written above was just a guide and it’s up to you if you want to follow it or not. At the end of the day, it is still depends on us on how we want to discipline or raise our little ones. I know we can do it. Just enjoy parenting no matter how hard it will be. I assure you, all the sacrifices will be worth it in the end.
