Find the right discipline balance:
Research indicates that being a nurturing parent-not too harsh and not too lenient-helps children behave best. This requires being kind, understanding and helpful. Here are some nurturing messages to send your child:
I care about you.
I will be calm when you tell me difficult things.
I will help you learn from mistakes.
We are learning together.
I have confidence in you.
I hear what you are saying.
I am so happy you are my child.
You are an important part of the family.
I love you.
