Today’s Parenting Tip:

Decide:            Children need to “feel” your love.

Practice:         Today, while watching TV together, silently and gently stroke your child’s arm or forehead or hair.  If he objects, calmly stop and don’t be offended.

Try in a week or so at another time, maybe while reading at bedtime.

Let us know which tips you like the best or any others you think of that you want to pass along to others.

Today’s Decide and Practice daily parenting tip was inspired by our featured picture book, THE CHANDELIERS.  Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
