Today’s Parenting Tip:

Decide:           Your child can learn how to act when she is mad or scared.

Practice:       Play a “what if “ game with your child today.  Ask him, “If you were really mad at a classmate, what is one thing you could do that wouldn’t get you in trouble?

Tell him what you like about his idea, push back on any parts of the idea that aren’t good and offer some additional good suggestions.

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, KING ARTHUR’S VERY GREAT GRANDSON.  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.)
