Today’s Parenting Tip:

Decide:        You can help your child believe the compliments you give her.

Practice:      Today, compliment your child several times.  If she rejects it, call her on it.  Tell her you think she is throwing away your compliment.  Tell her you meant what you said and say it again another way.

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 MONSTER WHO LOST HIS MEAN.  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.)
