Today’s Parenting Tip:

Decide:    You can help a child receive compliments from his or her dad.

Practice:   One way to receive a compliment is second-hand. Today, make sure your child gets a second-hand compliment from her dad.

If you are Dad, tell Mom or some other family member something great about your daughter, and ask that person to tell your daughter, “I heard from your dad that . . . .”

If you are not Dad, talk to Dad about his child and with Dad’s OK, share what he says with the child.

Today’s Decide and Practice daily parenting tip was inspired by our featured picture book, BECAUSE I’M YOUR DAD.  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.)
