Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:   Being powerful does not mean having power over others.

PRACTICE:   Today, sit with your child and make a list of ways he can be powerful.

Don’t let him put any ideas on the list that put down other people or hurt others.

Congratulate him for thinking of good ways to be powerful.

Today’s Decide and Practice daily parenting tip was inspired by our featured picture book, PICK A PUP.  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 the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
