  A Parents Guide To Positive Parenting
A Healthy Balance

Children are more likely to feel good about themselves when they feel loved by their parents. Here are some positive parenting tips:

  • Encourage children to do activities they enjoy and do well.
  • Spend time playing, listening and talking with your children every day.
  • Compliment and encourage your children every day.
  • Tell your children you love them as a person, although there may be a behavior you dislike.
  • Comfort and reward your children with a trip to the beach, park or library or by reading books or playing games together.
  • Do not use food as a reward.
