Parenting Tips from the PPT

It is much nicer to prevent misbehavior then to have to discipline your child after it happens!

For example, parents often have a difficult time getting children off and ready for school. In our fast paced world kids are rushed everywhere. They may have difficulty getting out of bed, getting dressed, and doing all the things they need to do to be ready to leave the house in a short amount of time. Something as simple as getting everyone up 20 minutes earlier can totally change your morning. You can east your family into their day with this extra time. you can eat together and talk a bit before the day begins. It is a nice way to connect with your children before they leave you for the day. Try it!
