Are you in need of some parenting booster? Feel that you could benefit from some tips of positive parenting skills?
Well, I sure do. Every morning for the past week, I tell myself that I'm NOT going to shout at the kids. I find that the home environment has not been too good lately. Too much negative energy -- us parents shouting at kids, kids shouting at each other. Aiyoh, really feel like running away sometimes. But I've come to realize that for the kids to change, I have to change first. That's why, before starting the day, I have to tell myself "I'm going to be a better mother today. I will be more calm." It does help a tiny bit to keep that statement in my mind the whole day. However, bad habits are hard to break.
Motherhood does seem tougher on certain days don't you agree? Anyway, just wanted to introduce this FREE parenting guide called BE A GREAT MAMA. It's wonderful to have these occasional reminders. I don't know about you but I always feel a little strengthen after reading such things.
It's a 29 page guide with the following parenting topics:
- Being a Role Model
- Showing Unconditional Love
- Being Consistent
- Protecting Our Kids
- Giving Them Choices
- Playing with Your Children
- Giving them Praise
- Avoiding Bribery
- Controlling Your Anger
- Listening to Your Kids
Hi Lian, good posting.

A good way to keep an eye on your kids progress in school is to be an active part in their education. I use this site with my kids http://www.k5stars.com It allows me to assign a 'game' for them to work on math, reading, spelling and more. Check it out!
