Ever wonder what the MOST important things to do as a Parent? It may not be what you think. Take a look and see if you knew this or if you do this. Here is Julie Romanowski's TOP 3 TIPS that every Parent needs to know......
TOP 3 TIPS
1st - REGULATE YOURSELF
This is about staying calm in the face of stress, upset and tears. When a child is feeling BIG feelings such as anger, frustration, fear or overwhelm, they are going to express this in a variety of ways that are usually unpleasant. It is our job as the adult to ensure that the child's expression does not effect our emotional stability. In order to do so, remember not to take the child's expression of that big feeling personally - even if it is directed right at you. Remain neutral and calm so that YOU can stay regulated and then assist the child in regulating themselves.
