Therapy can be a great opportunity to learn and practice parenting strategies that you can then put to use in your own household. If you or your partner are concerned about your parenting style, consider taking a parenting class or talking to a family therapist. Avoid corporal punishment and don't shame your children for making mistakes. When household rules are broken, follow through with consequences that are consistent and reasonable. When everyone understands the rules and why they exist, you'll have an easier time enforcing them and following through with consistent consequences. Create expectations and guidelines, and make sure that everyone in your household, including your children and other caregivers, understands these rules. Listening and validating your child's emotions are both essential for helping kids learn to recognize their emotions and develop a sense of self-control. Work on making an effort to listen to what your kids have to say without getting impatient or giving a knee-jerk response.
