As adults, we too are always learning. It is important to understand that we may not have all the answers about parenting, but we are able to continue to learn as our children continue to grow. Our Parent Resource Area offers information about classes, books and support groups about parenting. Monthly parent meetings also provide families with the opportunity to share and learn from others. Please feel welcome to take advantage of any of these resources.
Some things will come naturally, but learning more about what children really need will make you a better parent and that will Remember that being a great parent is part natural, but also help our children be good parents when they have kids.

Set firm limits and rules children can understand. Use a firm, kind voice, and keep directions short. You may need to repeat rules and directions until your child remembers for himself. You may not watch that television program. You may turn it off, or I will do it. When you put your shoes on, we will go outside. Yes, I know youre eager to go, but the car will not start until you are in your car seat. Share as many happy times together as possible. Let him know you enjoy being with him. Laugh, play, hug, and cuddle with your child. Compliment good efforts even if the result isnt perfect. Talk with and read to her. Doing these things lets children know that they are important to you and encourages them to want to please you. It takes time, readiness, and practice for children to learn to follow rules just as it does for them to learn physical skills, such as walking, or social skills, such as sharing.
