Parenting with Love February 2, 2022 General We all know parenting is difficult, even yet, scary. But in this world, there is no such thing as a "perfect" parent. What we can do is try and provide our children with love. So, let's talk about loving ways to interact with your children. Loving ways to interact: Positive Discipline: Positive discipline is a way of teaching and guiding children by letting them know what behavior is acceptable in a firm yet kind way. For more information on this topic, see the handout. Be Present: Spend uninterrupted time with your children. Include Them: Asking your children what they would like for dinner or allowing them to be a part of the grocery shopping experience by letting them choose appropriate items. Cuddles and Hugs: Offer cuddles and hug your children often. Here are some examples: Play together. Let your child lead the playtime. This shows you are interested in what they like. Eat together with no distractions of the t.v. Go outside for a walk or a trip to the park. Ask your children about their day. Try a kid-friendly recipe to do together.
