Q. How can I be a better parent or grandparent? In this busy world I am afraid I am not doing a very good job.
A. Don’t pass on your own fears; they will come up with enough of their own.
Do not bribe for good behavior; you will be teaching them that everything has
a price. If you continue to get mad over little things you will create big
problems. Do not lie to them, or for them. Do not try to protect them from the consequences of their actions. Be consistent; to be anything less is to confuse the best of children. If you promise it…do it. Don’t threaten a child with consequences unless you mean it. Always warm them with your love, but don’t smother them
