An Apology Works Wonders

Never, ever be too stubborn or proud to extend an apology when you know it's needed. The very simple words "I'm sorry" can resolve the most complex issues if, indeed, the apology is sincere. If it's not, don't waste your time on idle words.

Write it Down

Always write down the cute and funny things your children say every day on a calendar or in a journal. You won't remember it all otherwise, and it sure is fun to look back on them later.

Bedtime Stories on Tape

Have the parent make an audio or video tape reading several stories. The child will have the book in his hand and can follow along. This was most comforting to my little one's when Dad was overseas, in the military, on 6 month trips.

Busy kids kept quiet

When I was a child ADD & ADHD wasn't diagnosed and children like myself were considered to be bad. My grandmother knew better and figured out how to keep me happy and quiet especially in place where children don't have anything to do. She would put baggies in her purse that had different things in each one, like a writing pad and a couple of crayons or little lip sticks with a small mirror and some scott tissue to clean up after. There is nothing more irratating than unprepaired and stressed

In these days of rushing around, take time to do something nice for someone else. Let someone that has their blinker on into traffic, give someone a smile, or open a door for someone. You will be making this world a nicer place.

Read Daily

Read daily. Go to the library on the weekend as a family and choose several books for the week. Schedule special reading time to share one book with your child every night. This shows your child you value reading and your time together.
