The process of being a new parent.

If you want to become the parent that you desired to be, you should investigate further.

Here are the processes that you should know to become skilled in parenting.

- You will learn good parenting skills when you allow your child to win sometimes and make sure that he/she loses as well in some battles that they face. There will be times when you will disapprove of your child's actions and attitude, but remember you do not want to traumatize your child in the process. Remember that too much criticism is not going to do you any good in in your parent and child relationships.

Parenting is a never-ending job.

Many parents face the problem of trying to find the right solutions to help their child with their problems so rest assured you are not the only parent with this problem. A child has to be taught how to take on responsibilities for all and any actions that they perform and they should be responsible for whatever consequences (from doing bad decisions) that lies ahead them. If one day your child comes running to you and starts asking you like "mom/dad I need help", will you say to them sorry, I am too busy now? I do not believe so, you will not tell your child that you are to busy to help them. The first response of your child's question that parents gives to their kid is important and will possibly stick with your child for the rest of their lives. Parents are often times unappreciated and overworked.

Teach your kids self-reliance

Always remember to allow your child to earn things that they want and not for you not to give in to easily to their wants. By allowing your child to experience his/her, life to its fullest on their terms within a safe boundaries level of responsibilities is considered as the greatest gift to give your child. As opposed to other children who have little or no opportunity to be allowed to explore self-reliance, who was never taught to learn that with possession always comes responsibility, and was never allowed to fulfill their very own needs, sadly they tend to acquire a sense of entitlement which obscures their sense of contribution. Moreover, by avoiding conflicts out of fear thinking that your child will not love you back because you do not give everything him/her wants is ridiculous.

Get more compliance from your child.

I really love it every time I hear other kids say, "YES YES", then you can tickle your child or even use humor just to see if you actually can get your child to say "YES" and by doing so you will gain more cooperation from your child. Always relate your command as a statement, and never as a your child a question - Most parents are prone to saying, "Would you like to star doing your homework now?" and other commands which should always be stated using a firm voice such as saying, "It's time to work on your homework now", which can help you gain more cooperation from your child. Basically, a defiant child will readily pull you in a power struggle which will actually wear you down.

Common child and parent problems.

Most parents often think that they know better and having that mind set is the biggest part of the problem because parent actually don't always know what's better fro their child. There is no use in going back down your memory lane (your own school days) if you want to try to help your child with their homework, you'll just probably find yourself lost and unable to understand the child's homework, since all of the teaching methods have changed since your were last in school. However, as kids approach the age of ten or maybe eleven they may start to rebel against this as a lot of their school friends are already permitted to go off and play by themselves. Of course, parents initial reactions might be of rage about the actual cost of the designer clothes, but come to think of it take yourself back in time reliving your school days, how you felt when you wanted to wear the latest clothes.

Make memories with quality family time.

First, parents should try to rearrange their schedules in order the entire family to sit down for meals even if it's just for one meal out of the week.

The following tips ensure that your family time will be stress free and will ensure that you will make your family memories last for a lifetime:

- Plan a simple dinner that is delicious and nutritious, but doesn't require stress while preparing it.
- After finding that your family is now beginning to enjoy the family quality time and are beginning to look forward to your family spending more time together, they may even ask that family dinners be extended. If your family want to spend more time together by extending night time dinners, then you will know for sure that indeed good memories are made. Always remember that it's important to always start small to make family changes. Your family will need time to adapt and to absorb this new family dinning time experience. It's better to make gradual routine changes as opposed to major drastic changes that will certainly bring about all kinds of objections amongst your family. If family bonding time begins your family members feel good then they are most likely to want to experience the family bonding time again so keep the conversation light, bubbly, happy, inspirational and upbeat for the whole family.
