@SoulfullyAButterfly Don't be a helicopter mom because it will only do more harm than good.

I agree, from personal experience, my mom and I do not have the strongest relationship and her parenting choices was a big factor.
@YourCaringConfidant +1 on that. When I was a kid my mother was a bit too into her role...at a certain point, mothering becomes smothering. That only worked when I was little. Once I was in my teens I started seeing the downside of it; after I reached adulthood, my mother's inability to adjust to that life change was one reason why our relationship gradually turned sour--& why I eventually kicked her to the curb entirely.

Thank you so much for your valuable comment. I am not married or have kids yet. Anyhow, what I meant was from my experience of how my mother raised me and my other 3 siblings. She has been my best friend throughout my life to make it easier for me and it has helped me a lot to open up to her.
Much love,

Lol me too! It's always a good idea to keep an eye open for tips. <3
“They” tell you not to bargain with your kids…..bargain with them. It gives them a chance to be heard. 30 more minutes of their favorite tv show will not kill them or you.
These are great!
@SoulfullyAButterfly When flying with toddlers, always arrive a little early and find a moving walkway. You can walk down it for a while but in the opposite direction, so that it acts like a treadmill. A few people may give you strange looks, but it will work wonders and the kids will be all tired out by the time you board! This way you can spend your flight without any overexcited children almost bouncing out of their seats. :)
Funny but amazing tips. Surely will try this someday!
That's the best idea in this thread so far.

i am not actually a parent, but as the eldest grandson on both sides of my family, i had alot of time to be the big brother, which is kind of like parenting!
my one favorite parenting tip is to never use negative emotions when reacting to a child. two wrongs don't make a right.
