My Parenting Resolutions
Filed in archive Parenting by Melissa Petri on December 28, 2006
Some make resolutions -- from losing weight to improving one's outlook in life -- at the beginning of the secular year. I am one of them.
I intend to improve my parenting skills. Having learned more as a parent the past years, I aim to use what I have learned and make the necessary adjustments in order to become a more effective parent and to make sure that both my kids grow up as good adults.
In 2007, as a parent, I intend to:
- Shout less. I should control myself more and try to breathe deeply before reacting to my sons' antics. I wouldn't be a good example if I show them that shouting will get me what I want.
- Be more patient. Related to above resolution.
- Be consistent. Kids are confused enough, as it is.
- No more "I am working" answer whenever my child wants my attention.
- Be a bit more strict, especially when it comes to bedtime and putting their toys in order.
- Avoid having an argument with my husband when in front of my kids
- Never take shortcuts. Just because I am tired or sleepy does not excuse me from doing things the right (despite it being long) way.
