Parenting with Young Children

Parenting little children is exhausting since they require constant attention. In order for you to help them meet their developmental milestones of taking initiative and confidence, parents need to learn how to encourage their children without too much pressure. Do you want your child to be a great athlete, a top student, the best singer. Well that's natural. So, in your encouragement, you want to check in with yourself to see how much pressure you are applying to your child and understand how they are starting to feel about themselves.

Teenagers go through a major change. The desire independence, need less of your time, but can create more headaches for you. The rapid change in your child as they hit puberty, is almost shocking. They go from being a cute little kid who always wanted your time, to an annoyed teenager, who is embarrassed to be around you. Some parents can go through feelings of sadness and loss.
