: keep your child from being a spoiled brat



There are so many books out there these days that teach kids (and parents) there are no consequences for their actions, and fail to teach them respect for themselves and others. As a consequence, many children are now turning into spoiled brats who aren’t equipped to handle life’s curve balls. Here is a guide to help your child develop into a kind, caring, and adaptive boy or girl.

Good behavior, and cognitive skills, are impossible without a good night’s sleep, and the ability to self-soothe is one of the greatest lessons you can teach your infant. If your child is otherwise healthy, 9 months old, and still waking up during the night, take charge and give your child the gift of a good night’s sleep. Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child will help you see what your child’s sleep needs are at every stage of life, and ensure your child gets the rest he/she needs.

There is an increasing number of books that show children there are no consequences for bad behavior. (Throw a tantrum? Get a cupcake!) A bad message for keeping your child from becoming a spoiled brat. Finn Throws a Fit shows children tantrums are not without consequences, while reminding them they are loved even when they misbehave.

You cannot communicate rationally with a child (or an adult!) who is having a fit. Without being a good listener, you won’t be able to understand why your child is so upset and work with them to help them calm down. The Happiest Toddler on the Block: How to Eliminate Tantrums and Raise a Patient, Respectful, and Cooperative One- to Four-Year-Old: Revised Edition will give you lessons in how to show your child you understand why he/she is upset. You will be a much more effective teacher if you understand how to communicate with and calm down someone who is extremely upset.

So many parents these days are afraid of letting their children fail. But, coping with failure is an essential skill for getting by in the world. Parents won’t always be around to make sure their kids are OK. Teaching them good decision-making skills and letting them fail so they understand how to succeed are essential for their future well-being. Parenting With Love And Logic (Updated and Expanded Edition) will show you how to help your child/ren learn to consider the consequences of their actions, and give them skills to help them make good decisions for the rest of their lives.
