INTRODUCTION

The following 40 points are quick steps or reminders any parent can take and apply in their family life.
They are intended to get you more aligned with the Law of Attraction, in a way that attracts an easier, more joyful, more fun life with your kids. Just let your eyes rest on the list, and pick whatever catches your eyes. Let the thoughts work on you; just let it percolate into your subconscious. Then one day, one moment it will re-emerge in your thoughts and you can give it a try. Rule #1 in Zero Worry Parenting is: try not to force anything on yourself or your kids. And conversely, whatever comes naturally and feels good... keep doing it.

Now go have some fun!

1. Give some personal, one-on-one time for each family member. They will feel they have the full attention they deserve, at least sometimes, and feel great. . 2. First listen to what your child has to say to you. Then they will be more receptive to your advice. 3. If you have a teenager, actively nd ways to accept the way they are just now, and ways to show it to them. 4. Always see the whole child - even when they're causing problems, resist the temptation to see him/her as just a troublemaker. 5. Be consistent with everything you say and do with kids. 6. Speak simply and clearly. 7. When possible, let your children decide what they, and the family will do (this builds their self-esteem like nothing else!) 8. Show your kids how much you trust them, for instance by letting them do things their way.. 9. Be relaxed when with kids, when there's laughter and an easygoing atmosphere, you can get them to do anything! 10.Challenge your imagination spice up the recurring everyday events that would otherwise be boring.

11.Reduce the use of the word NO. 12.Think of something to do together instead of watching TV. 13.Start a common hobby with your son or daughter: dancing, riding horses, chess, jogging... anything the two of you can enjoy together. 14.Tell stories about the best moments in your childhood, and of good times when they were younger. (This will create positive expectations about their future.) 15.Cook a meal together with the kids (at home, in the backyard, on a campre, while hiking...) 16.Have a wish-fulllment day once a month one child at a time can express their wishes about how to spend the day. 17.Read something together even older children enjoy reading things aloud. 18.Show love to ALL family members (give your child the gift of a good relationship model). 19.Instead of giving new toys, give your kids something new to do. 20.After having a big cleaning day at home, or even just a moment to arrange things in their room, have a small party to celebrate the achievement. (This will reduce the resistance when the next time comes along)

21.Surprise your family by suddenly inviting everyone on a road trip, to a spa day, to a play... 22.Build a hut or cubby-house with the kids, either inside or outside. Every child loves the chance to build at least one hut! Its even better if its in a tree. 23.Allow for imperfection. If everything/everyone around the child is perfect, they cannot learn to accept their own shortcomings. 24.Practice Just Being. Lying on a bed, sitting around in nature, staring into a replace... together with your kids. 25.At least on weekends, live according to the children's natural rhythms. (This will effortlessly enhance bonding and increase their trust in you) 26.Promise the kids something they like, to get them excited about working with you (on something they'd otherwise not be so excited about). 27.Think about the inuence or effect you want to make on your kids just like adults, they may not remember every detail about what happened, but they will remember what it felt like.

28.Get emotional support from another adult, not from a child. 29.Have a 'vice day'. If you normally eat 90% healthy meals, you can sometimes have small vices such as junk food. (So that what's normally forbidden doesn't start to attract them too much over time) 30.Let your child use your camera take pictures together! (Children are free of the esthetic conceptions adults have give them a chance to express themselves with you, and wow you!)

31.Sometimes you have differences of opinion. Does it always really matter? Give in to your child once in a while. Just say you're right. That will take the wind out of their sails and you'll be able to communicate again. 32.Give old mattresses and sofa cushions to the kids they love jumping on their own creations! 33.Theme color days: wear certain colors on certain days with your kids. Have fun. 34.Make conscious choices to make your everyday life enjoyable. Everyday life makes your overall life good, not just the occasional highs. 35.When having parties, give the kids the ne dinnerware too (the best china and linen, the same you give to the adults). Even quite small children can eat with dignity when they get the feeling it's a festive, valuable occasion. It's best to practice this at home. 36.Bake something together! Something he or she chooses to cook. Make a feast. 37.Apologize to your child when the situation calls for it. Your own example works as the best teaching. Were not perfect either thats for sure. 38.Try to imagine how you would feel if you were your child. Put yourself on the level of the child what they want and need. Its quite revealing, and may change how you relate to them.

39.Encourage them to give their weekly allowance to charity one time. Explain about charities - where the money goes and what it does. Let him/her choose the charity he/she gives to. 40.Give praise to your child every chance you get!
