B)Teaching
Every moment of interaction with a child is a
teaching moment.
Schools and teachers are only a part of how
children learn. Parents have a huge role in
teaching. Be a participant in their whole
education.
PARENTING IS LEADERSHIP
C). Guidance:
Offer your advice. Share how you would do things-
have done things- have faced things in your life.
Offer your guidance, but give the child the free will to
make decisions on their own within boundaries and
as long as family rules are not broken.
Set family rules. Children need rules and look to us
for these limits. Set reasonable consequences for
breaking the rules.
PARENTING IS LEADERSHIP
D). Monitoring:
Be KOOL
K now what your child is doing.
O bserve them. Watch how they act and whom they
interact with.
O bey all the rules and laws of society. Don’t allow
them to break the law-drinking, smoking etc.
L isten to them and listen intensely.
PARENTING IS LEADERSHIP
E). Time:
Parenting is an enormous time investment.
Don’t try and side step this involvement.
No one will parent for you.
It is your gift, your privilege, your opportunity.
