Head for a better world

Some help and advice on parenting:

10.Never back down after grounding either a teenager or a young child.Your children will eventually realise that 'you cannot be messed with'.
9.Do not punish unconscient or involuntary mistakes.However, make sure to ground them for a decent period of time if they break any rule hoping they wouldn't get caught.
8.Try not to argue with your children right after finding out what they've done.This will only make you say things you don't really mean and punish them more then they deserve ,which you'll regret.
7.Spend time with your children.Just be around when they are playing video games or watching tv.This will make them more comfortable around you.
6.Try to understand the social pressure they have to withstand everyday.Be reasonable.
5.Always respect their privacy.
4.Have an unusually strong reaction or punishment (such as yelling or taking their favourite activities away)if they really mess things up.This will help them realise how serious what they've done really is.
3.Try to get your child to make the right thing on his own rather than saying you'll punish them if they don't.This will be very helpful in their lives.
2.Know your children.When something happens have in mind how they usually behave and how you've raised them.
1.Get your children to trust you no matter what!This will help you get a better insight on his\her activities ,allowing you to act on it either helping or punishing them.
