We all want to do a good job of parenting.
Here are some ways to do that: |
| |
- Take care of yourself.
Get enough exercise and rest, eat right, and take time for yourself.
- Talk with family and friends and share your concerns.
Connect with other parents and learn from them.
- Talk to your child’s doctor.
There may be a medical reason for your child’s difficult behavior.
- Talk to your doctor.
There may be a medical explanation for the way you are feeling such as post-partum depression. Follow through on recommended treatment.
- Ask for help when you need it.
Have your partner, friend, neighbor or relative watch your child while you take a break. Use your best judgment in choosing a responsible person to babysit.
- Learn more about parenting.
Books, magazines and the internet are filled with information about raising children and can help you make sense of their behaviors.
Go to www.childhelp.org for more information.
