What does my child need from me? - Youth Work in Cornwall

Be positive and stay calm
Avoid getting into constant battles over little things
Show your child good manners and they will learn from you
Take time to listen to your child
Be consistent with rules and boundaries
Make sure you explain consequences clearly
Think carefully before making a big issue out of something
If you find yourself getting stressed… take a deep breath and walk away from the situation for a short time
You can’t agree on everything so when you don’t, respect that it is fine for your child to have their own point of view
Be careful of what you say and how you say it
It’s important to spend time with your family… but don’t forget to take time out for yourself
