As the mother of an eight-year old daughter, I know parenting is a tough job! One of the most important things we can do for our kids is to help them develop a strong sense of self-esteem so they can manage themselves when we're not around.
When setting boundaries for your kids, remember the difference between punishment and discipline: punishment is about controlling your kids (spanking) and discipline is about teaching your kids how to control themselves (consequences). If you have questions on how to do that, please comment. I'm preparing material now for an upcoming seminar and your questions will be part of the discussion.
For those of you who live in the Cleveland-Akron area, I'll be presenting "Self-Esteem: The Key to Your Child's Success" on Wednesday January 24th, 2007 at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center. Best of all, it's free!
