STRATEGE 1

No two parents show love in quite the same way. Some shower their kids with lots of hugs, high-fives, and kind notes; others are more stoic or reserved. Tap into your own way of showing your kids you care.Spend time together in ways that fit your lifestyle.##Try to make time for regular meals together, go for walks, talk in the car, or meet somewhere for coffee. A daily family check-in during dinner or before bed Figure out a routine that works for you and your family.

STRATEGE 2

*Communicate in ways that work well for you. Texting sometimes gets a bad rap, but so did the telephone years ago. Lots of kids today text—many of them, with their parents. If it works for your family, go for it. The medium you use matters less than how much you truly listen

# Understand what your kids are trying to tell you. Pay attention to body language or other cues that might indicate there’s more to a story.

#When you share things, ground yourself in love, respect, and clarity. Don’t treat them the way you want to be treated.

STRATEGE 3

Are you able to name at least three non-parent adults who are positive role models for your child? That strict but kind violin teacher who pushes 20 minutes of practice a day may be helping your daughter build confidence. Or maybe the neighbor who hires your son to walk her dogs helps him see himself as a responsible and reliable person.

Adults outside our families can be hidden treasures when it comes to helping us parent.

Research shows that all family members can benefit from kids having these kinds of supportive relationships.

You can help nurture them by introducing your children to people you like and respect, and supporting positive relationships that develop naturally.

STRATEGE 4

Most schools and youth-serving programs go out of their way to reach parents through conferences, volunteer opportunities, and special events.

If you’re too busy to attend, at the very least, connect with your children’s teachers via e-mail or phone.

Then start taking advantage of opportunities to actually get into and spend time at the places your kids go.

STRATEGE 5

Kids may not realize it, but having responsibilities is good for them. All people need to know they are valued and valuable; it’s human nature.

Parents can show kids that they are valued at home by giving them increasing levels of responsibility. We can then take it a step further by helping them get engaged in service in the community, whether this involvement is in the neighborhood, school, or somewhere else.

 

STRATEGE 6

Communicate with your child, you’ll know what’s going on in your child’s life, where they might need some help, or if they might need someone to look out for them.

If they have contributing roles and positive influences, they’re more likely to make safe choices, and if lots of people care about them, they can get help and support when needed.

Reward the positive behavior and limit opportunities for negative behavior

STRATEGE 8

Be the mom and dad who asks a lot of questions about school, interests, and activities. You don’t have to be nosy to get to know your children’s friends, but you do have to be the one to set the tone of kind, friendly interaction. Your kids might think it’s a little weird at first, but in the long run they’ll appreciate it.

STRATEGE 9

This one is simple, but definitely not easy: Be the kind of person you want your child to be. Know your values and act on them, treat others the way you would like to be treated, follow your dreams, cut yourself some slack when appropriate, and feel good knowing you’re building the assets your kids need to succeed.

Research shows that in order for young people to succeed, all young people need caring adults and mentors around them.

A good mentor-mentee relationship takes time to develop, but as the parent or caregiver, you play an important role in helping this special friendship grow, whether or not you have much direct contact with your child’s mentor. Enhance your child's relationship with his or her mentor, and increase the likelihood that he or she receives the strengths and supports needed to succeed.

( mentors could be teachers, coaches, private music teachers, neighbors, club leaders, extended family members, colleagues at work, or parents of your kids’ friends.)
