Working With Children Case Study

Give your children the opportunity to experience all facets of life. It is natural to want to shield them from things that make you feel uncomfortable, like different cultures or ideas different than your own. As long as it isnt going to hurt them, let your children see and experience these things. They learn how behavior can affect others, and it gives the two of you an opportunity to communicate.
When you are going to a place where there will be large number of people, dress your children in colorful clothing that will be distinctive from a distance. You might want to consider matching clothing for the adults in your party. It will help prevent you and your children becoming separated in a crowd.
Help the child to develop routines by establishing
a schedule very early. If you give them specific times for different events they will begin to naturally adjust to these times. This will help to make shower, eating and bedtimes much easier. The child will also feel more secure.
Encourage your child to play on his own without your direct involvement or instruction. Being able to play independently will help your childs creativity and will be a sanity saver for you. Just be sure to be in the room and keep an eye on your child to make sure he is safe.
Encourage your kids to get the right amount of exercise. Your kids should be outside playing at least a few hours every day, barring some bad weather. Turn those HDTVs off and unhook the gaming systems. Make sure your kids are going outside to play in the open air where theyll remain active and healthy.
One of the most important things you can do for your children is to control your own stress by taking time to care for yourself. Parents who take time to recharge can actually have more energy to care for their children than those who dont. It will help you stay calmer and be there for your children.
There is no instruction book for new parents, but you can read as much as you can on the subject of parenting, so that you can give your child the best chance of happiness and security. Whether there are two parents or one, by learning, you can be a great parent. There are so many single parents today and they must somehow find a way to make up the difference to their children. Most times, the parent is working and has little extra time for their children. In spite of the difficulties, many single parents do an amazing job of raising their children.
