Discipline 

During the months that your baby is in your belly, you and your partner may have dreamt of the type of family you wanted to be: it is the natural process of parenting.  You may have wanted to raise your kids just like you were raised, or perhaps there were certain experiences of your childhood that you just don’t want to repeat with your own kids. Finding your parenting style is important so that both you and your child or children can enjoy the family experience.

  • Find your own parenting style
    Some couples feel that their own parents did such a great job raising them that they don’t know if they will be capable of doing the same with their own kids. But this attitude is usually the exception to the rule, because most of us want to do a better job than our parents did.
  • Positive discipline
    Kids, from their first years to adolescence, can try our patience to unimaginable limits. They do this because they are testing their boundaries and discovering what they can get away with. Applying discipline in a positive and intelligent manner will help your kids not only know their limits...
  • Don’t do something you will regret later on
    Who hasn’t lost their temper at some point? When you have kids, losing your patience is quite normal, and sometimes you have to exert a lot of self-control.
  • Time-outs or thinking time
    One of the tools that are most widely used in our times is the “time-out” or thinking time. This method to stop an inappropriate behavior is similar to the old punishment of standing in a corner, or facing the wall, but it is done more respectfully and with a different objective.
