About this deal

Kids aren’t born politically correct. So, if you have any tendencies toward political correctness, now is the time to face reality and get over them. Kids call poop what it is. They’re more than happy to explain it to you — repeatedly in great detail. The same is true of throw-up, barf, heave, and spit up. All are real things about which your kids are more than happy and willing to share their unique knowledge. To learn more about making patience a part of your character, read Chapter 5, The Art of Keeping Your Cool. Behavior-management skills

A good role model isn’t necessarily someone who is perfect in every way. If you can walk on water, that’s great. Otherwise, try doing the things that you know are right. You’ll no doubt get upset sometimes. That happens. The important part is to apologize later, or explain to your kids why you got upset. It’s healthy for kids to know that their parents get upset or mad. Everyone does. How you handle being upset is what’s important. In Chapter 23, I discuss communicating with your child, which includes listening to what your child really has to say and letting your child know that what he or she says is being heard. to know what the months ahead hold; you have given birth and need advice from a book that doesn't talk down to you or make you feel as though there's something wrong with you (because there's not) if you're having a hard time making the adjustment to parenthood.

Believe it or not, all this is good. Children think adults are the weird ones who decide the meanings of these favored words — offensive or not. The thing to remember is that your kids are just trying to communicate. So, in this game, becoming comfortable with common, everyday, descriptive kid language, regardless of how tasteless it sometimes gets, is up to you. The four duties of a parent Being consistent and following through are sort of like cousins marrying; the two concepts are related in a weird kind of way. If you’re not consistent, and you don’t practice follow-through, you’ll have problems with your kids. Do what you say, and think before you say it (the art of follow-through)

Being a new parent can make you feel more than a little frazzled. During your baby’s first year, take advantage of whatever helps, including the affirmations in the following list. Repeat them whenever the need arises. And expect the need to arise often. Be prepared to get down and dirty with your children. Experience the outdoors with them — don't just watch them. Parents shouldn't scold their children for getting up close and personal with a mud puddle, dirt, a bug, or more. Become childlike in your pursuit of the outdoors and your children will appreciate even more the time you spend together in the wilds. The basic rules of communication are that you be specific about what you want and that you don’t babble when you say it. A bad role model doesn’t necessarily mean being a bad person. Bad role models typically are workaholics, alcoholics, drug users, or people who put material things ahead of their families — the oblivious parent type. RememberLet your kids help you. Even if that means letting them stir flour all over your counter when you’re cooking. Going to the store and cleaning house together can also be fun. Such a strategy not only shows your children that work can be fun, it also helps them discover essential skills and enables you to spend time developing your relationship with your child. Communication is the key to your relationship with your children, and this little section is just the tip of the iceberg. Refer to Chapter 23, Communicating with Your Child, and read it carefully. Good communication is the foundation of a good relationship. ParentsApproved

Just because my child has crying jags (and/or doesn’t sleep through the night at 3 months), it doesn’t mean that I’m doing something wrong.A question commonly posed is, "When is my child old enough to begin hiking and camping?" The answer depends on your child. No two personalities are the same; no two children the same. What may work for one family may not work for another. Baby has a cut that is still bleeding after you’ve applied pressure for ten minutes; or the cut has jagged edges, is a puncture wound, is significant and located on their face, or is in an area where it’s unlikely to stay closed by itself (a joint, for example).
