What are good parenting skills?

I need some good parenting skills. like rules and stff like that!What are good parenting skills?
have a quality time with them like:


you talk to them as a friend, they are more open in that way especially if they have problems.


you need to respect each children


avoid favoritism


rule and should be enforce


positive criticism


dont give anything they want, be sure that you train them to handle moneyWhat are good parenting skills?
I think good parenting skills are having a stable set of rules, whatever the rules in your house may be, and sticking to the rules and the consequences you have set. But being a good parent involves give and take as well. I think I have a trust worthy teen, I will let him do more than I would if he were a different child. Parenting is not something you can write a book on (some do and make a ton), but I just think that no one knows best but you as the parent to your own children.
Do not give your children everything they want or they will turn out spoilt (I have seen it happen). Warning: If you do that and then suddenly stop then they may take on the skill of manipulation (seen that too). To avoid this: They have to understand that their needs are not the most important.


Another rule is BAN the violent games and make sure they learn simple rules of etiquette. You can put the rules up on the wall so they cannot forget it.
These have been and always will be my parenting skills: love; being resolute; say what I mean and mean what I say; discipline; set curfews and stick by them (when my children were growing up); ignore the ';Everybody has.....'; or ';Everybody does....'; (I tell them to name everybody); teach morality; teach responsibility and acceptance of such; have faith in God and Jesus; being there for them when they need me; being involved in their education and extra curricular activities; teaching how to be polite and courteous. I am proud that I now have grown children and grandchilden who are great.
well a rule should be that if your gonna give your kid a time out , only give him/her a time out for however old she is. I learned that in parenting class. But even better if you don't give time outs at all. You should learn to cope and try to deal with your childs feelings. If you can talk to your child, they'll tell you anything and they won't be scared. Also try not getting mad and try other ways to solve problems. Alternatives. :) hope that helps a bit.
Stay consistent and follow thru. Do what u say you're gonna do. Because once u say you're gonna do something but don't do it then they're gonna pick up on that and run all over u. And it will b hard to fix....





Talk to your kids. Mine are only 2 and 4 and their social skills are amazing. I talk them like adults (within reason of course no baby gibberesh). I don't make them feel embarrassed about asking questions. Especially my 4 yrs old. She's become fascinated with her body and how it works. I make sure I give her straightforward answers that she understands and jus listen to her talk to me.





And respect em. There are times that my daughter tells me things that she feel is really serious. But I find it cute or funny. But I don't laugh. I can't. I don't want her feeling bad about what she's telling me.
Peace. Love and Understanding.


The parent must teach by example. You cant expect a child to behave in a way the parent doesnt himself/herself behave. Children learn by what they see their parents doing not by what the parent tells them to do.
your skills will be your own and your rules will be your own you will know what rules you need to make wen time comes but all i can say is /w me my number one rule w/ my 2 yr old is bed time at 9 NO EXCEPTIONS...
Spend quality time with them,


explain things calmly.





Don't be afraid to discipline,


use spankings as a last resort or when they put


their life or others life in danger.





Pray
do not send me questions because I'm Italian and I do not understand anything
beat the crap out of them while young. That way when they are older and can beat you they will not.
I know it sounds stupid but give your children respect.
do not have kids
