Fun, Kids and Dicipline

Gosh! Months just passing by so quickly but anyway we had a great 4th of July. First time we brought our children to a firework show though not as grand as the last time me and my husband went before we had children. That was long long time ago. When we got home, we got to see our neighbors shooting fireworks. Sit at our pouch for a while, luckily the weather was just perfect to sit outside. We did not buy any fireworks this year. Planning to buy some next year and maybe for New Year celebrations will see.

We also went to a water park last week. We had a blast. My daughter and my son just cannot get enough of it. Good time to be playing in the water since that it was so hot. My youngest son not much of it. He rather watches his big sister and big brother slide down the slide. We did slide a couple of times on the kiddies slide. He seems to like it though he tries to escape when I tried to sit him on my lap. No big vacations for us this year. Gas prices keeps on going up you really cannot afford to go anywhere.

Oh yes, my husband bought me a new puzzle last week, since that I like doing it so much, it was a Thomas Kinkade again 750 piece Christmas Moonlight. I already started on it until my youngest son push it over yesterday only left the top part intact; my daughter forgot to close the door. It is so funny, how did he know that I have puzzle up on that table. Some children just cannot stand seeing something that line up nice and neat and my youngest son is no exception but though he likes to messing things up I still love him. When come to kids I guess we have to let them be kids but of course with boundaries. If we do not teach our kids about right and wrong they will never learn.

Famous phrase “You lead by example”. We need to respect our children because that is the only way they going to respect us back. There is a lot of truth to when you are hitting, insulting and hurting your child, we are simply showing them that it is okay to behave that way which the truth it is not okay. By doing so will only make your child reject and despise you maybe not now but in the long run. And also they will do the same to other children too.

Discipline is as easy as not giving into them and teaching your child early on that they will not get everything that they want. Talk to your children about what they are doing and why it is not okay. They will listen. That is what I did to my children. If you talk to them with a calm and loving voice they will listen.

Whether we realize it or not children test and push our boundaries; we when we were kid the same way, we just love to push our parents button mainly to get their attention, oh yea all of us been there on that side of the fence, that is why we have to be consistent in everything we do and say to our children. Where there are no inconsistencies, they will absolutely going to cross boundaries.

So parents out there discipline your child with lots of love. Do not discipline your children without giving them any reason why it is not okay for them to do this and do that. Tell them it is for their own good. Good luck!
