Don't you want to know what they are? 3 Common Mistakes Parents make and how to avoid mistakes that keep you from a more positive relationship with your child.
1. Not to consider your kids your whole world - take time for yourself and yourselves as a parenting couple, smothering kids can drive them away, give kids some freedom to make own choices and they will look to you for guidance but be able to fend for themselves.
2. Not to make kids responsible for your mood - choose to make yourself happy first doing what makes you feel good and reach out to those who make you happy and complete. When you are happy and fulfilled you will project this to your kids.
3. Respond Vs React - take some time before you respond to something to calm yourself and calm you child
3 key ninja moves to connect with your kids:
1. Say "Tell Me More", show interest and get them to open up
2. Ask "What" instead of "Why", instead of putting them on the defensive and looking for excuse make them reflect
3. Hug them with your eyes once a day, eye contact in positive situation instead of negative.
