  • Praise their good behavior, and ignore or keep comments brief when dealing with bad behavior.
  • Always plan extra 30 minutes when going out with kids, allowing for enough time to dress up.
  • When angry, count to ten before speaking.
  • Set clear boundaries and enforce them consistently, as kids will test them if they're too lenient.
  • You don't have to limit your reading to just silly stories; kids will eagerly listen to serious topics as well, especially if they have pictures to accompany the stories.
  • Teach children about the hard money from a young age

"keep comments brief when dealing with bad behavior"
I suck at this one. My wife harps on me about it all the time. "You are talking to a 5 year old not giving an employee a performance review". Haha

Not really about serious topics, but my 5-year-old son only reads non-fiction books on animals (hippos, dolphins, aquariums). As an English teacher, I’m a bit disappointed at how I don’t get to immerse him in fairy tales, though I know I should encourage his reading interest haha
