10 Tips for Stress-less Parenting

1. Take time out each day to do something for yourself. Exercise, stretching, listening to soothing music, reading or meditation are some proven ways to reduce stress.

2. If you are feeling overwhelmed, arrange for some outside help so you can manage all aspects of your life more effectively.

3. Keep your sense of humor when things don't go as planned. No one is perfect parent-or a perfect child.

4. Accept that children sometimes make mistakes, are inconsistent, and act thoughtlessly- this is part of being a child.

5. Count to 10 before you react when you get angry.

6. Ease tension with a human touch-share a hug, hold hands, or give a pat on the back.

7. Listen to your child and show you value your conversations. Good communication can prevent conflict and stress.

8. Schedule in family fun and fitness. Laughter and physical activity are great stress reducers.

9. Spend time with friends talking about your parenting concerns,. Also share your reflections on the joys of parenting.

10. Learn how children mature so your expectations for your child's behavior are realistic.

Good thing you posted this tips for stressless parenting. I am a father of two kids, but most of the time I am not in contact with them. Only every after 3months we've meet depending on the availability of my vacation leave from work. Everytime I go home seems lot of things changes as to their behavoiural activities. Sad to say they are not "CLOSE" to me, but that is expected. My concern is that, what actions could I  possibly make to cope up my absence during their childhood? Please help me ma'am..Big thanks in advance for your advises.

I agree with you Nora,  material things are not a proof of being a good parent, children needs the presence of your love and attention than giving them expensive things. mama cheers to all parents  tagay

The best thing for you to do is to talk to your children on a regular basis either by phone, email, or  writing a letter. Children longed to hear from their parent especially if one of them is away. Reassure them that you always love them. Children need to be talked to and explain to them why. Be honest to them and be understanding also about their needs. Talking is the best remedy and helps children understand and cope the situation. And whenever you visit them make the best of it. Spend quality time with them.

Children do not need a lavishing parent who attempts to give the child everything his selfish heart desires. Some parents have sought to buy their way out of parental responsibility by indulging their children with liberal bestowals of money and materials things in place of their personal time and relationship. The ultimate deprivation for a child might be to experience no deprivation, and thus to conclude that they deserve, and the world owes them everything they want.
