			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A just born baby requires a lot of attention, especially in the initial months of life. At this point, when the babies are unable to express their needs, they expect us to understand their needs and to respond to them. <img title="Giving Your Child Positive Attention" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="282" alt="Giving Your Child Positive Attention" src="http://parentinguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/GivingYourChildPositiveAttention.jpg" width="425" border="0">
<p>As and when parents fulfill such needs of babies, they develop a sense of security and trust towards them. Moreover, these responses form the base of learning during their growing years.</p>
<p><span id="more-399"></span>
<p><img title="Cuddling and soothing the baby" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="344" alt="Cuddling and soothing the baby" src="http://parentinguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Cuddlingandsoothingthebaby.jpg" width="228" border="0"> As a parent, you must know or learn the various early needs of a baby. The first and foremost requirement of babies is 100 percent attention, especially when they cry or get annoyed. Cuddling and soothing the baby in such situation helps them to learn to count on you to respond to his needs.
<p>Another important need of the baby is to be loved. In the first six months, the baby cries only for genuine reasons like hunger, pain, teething. When you cuddle them and love them as response, they understand that you are there for them.
<p>Parents should also try to understand the consistency in a baby’s cry. Babies know only one way of communication during the first six months and that is crying. If you notice, you will find that babies cry differently to communicate different needs. Understanding this consistency can help in responding to the need easily. Parents can also sing, hum, or play music to communicate with the babies, which will benefit the child to learn better.  </p>

<p>It is common to see mothers who have lived in poverty abusing their kids. However, it doesn’t mean that they cannot change even if their financial situation doesn’t improve. A recent study states that if proper counseling is offered on parenting skills and if they are provided with emotional support, their behavior towards children can be improved considerably. </p>
<p><span id="more-357"></span>
<p>After the study, it was found that mothers who had family history of abusive behavior towards children were successful in refraining from such act of abuse and neglect considerably after visiting therapists for a period of time. There was great deal of improvement in abusive mothers who went through an intensive counseling program compared to others who didn’t.
<p>When asked, even the women who received these services said that they were able to handle their children in a much better fashion and these sessions on parenting skills helped them a lot in terms of child management. After the counseling, the mothers were less likely to be abusive and used much better parenting strategies.
<p>The study was conducted on 35 families that were identified by the Child Protective Services in Texas. In all these families the mother was the legal guardian and had three children on an average. The average age was 28, had an income of $10,300 annually and was single. The age of the children varied from 3 to 8 years.
<p>This study has proved that proper counseling can help mothers in terms of parenting skills and help the better upbringing of many children.&nbsp; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you take a walk through modern society today you&#8217;ll be more than surprised. Most of usual values, such as communication, friendly meetings, healthy lifestyle, and even children upbringing become really vague and unimportant, very often we replace them with excuses such as: lack of time, lack of money, tight schedules, mobile phones, television, nurses and etc. Such notions as depression, e-mails, anorexia, game consoles become completely natural. We don&#8217;t have enough time to live and the saddest part we don&#8217;t let our children lead full and interesting life. We don&#8217;t have enough time to spend it with the most important people in our lives.</p>
<p align="center"><img title="Banff After School Club" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="228" alt="Banff After School Club" src="http://parentinguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/banffafterschoolclub.jpg" width="300" border="0"> </p>
<p> <span id="more-147"></span>
<p>However, there are families which have no choice but for bringing up their children in difficult circumstances. I mean families where both parents have to work hard in order their child be able to lead normal and full life or families where one of parents or both of them are disabled or partially disabled. They SHOULD pay attention to the government help.</p>
<p> <center><script type="text/javascript" src="http://video.unrulymedia.com/wildfire_5798196.js?vn=np16C-1246537064180"></script></center>
<p>I am not about money now, I am about attention and care. Have you ever heard of school clubs or extended services? They are extremely popular nowadays. They are great for working and busy parents because such parents can easily shape their day the way they need and be 100 percent sure that everything is OK with a child. In school-clubs children are never alone, they grow together with their friends, also these clubs help to develop a child&#8217;s talent or skill. Such clubs broaden a child&#8217;s topic of interest, because there they can be involved in a number of different activities. Socialization is one more advantage of such clubs. These organizations encourage children to interact with each other and even adults. In such a club a child will always be entertained and busy. Enjoy the following video and get an idea what a school-club is. </p>
<p> <center><script type="text/javascript" src="http://video.unrulymedia.com/wildfire_5799820.js?vn=c6tG-1246541771523"></script></center>
<p>And just&nbsp; a couple of words about the following video. It touched me to the quick and made me cry because I still remember my feelings when I was of the same age with those children. I was desperate for parents&#8217; attention and they were always either lack of time or energy to be with me. Their time was too precious to spend it with their only child. I am OK now but I DO remember the bitterness of those days. As to me this day is really FAVOURITE, because parents stayed with their children and helped them. They shared the same activity and it made them closer to each other. What a brilliant idea! </p>
<p>Think of your children and always show them how much you love them! </p>

Then, worry no more, we present you with some tips for parenting during the teen years. Just try to follow these tips remembering that teenage is a very sensitive age when your child matures from childhood to adulthood.
<p>The best way to learn how to tackle your teen kids, is to read books or surf net about teenagers. Learn how to be their friends by talking to them and giving them valuable suggestions and advises on the teen problems like acne, parties and fashion. Try to talk to your child as early as possible by answering their curious questions about adulthood.
<p>Take it easy when you kids talk about sex and give more attention to their personal appearance. Remember girls mature earlier than boys in teenage. However, one thing common to both girls and boys is the fantasy to be the center of attraction. So, try to put yourself in your child’s position and think about your teen years while dealing with them.
<p>Rest assure, parenting teens will be easy if you behave as their friends and appreciate them with open suggestions instead of strict rules.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://parentinguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mom.jpg"><img title="mom" height="227" alt="mom" src="http://parentinguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mom-thumb.jpg" width="232" align="right"></a> Making your children secured by your own act and imparting them proper knowledge about gangs, drugs or sex at proper time is what we call successful and appropriate parenting.
<p>There are different parenting tips which you can adopt to keep your children successfully acquainted with the changing situation of their life:
<ol>
<li><b>Quality time upon quantity of time</b></li>
</ol>
<p><b></b>Spending entire day with your child but interacting less with him or her is not that fruitful. Rather, quality of time you are spending with your child will make your baby secured and friendlier with you.
<p>This time is also known as Genuine Encounter Moment or GEM. Yes, it is obvious that more you are responsive to your child’s need even within your stipulated time period out of the busy schedule per day, more your child will be open with you in his/her problem.</p>
<p><span id="more-5"></span>
<ol start="2">
<li><b>Action louder than words</b></li>
</ol>
<p>Don’t make your children “parent deaf” by yelling or nagging over same thing. At their age, children tend to disobey what you say repetitively. So do something playful which will tell them what is wrong or right.
<p><b></b>
<ol start="3">
<li><b>Separate deed from the doer</b></li>
</ol>
<p>Don’t withdraw your love if your child is going wrong somewhere. It will decrease the self esteem of your child. Make your child feel that you love him/her unconditionally irrespective of the deed.
<ol start="4">
<li><b>Keep a hold on your words</b></li>
</ol>
<p>If you have made a promise to give your child any gift for his/her good deed, then try to keep your promise. It will enhance the respect for you in your child’s mind.
<ol start="5">
<li><b>Kindness and firmness simultaneously does matter</b></li>
</ol>
<p>If you have a plan to make your child learn something within a stipulated time then don’t nag if the timer goes off. Better boost his/her moral to do the thing within the time by being firm and loving both. </p>
