Parent Resources



WHAT CAN A PARENT DO?

The number one thing a parent can do is to BE INVOLVED WITH
YOUR CHILD!
-Spend time with your child and show an interest in them.
-Look in your child'd room. It's ok to be a bit nosy if you're concerned.
-Know your child's friends and meet the parents/guardians of your child's friends.
-Set limits and lovingly enforce them
-Eat meals together
-Plan family time- make time to play together and keep family traditions
-Take a parenting class- children don't come with instructions- be open to learning other    ways of parenting, not just repeating how you were parented (or maybe not parented)
-Be what you want your child to be- if you want respect and love, give it.
