Keep up to date with the latest parenting practices and research. Dive into books, attend workshops and explore reliable online resources to familiarise yourself with current trends and approaches.
Be a helping hand by offering specific ways you can support your son or daughter. Whether it's babysitting, cooking meals, or running errands, your flexibility and availability will be greatly appreciated. Just remember a supported family is a calm family.
Â
Be available for your children without becoming overbearing. Give them space to figure things out, while assuring them of your support. Let them lead and step in when they need guidance or a helping hand.
While your experience is valuable, remember that times have changed. Share your wisdom selectively, focusing on general principles rather than insisting on specific methods. Respect the uniqueness of their parenting journey.
