Enjoying your kids

This will be (if not I would have told ya!) the concluding step to being that great father of parent your kids would love.

Having gone through various steps (check the post), what I have for you today is this final step - Learn to enjoy your child or children whichever applies.

Kids are fun to be with. Your ability to learn and commit yourself to spending quality time with them would make a big difference both to them as well as to you.

Think about this, you want your kid's attention but you would rather watch a football game than taking time off to know which game your kid is interested in, or how he or she is faring with school and peer pressure, that my friend, is going to drive a Brooklyn Bridge distance between you and your kid and we do not need that do we?

so, the way out?

I thought I told you, :)

devotedly spend time with your kid, enjoy his or her company, get to know what he or she likes, take time out for a walk, just have fun together, be there when you are needed, share moments.

Kids love attention, that I could tell ya, from my experience with my daughter, she wants daddy to see this and see that!

You owe your kids a great deal, you owe them love - go beyond yourself and give them that love you possibly never enjoyed.

Hope this helps you as much as it helped me,leave a comment would ya?

How to be the Father your kids love - step 3

Are you losing your kid(s) to games, drugs and the likes?

Maybe its just because with the extra loving and instruction you have been giving, there needs to be and addition of this vital step in winning kids and that is our number three today.

Learn to Correct your kid in Love

Irrespective of the behavioral patterns of kids at various stages of their life, LOVE is still the glue that keeps not just families but friends together and that is what we want for you right? yea, kids love to be told how they could do better next time when they mess up - same goes for yours too.

so the key?

1. Never correct your kid when you are angry

2. Avoid making any form of remarks when in that state of anger, why? you might just say something that you may forever regret in life.

3. Never correct without giving a good reason for the correction, why? that kid may just do it all over again,meaning - no message got, no lesson learned.

Discipline is good for kids, especially when in their formative years. I believe kids should be disciplined in a loving manner knowing that it took a hell of a job to get them from conception to delivery. I ain't ready to loose my kid to an act I could control and deal with.

what do you think?

stick around for other steps..

How to be the Father your kids love

Love like many say, is not enough, so to add to giving unconditional love to your kid(s)learn to:

Instruct and teach your kids

Attention is the key for winning kids these days.

you could say I love you and not be around to help form their character and how to handle life, or fold your sleeves and show your love by passing instructions that you will be ready to back up with love.

Like I said earlier, it is either you make a commitment to impart virtues into your kids today for a long standing legacy you’ll be proud of or suffer the consequences which would build over their formative years among many could include; violent behaviors, withdrawn attitudes that depict funny involvements in cults, drugs, pornography or any other social vices, just to mention but a few.

Let this guide you, ‘what you do not teach your kids they will pick from others’ and guess who suffers the shame and pain, yes! Got it like I knew you would – You!

How to be the Father your kids desire

In his world of video games, football, and internet there is very little a man can do when he has lost the attention of his kids, did I say very little a man can do? yes!

If there is anything you can do, it will be looking for how to get the attention of a kid that alread thinks you to be too old fashioned for today and probably too jealous to admit you wished you were they.

Even if you had a way, you will have to be prepared to face a barage of word assaults to get even an iota of attention, so how does this article help, simple, this message is to help you try not to loose your kids attention in the first place, and if you have, this piece would do just fine.

Now for the clues

Learn to Show your kids unconditional love

Yep, learn, as a man you are likely going to be overtaken by ego by trying to always insist things be done your way, because you think you love them. Get a life, there’s no use saying you love someone and all you do is either bully as a form of showing affection or buy fancy presents, jewelries and that’s it. Many kids today like to have their dad say it and mean it.

Why, you ask?
Kids these days can smell a lie from miles away. They can easily tell when you’re faking it, which also would cause them to fake obedience. And if you must be outstanding as a father you must understand this, children need your ‘presence’ and not your ‘presents’

this would lead to our next tip...

Helping Your Kids to Make Money Online

Kids are adorable. Many often hope to have them, some do, others don't. But what actually matters is how to ensure these little "Bennie bunnies" are well taken care of. Now I would love you to give this article a deep thought and ask yourself "do I want to do this?"

when you're done, feel free to let me in on your decision.

Here's the article by - Matthew Bredel

Parents have a huge responsibility in teaching their children about how to succeed in life. From basic discipline to table manners to educational matters, there is so much children and teenagers need to learn that, as parents, it can be easy to neglect certain areas that seem less urgent. However, educating children about how to earn a living and provide for themselves is just one of those lessons you can't afford to neglect.

As tough financial times are upon us, it is more important than ever to help our children find creative ways to bring in income. We don't know where the economy is going to be in ten or twenty years. It's also hard to say what the employment situation will be down the road. But we can guess that the Internet is still going to be booming.

Even during a recession, when the rest of the business world is struggling, online entrepreneurs continue to report surprising success making money online. How can we help our children to tap into this? It could be the answer to their future financial security.

Opportunities for earning money online are seemingly endless. Chances are, your child is already a pro at working the Internet, i.e. playing games, using Facebook or Myspace, researching for school topics. Why not channel that interest and ability into learning about online careers?

Parenting experts agree that identifying your child's skills and helping them to develop them is a great way to connect with your children and maximize their potential. Since most kids and teens are already illustrating skills when it comes to the Internet, it makes since to work with what they have.

If you start now prepping your child's Internet skills and showing her how she can do what she enjoys to make money, the sky's the limit. Imagine what could happen by age 18!

However, perhaps even more exciting than a secure financial future is the chance to do something of importance with your child, developing that all-important bond. This is what quality time is all about.

If you have an online business or even an online business interest, involve your child. Show him the ropes. Include him in on the research, so he can know what you are doing. Let him ask questions. If you think he is interested and ready, give him a small job for which he can be responsible.

Of course, it is important when you are working online that you monitor your child and help him to learn to identify scams and even Internet predators. This in itself is a great skill for any child or teenager to have.

It is exciting to think about the potential that lies within your child. By interacting with her and helping her to determine her strengths and weaknesses, you will not only develop important skills for life but you will also learn more about the person your child is becoming. Whether your child becomes the next big Internet marketer or never really gets past Facebook, you won't regret spending time with him and building skills for life.

Kids and the Future

Waoooo! back at last, and I just wanted to say a big I AM SORRY for being gone too long.

Now that done I guess we can now do justice to the topic at hand...

How to Win the Bedtime Wars

Okay, your kids just won't go to bed as told, how about reading something from an expert in this area and try it out, who knows you may just get your desired result this time

Are your children fighting you tooth and nail when it is time for them to go to bed?
Are you pulling your hair out and feel you have no options left?
Learn the simple secrets to restoring peace in your home and regain your sanity.

Things You'll Need:
Self Control
Patience
Persistence

Step 1
First thing that you must acknowledged is that you have to be the one in control, even when the children have seem to all gone mad. You must also know that this is going to take some hard work on your part but if you stick to it, you will have a totally new peaceful environment for everyone involved. You'll have a happier home.

Now, from this point on, you can not lose your temper. Always keep your composure no matter what. When the children see that you are not reacting they will get tired of acting in a demanding, whining, battling rage.

Before we get to what your actually going to do, you need to know that infants and children are different and therefore I will give you directions on how to go about handling each one.

Step 2
We will start with infants who don't want to sleep in their crib. Make a bedtime routine for your infant. Give your baby a bath, rub him/her down with lotion and finally give your baby a bottle or breastfeed before putting him/her down for the night.

Lay your baby down into the crib. Turn the lights out and sit down next to the crib. (Note: be prepared to listen to your baby cry and maybe scream and even say your name several times.) This is the hard part. When your sitting next to the crib, do not look at your baby, even if he/she is calling for you. Stay calm, you are teaching your little one to learn to calm and soothe themselves. This will work if you don't cave in. If you find you can't bear the sound of your baby's cry, wear ear plugs, or listen to an mp3 player.

When your child finally starts to settle down, move about a foot away from the crib, towards the door. Wait for about ten minutes and if there is no reaction from your baby, continue to keep moving a foot closer to the door. When your baby is finally asleep, you can then get up and leave the room.

This whole process will take up to 45 minutes each night. But, if you stay consistent, your child will fall asleep on his/her own without any help from you.

Now, on to your older children. The ones that throw temper tantrums and keep getting out of bed and whatever else they do just to avoid going to bed.

Again, make a bedtime routine, baths, have the last snack of the night and finally read a bedtime story. Take your child to his/her bed, give night time kisses and hugs, and tuck them into bed and tell them goodnight, its time to go to sleep now. Walk out of the room and close the door.If your child gets up out of bed, put your child back into bed and tell them it is time to go to bed and tell them goodnight once again. (Now you'll hear the crying and kicking and screaming.) Stay calm, just ignore this. They will probably tell you they hate you, but don't take that personally. What they really hate is that they know they lost control of you.

If your child gets up again, this time, take him/her back to bed, tuck him/her in and tell them goodnight one last time. Now, the third time your child gets up out of bed, you must stay in control and what I mean by that is you must not show any anger. Keep a straight face, no angry looks, no happy looks, just a blank face. Put your child back into bed, but this time, don't say anything, not a word.

Step 3
You'll continue to do this until your child exhausts him/herself. After about a couple of nights of this, your child will break down, knowing they aren't calling the shots anymore and they will know that bedtime is just that, bedtime.So, in the end, the simple secret formula is you must keep your self control, be persistent with your rules, and have patience because this does work.

Enjoy your peaceful nights!
