Positive Parents
 
Being a positive parent is a great gift to give to yourself and your child.
I think if I could only give you one piece advice it would be this:
 
Trust yourself
 
You are a kind and loving parent.  I know this already.  You wouldn't be taking the time to read this if you weren't.  So with that in mind you know your child best and yourself best - Do what feels natural and trust yourself.
 
Another piece of advice I was given when Jack was very young was this:
 
Take your child to McDonalds often - There will always be a child behaving worse than yours. 
 
Although I didn't follow this advice it made me laugh when it was shared with me, so I'm sharing it with you too.
 
And you know what?  Your kids will misbehave sometimes.  They're kids and they're learning.  The important thing is not to focus on what they do wrong.  I can guarantee if you look you'll find more things you can praise them for.
 
Love your kids.  Be thankful for them everyday and have fun with them.
