"3Fs" of Effective Parenting

How you react to your child is how your child going to develop and learn. The "3Fs" Effective Parenting is the foundamental element for Parenting skills. Once you applying this in your parenting, you will find the changes in you and your child relationship.

The "3 Fs" of Effective Parenting
Discipline should be:

• Firm: Consequences should be clearly stated and then adhered to when the inappropriate behavior occurs.
• Fair: The punishment should fit the crime. Also in the case of recurring behavior, consequences should be stated in advance so the child knows what to expect. Harsh punishment is not necessary. Using a simple Time Out can be effective when it is used consistently every time the behavior occurs. Also, use of reward for a period of time like part of a day or a whole day when no Time Outs or maybe only one Time Out is received.
• Friendly: Use a friendly but firm communication style when letting a children know they have behaved inappropriately and let them know they will receive the "agreed upon" consequence. Encourage them to try to remember what they should do instead to avoid future consequences. Work at "catching them being good" and praise them for appropriate behavior.

Guidelines For Good Parent Child Relationships

1. Try to set a side time on a regular basis to do something fun with your child.
2. Never disagree about discipline in front of the children.
3. Never give an order, request, or command without being able to enforce it at the time.
4. Be consistent, that is, reward or punish the same behavior in the same manner as much as possible.
5. Agree on what behavior is desirable and not desirable.
6. Agree on how to respond to undesirable behavior.
7. Make it as clear as possible what the child is to expect if he or she performs the undesirable behavior.
8. Make it very clear what the undesirable behavior is. It is not enough to say, "Your room is messy." Messy should be specified in terms of exactly what is meant: "You’ve left dirty clothes on the floor, dirty plates on your desk, and your bed is not made."
9. Once you have stated your position and the child attacks that position, do not keep defending yourself. Just restate the position once more and then stop responding to the attacks.
10. Look for gradual changes in behavior. Don’t expect too much. Praise behavior that is coming closer to the desired goal.
11. Remember that your behavior serves as a model for your children’s behavior.
12. If one of you is disciplining a child and the other enters the room, that other person should not step in on the argument in progress.
13. Reward desirable behavior as much as possible by verbal praise, touch or something tangible such as a toy, food or money.
14. Both of you should have an equal share in the responsibility of discipline as much as possible.

Introduction of Children Mind Development

Welcome to Children Mind Development. We are here to provide the knowledge and tools for parents better understanding of their unique child/children and to enable parents to develop each child to become successful human being they were meant to be.

Our philosophy is "Ehancing Mind Power". Here, we are sharing knowledge built on years of child development research which shows that while each child is “pre-wired” with certain traits, temperament and abilities, it’s the interaction with their environment, especially their parents, which ultimately determines how these characteristics are manifested as they grow and develop into competent adults.

A child development is the result of “transactions” between the child and the environment. Each transaction results in new learning which results in the development of the mind. The right frequency, quality and intensity of interactions between children and their environment will result in each child reaching his or her fullest potential in life.

If you have ever observed the progress of a major building project, you have seen that scaffolding is put up first and is used to provide support while the structure is being built. As the project reaches each stage of completion, the scaffolding is gradually removed as the building can support itself. The parent’s role in child development is to provide the scaffolding for their child and gradually remove it as the child attains skills and abilities while they move from one developmental stage to another. And the most vital element of child development is the children mind development. By spending time and follow us in this Children Mind Development blog, you will be able to provide just the right type and amount of scaffolding and mind development for your child.
