Parenting Suggestions (advice)
Submit Your Parenting Question
I hesitate to call this parenting "advice" as personally, I don't like 'advice' but I love suggestions.
Suggestions are easier to take, they are just one parent to another offering thoughts on a situation that has you stumped and you can take it or leave it. I'm not some "Authority" suggesting that it's my way or the wrong way - I just will tell you how I have or would approach your situation from my point of view - a suggestion to try or not.
What qualifies me to offer suggestions to other parents? I'm a parent. All parents are qualified to offer advice or suggestions to other parents because simply being one, gives you the only title you need to qualify you as person of knowledge.
As parents, we give our opinions all the time. Sometimes it takes someone outside the situation to be able to see the whole picture clearly. Sometimes just a different way of looking at the world, different life experiences give you insight.
A couple of things to note: I will not offer suggestions to use "corporal punishment". I don't believe it is an effective parenting tool and will not advise anyone to use it - no matter what your kid is doing! Much along the same lines, my suggestions will be geared towards positive discipline techniques as that is what I believe and that is what I know.
So, if you have a parenting issue, something that you are struggling with, a behavior that has you stumped or something you've run out of ideas about, Submit Your Question and I'll do my best to offer something helpful.
