Relationships between parents/children
Children's development can depend on the relationship between their parents. Children who feel loved and cared for are more likely to thrive than those who do not. There are two types of love relationships: primary and secondary. These can be based either on the parent’s love or the support of a non-parent caregiver. Maltreatment of children is often caused by loss of love for the primary caregiver. But other factors could also impact the relationship. Divorce and cultural norms within the family can also impact the child's development.
Different parenting styles
The impact of parenting styles on children's growth can be varied. These parenting styles are often influenced in part by their experiences with parents and their religious beliefs. Parents who follow a particular parenting style are likely to produce children with positive behavior, strong self-esteem and self-competence. But, it is important to consider other factors before choosing a parenting style.
Time-outs
Time-outs are a popular method to control children's behavior. Arthur Staats developed time-outs, which are a form discipline that requires the child to be removed from an activity for a brief period. This technique is effective in reducing negative behavior but can leave children feeling angry and isolated. Use this method with care by parents.
Persuasion
Child rearing practices include the use of persuasion. While it is important for parents to set limits, children will be more open to accepting suggestions from their parents if they feel that the behavior is beneficial to them. Parental efforts to influence children's behavior should be consistent and positive.
Reason
Children are raised in many ways. In Norway, for example, children enter state-sponsored daycare at age one. Japan's society values adult supervision over children and expects them to be independent in early life.
Relaxed body language
Relaxed body language in child rearing can prove very useful when working with children. It can help you communicate clearly with your child about acceptable or unacceptable behavior. It can also help to evaluate the effects of your actions on other people. It will make your child more likely to accept your request and respond positively to your feelings.

How To
How to deal with children with ADHD
ADHD is a disorder that affects attention span, motor skills (impulsive control), and hyperactivity. The symptoms may include restlessness, impulsiveness, difficulty paying attention, trouble listening, being easily distracted, fidgeting, and squirming. ADHD children have difficulty sitting still and can move too much. They may act without thinking and get into trouble because they cannot stop themselves. ADHD does not make your child stupid or lazy. There are many ADHD people who are intelligent and successful.
ADHD children learn best when there is clear guidance and boundaries. If you notice any signs of ADHD in your child, talk to his doctor. Ritalin (methylphenidate), Adderall/amphetamine, Concerta or Atomoxetine may be prescribed. Some doctors prefer counseling for parents and teachers while others prefer to prescribe medication alone.
Special education may be a good option for children with ADHD. This school supports students with ADHD/learning disabilities. It provides individual instruction and therapy that will improve academic performance. Behavior management training should be provided to your child. This includes positive reinforcement techniques, such as rewards or consequences.
To work with ADHD children, you don't need any special training. You only need patience. It is important to teach your child patience, to be attentive, to follow the instructions and to sit still at school. Try to understand why your child behaves in certain ways. If your child seems to be losing interest in learning, you can ask him what his thoughts are. Your child can learn by having fun with TV and games.
You can help your child cope with stress by teaching relaxation exercises and other stress-busting strategies. Encourage him to take breaks during stressful situations. Teach him coping skills so that he will be able to handle difficult feelings and emotions.
Be patient with your child when he starts school. Be patient with him as he adjusts to new routines and environments. You can't expect him overnight to adjust. Give him multiple chances to master new tasks.
