Finding Parenting Tips That Coincide With Your Values
Parenting tips can come from a variety of places however it is important to make sure that those giving the tips hold your same values. Looking around you'll see that more and more children seem to be out of control. You have record numbers of acts of violence in schools and some of the most disrespectful generation of children ever seen. Many parents are at their wits end and trying to find good parenting advice and there are many places to find this advice you just need to make sure that the advice you are getting actually works within your family.
The Best Place to Start
One of the best places to get some good sound tips about parenting is from your own parents. Seriously, they raised you didn't they, and you turned out fine didn't you? You may be surprised at what a wealth of knowledge you can gain for asking your parent/s for their input on the situation. They will not only have a different perspective but they have also had the experience of raising a child from birth to adulthood. The most important thing about getting advice from your parent/s is to be completely honest about the situation you are having trouble with. Remember they love you and their grandchild so there is no reason to sugar-coat the situation.
The other positive to going to your parents is you already know how they believe. You know the traits that they find to be important for raising a successful adult. For example, you know how they feel about spanking a child. So if they are pro-spanking then you will understand where there advice is coming from. This is important as many times the tips you may receive from others will not coincide with how you believe.
Things to Look For When Accepting Tips on Parenting
You can find a countless amounts of articles, magazines and books all geared toward giving parents advice. You really need to watch the agenda of what the person giving the advice is. For example if the article you are reading is written by a person that advocates children being able to divorce their parents you may want to take that advice with a grain of salt. This person will not have your child's best interest at heart, they are just attempting to push and further their personal agenda.
Something else you should keep in mind when looking for parenting tips is your child is unique so the advice you are receiving will be general advice, not advice directed towards your child. An example of this is if your child is very shy and you just read an article about how children should be encouraged to socialize. You may need to customize the steps that they advised you to do so that your child is not overwhelmed at the idea of meeting new people.
All parents need a little help every once in a while and finding a good source for advice is important. Make sure that the advice you receive is advice that actually works with you and your family's value system. Remember, the parenting tips you receive may need to be customized to fit your child's personality.

Top 7 Parenting Tips for Good Parenting - Bring Out the Best in You and Your Kids!
Even though we need a license to do many things in life -- everything from driving and operating a forklift to practicing medicine and fishing -- there is no license required to become a parent and this is often the trickiest of all of the above activities!
Parenting today is far more difficult than it was, even a generation ago. Many well-intentioned parents are using outdated and ineffective parenting styles. As a result, they experience daily frustration and stress in their home.
Below you will find my top 7 tips for good parenting. These tips inspire children to want to be well behaved, can reduce family fights and boost family joy.
Good Parenting Tip #1 - If you love your kids--put yourself first!
One of the best things we can do for our children is to give them a foundation for becoming a happy and healthy adult. Self-care should not be a luxury for parents--it needs to become a necessity. You need self-care both for being a good parent and a healthy and balanced human being. Far too many children are living with parents who are stressed out and frankly, not at all fun to be around. If you are repeatedly burning the midnight oil, you may be on the brink of parent burnout--not a pleasant thing for you or your family to experience.
Good Parenting Tip #2 - If married--put your marriage before your kids!
Most of us have heard of Generation X and Generation Y. But did you realize that Generation S--Generation Spoiled--is on the rise? Many children today are raised with an unhealthy sense of entitlement because their parents have made them the center of the universe. With divorce statistics still hovering around 50%, children are far too often coping with unhappy, failing marriages and divorce- much worse for them than missing out on a couple of toys or brand name jeans. Take a stand and put some time into your marriage (like go on a date night)--for your whole family's sake!
Good Parenting Tip #3 - Cherish your children
No matter what your situation--no matter how often your children drive you crazy--know there are thousands of people in this world who would gladly trade places with you. There are couples who would give anything to just have a child. Strive to remember how truly fortunate you are. Hug your children at least three times a day. Regularly tell them how grateful you are to have the opportunity to be their parent.
Good Parenting Tip #4 - Teach your kids to fish--don't fish for them!
Many parents do everything for their kids. This only robs their children of the opportunity to learn self-reliance--which is vital to building their self-esteem. One of the best things you can do is to help your kids learn how to do things for themselves. One of the chapters of my first book on effective parenting is called "How To Get Your Kids Doing Their Chores Smiling". Some parents think I am from another planet when I even suggest that kids can learn to do chores with a smile on their face. These same doubting parents are often happily surprised when they see it is possible--in their own home and in this century! Household chores teach basic life skills everyone needs to know. Also, chores give children the opportunity to contribute to the household in a positive and meaningful way.
Good Parenting Tip #5 - Focus on what you like, not on what you don't
If children aren't being appreciated and aren't getting attention for what they do well--and when they behave well--you better believe they will learn to get attention for not behaving well. The more you notice what you like about what they're doing, the less likely they are to morph into destructive little terrors and the more likely you will inspire your child to repeat the good behaviors and achievements you love.
Good Parenting Tip #6 - Give respect and expect it in return
Don't do anything to your child that you wouldn't want your child to do to you. The list of things you don't want to be doing includes: yelling, hitting, spitting, and put downs. There are far better ways for you to handle conflict, stress and common misbehaviors. Commit to learning these "Ultimate Parenting" tools that are based on mutual respect--not fear based punishment that only teaches our kids to not get caught next time!
Good Parenting Tip #7 - A family that plays together stays together!
Have fun--play with your kids. Laughing, tickling, and enjoying one another's company is the foundation of a happy home. Having fun can go a long way towards preventing much of the needless conflict and behaviors that drive you crazy. It also provides your family with much needed quality time.
These seven effective parenting tips above are child-proofed, effective and fun. By taking the time to learn how to bring out the best in you and in your children, you will reap the rewards that come from the peace of mind--knowing that you did all you could to support and nurture a happy and healthy family life.
