Don't be afraid to name that feeling!

Child: My best friend is going to a different school next year

Instead of: oh, you'll make new friends
Try: ah, that must be quite upsetting!

If you can't give it to your child in reality, give it in #fantasy.

Instead of: we can't play soccer, it's pouring.
Try: I wish everything in our house was made of rubber, then we can play soccer inside!

Get involved in your kids' lives, and more importantly, involve them in yours!

Bring them to your work, introduce them to your friends.

Don't let them wonder what you do when they're not around!

Encourage Creative Thinking:

When your kid asks a question, don't be so quick to answer.

Child: Dad, why is the sky blue?
Dad: Great question, why do you think?

@msparentguru @nprfreshair Here is the rest of that:
...And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man

[Modern Parent @_ModernParent_]

Challenge: Try to re-frame your responses. Say YES to your children more than you say NO today!

Child: Dad, can I have a candy?

instead of: No because you haven't had dinner
Try: Yes, right after dinner!

Part one: I'm sorry
Part two: How can I fix it?
