Kat's rules of parenting:





1. Attend to their needs, not their wants.





2. Remember that how you treat them is going to affect how they treat others.





3. Discipline is about teaching, not about punishment.





4. No toy can substitute for your time and attention.





5. Hugs and kisses every night, even though they will claim they are too big for them!





6. Honesty is the best policy.





7. Admitting you are wrong doesn't reduce your status in their lives.





8. Children are not property. They are human beings.





9. Parenting is always a process of teaching them to fly and then standing back and watching the results.





10. Putting yourself first occasionally teaches children to respect other people's needs.What are the Rules and Reminders of Parenting?
Those are awesome, and don't forget to teach please and thank you, just like hello/bye. They will become second nature and will never be seen as rude. Even two year olds learn to use them right if you keep it up!

Report Abuse

Use empathy and common sense. Keep it simple, teach them good, bad, right, and wrong. Don't use money and things as a substitute for your time and attention, or to assuage guilt.


If you buy your children everything, they will expect more and more, and never be happy with what they have, always wanting more.


Your kids will remember family vacations more than they will remember getting the latest cellphone, video game etc.
I THIN THAT IT MEANS THAT U HAVE 2 HAVE A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY , PATIENCE ,TRUSTWORTHY TO THEIR KIDS(HAVE TRUST IN THEIR KIDS ) AND ALOT MORE BUT RESPONSIBILITY IS THE BIGGY RULE.............................
1st thing 1st. No two children are the same. You guys will start with a blank canvas and make it what you want. As for me. I choose not to buy designer clothes for my children when they were younger. To much money and not enough ware. As for ';spoiling your child'; Its okay to buy your child things, I think the real issue comes when you not laying down the law up front and your not spanking your child when need be. I have a 10yr old and a 7yr old have I have learned that they are totally different. Wish you all the best, God Speed!
Love, love, love!There's Never too much. Patience, listen to them before speaking. Try to understand and remember what it was like for you when you were their age. And don't be afraid to be too concerned wih their whereabouts. Good luck! Just love them, the rest will follow, there's no right or wrong answer.
well the main thing is that parents just need to love their children. Discipline with love but with firmness, guide them with love and hope they make the right choices in their life. Loving your child is not spoiling, but giving into their every whim is.
the main thing to always remember is PATIENCE.....it is key to everything....other than that...of course you make sure they are buckled up and you always want them to eat their food, but honestly the clothing thing is up to the parent...if you can justify spending $100. on an outfit for a 6 month old then go for it...i however can not...so i dont...if my son has any designer labels its b/c its off the sale rack and i liked it....there isnt a set rule to help you not spoil your child....every child deserves to be a bit spoiled, just not to the point of being a brat...but as the parent you have to figure out when not to cross that line! Parenting is something a person must learn on their own...you can get all the advise in the world, but that may not help you out when it comes to your own child....it depends on the parent, child, and surroundings!
