Be consistent

by Marlena

(November 2006) (rank 12th)

Have the same rules for your child threw out the day and everyday. If you allow your child eat and drink in the living room during the day but when daddy gets home he wont be allowed. You are sending them mixed signals and it makes it difficult for children

to know what is wrong or right. Sit down with your spouse and discuss the rules you want to set for your child and follow them out the day and everyday.

Good advice marlena!

Good Advice Marlena, I do agree. Once Cadence is old enough, I will be doing the sitting down talk with hubby so that we can agree on things so that she don't get mixed signals :)
