Tip of the Week March 23 – 29, 2020

Did you know that the true meaning of the word ‘discipline’ is to teach? Allow your child to learn through their choices and ‘guide rather than tell’ them towards making better decisions.

Tip of the Week March 16 – 22, 2020

Being an involved father by talking, playing, and making your children a part of your world, teaches communication skills, how to get along with others, and your cultural or religious values. You can also help your children do better in school.

Tip of the Week March 9 – 15, 2020

Some signs that your child is being bullied at school or on the internet include withdrawing from family and friends; developing social anxiety or changes in sleeping habits. Start a conversation with your child, be patient in drawing them out and seek assistance from the child’s teacher or school.

Tip of the Week March 2 – 8, 2020

Feeling angry with your child? Don’t talk yourself into being angrier. Find a way to cool down by counting to ten, taking deep breaths or a quick walk if possible BEFORE you try to address your child.

Tip of the Week February 24-March 1, 2020

New to Canada? Avoid doing things for your child that they can do for themselves. This helps the children develop healthy independence and self-reliance – traits that can help them do well in their new school and in their new country.

Tip of the Week February 17 -23, 2020

In a blended family situation? Do not expect your (or your partner’s) children to immediately love or even respect your new partner (or you). Be patient and respectful because as you role model respect, you also teach others how to be respectful.

Tip of the Week February 10 -16, 2020

Family Meetings are an excellent way for children to learn many skills. When children feel that their contributions to the family are valued and taken seriously, it is a good step towards developing healthy self-esteem.
