When it comes to parenting, setting a good example for your children can be one of the trickiest parts. Although every good parent wants their kids to look up to them and be able to positively emulate their behavior, in reality, setting a good example can be much more complicated than it first seems. It requires constant attention to your actions and reactions around your child, and a good sense not only of your child’s perception of you, but of your perception of yourself. According to UsNews.com, Madeline Levine, renowned psychologist and author, spoke to this concept recently, saying that true integrity is shown, “by a thousand small examples.” Robyn Silverman, child and teen development specialist, agrees, “They hear your process,” she advises, noting that it’s important to articulate your good decisions and why you’re making them so the child can learn to appreciate your moral compass and follow your example.
Whether you’re a celebrity parent or not, it’s vital to set a good example for your children to insure that they grow up to be healthy, well-adjusted adults. Check out this parenting advice to demonstrate to your kids through your actions the way you want them to behave.
As time goes on, we as a society understand mental health better. With this new knowledge come concerns from mothers and fathers who are trying to navigate parenthood during this age of information. The new parents of today, millennials, struggle to find the balance raising children during these empathetic times. Thus, many have distanced themselves from disciplining their kids in order to avoid relationship problems. Tactics such as these are strange to generations prior, but recent scientific studies have shown the detrimental affects harsh discipline can have on a developing brain. According to BusinessInsider.com, “Certain parental behaviors that scientists have found could be linked to problems in children, like depression and anxiety, later in life.” So how can millennial parents discipline their children while maintaining their psyche?
Here are some parenting tips that will ensure your children have structured discipline:

Taking your child to practice, or the doctor, or to a play date, or to anything that gets you moving fast on the way out of the house. But, just because you’re on the go doesn’t mean that you have to settle for an old, stained t-shirt and over-washed jeans. Who said moms can’t rock a stylish look?
JustFab gives you the fabulous, fashionable style you want and need at an affordable price, even when you’re handling your kids at your busiest moments.
Nothing takes up more room in your kitchen than a baby’s high chair. When it’s time for your little one to sit down for a meal, the high chair may not seem like such an obstacle, but for a majority of the time, it’s empty and just taking up space.
The solution? Provide one seat that doubles in use for baby and adult!
