~Parenting tips from real kids ~ saying were ok usually means leave us alone we don't want to talk to anyone, especially you Listen to what your kids have to say. Even if they're young, they probably know themselves pretty well, and therefore know their own emotions and needs. don't baby your kids, let them have their privacy and don't shy away from teaching them about topics that they'll come across as an adult let us decide who we want to be when a child is punished for their honesty, they begin to lie When your kids want privacy, give them some. Just because their door is closed or they don't want to show you their device doesn't mean they're doing anything wrong. Never take over your tween/teen’s doctor appointments. They know their pain more than you do. You could end up saying something inaccurate and then it becomes a huge deal. if your child has sensory issues, buy them some noise canceling headphones/let them wear their noise canceling headphones listen to your kids. just because their young, doesn't mean they don't know anything, especially if it's about themselves if your child says they’re lgbtqia+, respect their current identity. It may just be a phase but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ignore how they want to be seen Not every emotion and phase we go through is based on our hormones just because we are changing physically doesn't mean we don't have real problems let children learn at their own speed. For instance, forcing them to read when they’re not ready won’t help. if u think somethings happening with our friends, seriously DON'T try to do ANYTHING Not everyone's problems are the same, you may have experienced similar things but your solution might not work for us, instead just listen and ask how you can help Kids learn from example so BE A GOOD ONE
