Ideas for Making Parenting Easier

When it comes to things like rewarding your kids, don’t make the mistake of not satisfying yourself. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs any person will undertake, why not make it as easy as possible? We at South Florida Bounce have some tips to help you do just that with these daily habits steering you in the right direction.

Tip 1.) No Yelling. When we make the mistake of yelling at our kids, we think our message will come across more efficiently. However, by speaking methodically and quietly, you become more powerful because your child will hear your communication rather than just the sound of screaming.

Tip 2.) Be Grateful for What You Have. Since kids are extremely impressionable, it only makes sense to make a good example. Teaching kids that you’re grateful for what you do have or the little things are invaluable and a must. Don’t forget to include them in your blessings by telling them each day how much you adore them.

Tip 3.) Don’t wait until the end of the week to do the laundry. Wash a load a day. It doesn’t cost you any more than when you do it all on the weekend. Save yourself time and money by doing one per day and see how much extra time you just added to your calendar.

Tip 4.) Tackle a massive task a day. Whether that means filing your taxes or cleaning the kid’s game room, many necessary evils are lurking. By taking each day and using your time efficiently, you will be more organized and will accomplish more than you can imagine. For instance, purging toys is always a daunting task. But, by not overlooking that task and tackling it before it gets out of control, you’ll be having an easier time. By the way, it always sucks picking up toys before company shows up, is never fun nor easy. Imagine how cool it would be not to have to worry because the deed was already done? Awesome!

Tip 5.) Plan a weekly menu and stick to it! As we all know, kids can be picky eaters. But, there’s plenty of benefits to having a list even when your son or daughter wants to have a party. Besides, there’s a lot of time management when you hear the words “I don’t like that” or “Ewww gross, I’m not eating that.” Sit down with your kids and show them recipes and pictures to get a good menu down.

By doing following these excellent tips, you’ll save time, money and will make your job as a parent much more comfortable.
