5 Positive Parenting Skills
Put a Smile on Your Face
Facial expressions are important, and convincing your child that you're not angry when there's clearly a scowl on your face is going to be a tough sell. Chances are, if you're annoyed, frustrated, or exasperated, it'll be written all over your face if you don't make an effort to control your expressions. When you feel your sunny disposition faltering, teach yourself to keep a smile on your face. Sometimes it may feel more like a grimace, but to your child it will be a reassuring reminder that everything is okay.
