Are there three easy reminders parents can take to help them win at parenting?
Keep these in mind, and you will be surprised at the wins in your life!
1. Stay On The Same Page With Your Spouse
When you and your spouse are on the same page, it gives the kids a psychological peace. This is always a win!
If you are arguing about something small, remember that often it is just a battle of the wills, not the real issue. Just flip a coin and move on!
Never let the kids play you against one another.
2. Treat Your Kids Differently

The Birth Order Book will shed some light on this issue.
3. Listen, Listen, Listen!
“Tell me more about that.”
“Hmm, Interesting!”
“You seem bothered by that.”
Kids will talk when they want to talk. By using these pocket phrases, you will open up more opportunities for them to talk.
