Nothing mentioned here is to offend anyone. If you think you’re raising your kids just fine, we support you!

Are you new parents? Have you suddenly come to the realization that the toys and environment you had while growing up aren’t the same ones you can provide to your offspring? The world we grew up in wasn’t as advanced and technology oriented to the world our children are going to be raised in. Our childhood differs than theirs. This makes you wonder, whether this change in era will be a positive or negative variable in the growth and development of your baby.

As frightening as this can be, we completely understand the fear of the unknown which is why here are 5 really easy old school parenting ways that will ensure a positive outcome. Here we go!

1.Listen to understand, not to reply

Most parents listen to what their child has to say, only to reply or form a response. This leads to selective listening and it is not ideal for parenting. Instead, try to actually take part in your child’s life. Ask him/her about their day, get to know their friends, ask about school or the activities they’ve done that particular day. Involve yourself as much as you can. Keep your communication open. Help them about with things if they ask for it. This is the time your child will get to know you and themselves. Please don’t miss out on the moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

2. Teach them the magic words

We all know what the magic words are, but the most important one of them all is Thank you. Thank you for not just when someone gives you something and you say thanks in return, but teach them how to be thankful, to feel gratitude for things they get, give and already own. Make them realize the worth and importance of everything they have. Parents often fail to teach this amongst other things and then they wonder how they raised a spoiled brat.

3. Don’t just teach, implement

You want your child to be well behaved? You as a parent need to behave yourself first. You want them to learn table manners? Well guess what? You’re going to have to show some table manners while eating first. Your child will listen to your words less and follow your actions more. Whatever you do, they will mirror. It is better to become efficient mannered role models than to just preach and not follow.

4. Values are important

No matter what century we’re in or what era it is, values, manners and traditions will always be in style and they will always be respected! Don’t forget to teach your child basic etiquettes. These little abstract things they will continue and carry with themselves for the rest of their days. It is something that can not be bought or sold, rather learned.

5. Talk, talk and talk

Don’t get absorbed into the sports channel while your child wants to ask of your opinion or show case a school DIY project. It is not only damaging for your relationship but it will lead the child to have a distant relationship with you. In some cases, children completely withdraw from their parents because of early life ignorance. Nothing good will come out of paying attention to other things. Your baby should be your first priority, never let them feel like number two when you know they should be number one.

Do these 5 things and you are guaranteed to raise a beautifully elegant child who knows their place and knows how to respect others around him. Plus, bonus point, children with parental issues often grow up and spend millions of dollars on therapy. If you raise your child right, look at all the money you’ll save because therapy won’t be an expense for you. Happy Parenting!
