Here's some future parenting
tips:
1. Never and I mean ever tell your child they
are fat. It's great to want to help them lose weight, eat
healthy, and exercise, but do not make jokes about their
weight, or make them feel self-conscious.
2. If you
and your husband/wife fight a lot, and it's just not
working out, stop trying to make it work. Yes, divorce is hard
on kids, but you're ruining their childhood and possibly
their lives because they have to listen to you fight
constantly.
3.
Don't talk at your child, talk to them. They're not
stupid, so stop talking to them like they are. They can
understand what's going on, you just have to tell them.
4. Trust
them. Trust them until they give you a reason not to. By that,
I mean a real reason, not some stupid reason like they said
they were doing their homework but they were really on the
computer.
5. Be
someone they can count on. You know how hard it is to be a
teenager, and feel like you're alone. Show them that they
can talk to you, that you're going to be there for
them.
6. No
matter what, you love those kids. They are a precious gift that
you were blessed with, love them. Protect them,
cherish them, and love
them.
