Could you use a few more parenting ideas to help you successfully teach your children and teens and guide them through life’s challenges?

There are solutions to the many difficult issues that parents have to deal with in today’s world. These are very important steps in helping to teach your children.
     1. Focus on the positive.
     2. Do the very best you can.
     3. Work at creating a good line of communication between you and the children and teens around you.

But exactly how are these tasks successfully accomplished? Even the very best parents need helpful ideas and support from friends or relatives or co-workers sometimes.

Parenting has been the focus of my life since my first child was born, and as an oldest child I spent a lot of time as a youth watching over my brother and sister. I come from a long line of teachers and caregivers. When I was searching for an idea for my ebook, I remembered a request from one of my daughters. She asked me to write down the parenting methods that I used when they were young so that she would have the book to use when she has her own children. I also wanted to pass along some of this information to my other daughter so she can use the ideas with her children, my grandchildren.

Not only am I a parent, but I am a grandparent as well. My children (now adults) and I have been through some tough times together. We have witnessed quite a lot, and worked our way through it each time. My daughters have completely different personalities, and energies, and experienced different problems while growing up. Because they were so different I learned to use completely different techniques for each of them. What worked for one child did not work for the other. I learned to adapt because of their differences.

My friends early on were from a wide range of backgrounds.
     I had friends that came from a financially prosperous family.
     I had friends that came from families that were not rich at all.
     I had friends that lived on farms.
     I had friends that were children of migrant workers.
     I had friends that were Caucasian.
     I had friends that were Mexican.
One year I had a party and invited all of them to the party, and most of them came.

Well, you can imagine what happened. I learned all about the way some people allowed their kids to behave – to look down on anyone that wasn’t the same as they were because being different to them meant being inferior.

I was really disappointed at the way some of my friends were behaving. At Mom’s urging, Dad came to my rescue and took us all to the park where we played softball. Dad was the pitcher. Everyone played ball together and finally started talking to each other a little bit. The evening seemed to go okay after that.

Years later some of those same girls told me they still remembered that day at my house and how much fun they had.

Parenting children today is a very difficult task. Adults and children are bombarded daily with negative examples of living. Teens are acting out more violently in much larger numbers than in the past. Parents worry about how they can help guide their children through the maze of obstacles that continually pop up in front of them. Teens want more independence at an earlier age and are often more vocal and disrespectful towards others. Some parents want to find a way to force their children to be who they want them to be. Other parents just want to get their children through all this in one piece.

My experience as a parent and a grandparent has taught me that what works best for families today is a mixture of old-fashioned parenting methods and modern parenting methods. This combination of parenting styles and techniques is what this book is all about. It mixes a bit of old-fashioned parenting from years ago with some of today’s modern parenting methods and contains a few short stories from the past, both from my past as a child and more recently from my children’s past.
