Your child is crying at school drop-off, and every part of you wants to make it stop. But what if crying isn't the problem? School transitions give children an important opportunity to practice emotional tolerance, trust other adults, and discover that hard feelings can come and go.
Parents are everywhere, but a lot of them are on social media speaking about their strengths, concerns, insights, and funny anecdotes. As a child development and parenting expert I always enjoy reading the tweets and blogs these parents share. So this year I had the opportunity to meet a large group of them at Hispanicize 2016 (#Hispz16). Hispanicize is the largest annual event for influencers, journalists, and digital content creators to connect with brands and their public. It was an amazing event full of information and wonderful giveaways. I enjoyed watching the sense of community among the attendants. I was excited to attend and meet in person so many of the wonderful parent bloggers who so candidly share about their lives. I was especially excited to meet up with Diana Limongi also known as LadyDeeLG.
As parents we sometimes find ourselves in a never-ending cycle of conflict, screaming, rewarding and back to square one. If you continue to bribe and reward your children you may risk them not understanding empathy, responsibility and kindness. Watch this video to understand what and why is happening?
