Positive Parenting – front side

Yelling or Hitting?

What to do instead

The front side of this flier addresses what to do instead of yelling and hitting. Words can hurt just as much as a physical blow.
The pad addresses why a child won’t behave and what they can do like:

• praise good behavior
• make sure the rules are understood
• limit ”No’s“
• listen to your child
• and more

The tear pad gives tips for the parents to stop them before they yell or hit, like:

• count to 10 or 20
• stop and breathe deeply
• phone a friend
• talk a walk
• and more

Positive Parenting – back side

Think Before You Spank

It’s hard to raise a kid!

The back side of this flier addresses ways to avoid spanking.
Spanking doesn’t work:

• it does not teach good behavior
• it does not stop bad behavior
• it teaches that violence is okay
• and more

The pad lists why kids get in trouble and breaks it down in to age groups 1-3, 3, 4 and 5 year olds:

• 1 – 3 year olds want to doe at all by themselves
• 3 year olds want to know “why”
• 4 year olds like to be the boss
• 5 year olds find it hard to remember what to do every time
• and more

Some of the things parents can do are:

• Say “Let’s to this instead”
• Spend lots of time with your child
• Kids need to be told over and over what is right
• Keep it simple
• and more
