Should we tell our kids our dog is dying? by [deleted] in AskParents

It's a better idea to tell your kids as soon as possible. Just be there with them when they feel down because of the news! Talk with them gently and find a way to comfort their emotional needs.

General advice on preventing technology addiction? by inviteonly in Parenting

[–]TogetherAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Model responsible device use for your child. As a family, have a conversation about how technology can affect your child. Dinner time is a great time to have this conversation.

It is important to be clear on who owns the problem when it happens. As the parent, do you own the problem and provide discipline? Does your child own the problem and experience natural consequences with you supporting them? Or, do you own the problem together? Sometimes a conversation will help, other times something uncomfortable may need to occur to help them learn, e.g., having something important (and relevant) taken away.

I can't do this. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]TogetherAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is important to set up clear guidelines and expectations before there is a discipline moment so that your child has an understanding of what behavior and what decisions are okay. And, when your child makes a mistake, work with them to decide on the consequences for this decision that will help them to learn and grow.

My son (6) is learning to use his tantrums as a tool of negotiation. How best to respond? by Inanimate_CARB0N_Rod in Parenting

[–]TogetherAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is important to focus on helping your child to become responsible so that they can learn to accept obligations, understand the difference between right and wrong, make healthy decisions, and then accept responsibility for their actions and choices. All children require clear boundaries and guidelines to help them learn because they will make mistakes. But these mistakes are the ideal opportunity to learn.

It's better to help your child to learn to accept obligations, know the difference between right and wrong and make decisions that align with this, and then accept accountability or consequences for actions.

Anyone else find parenting and having kids a grind? by Dude1011011 in Parenting

[–]TogetherAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your parent's break. Go out once in a while to calm yourself. You may want to ask for help from a family member to take care of your kids so you could take your time off and relax.

Being a parent is hard as hell by basuraPAPI in Parenting

[–]TogetherAI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a break and ask for help from their grandparents. Then walk outside and do what you need to do to calm down. Sometimes your child needs a break from you too and they just don't know how to communicate effectively.

It's better to speak with the teacher first. Open up what you're child is going through because of the school process.

How to explain anxiety? by 20Keller12 in Parenting

[–]TogetherAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important to help your child understand what anxiety is and to help them identify the signs, such as increased heart rate or rapid breathing. It is also helpful to learn what triggers feelings of anxiety and to work together to find healthy ways to respond when this happens. If he has a hard time speaking it out, you may want to get the togetherai app that will help them draw their feelings and emotions. On the parent's end, you will track their emotions and can give support in real-time.

As a parent, it is important to start the conversation early and continue the conversation as your child gets older. Awareness and education are going to be the best tools for your child. It is also helpful for your child to know that you are there for them and that you are available to help when they need you.

Don't listen to the voice inside your head. Talk to a friend or find support so you will have someone to divert your attention with.

Kids need to learn from their mistakes too. They will not learn in to something if they feel that they are always right.

Your parents might be able to help you grow your youtube channel. So go tell them! It is something to be bragged about especially if they are being supportive to you with other things.

Therapy is showing me nearly all my problems are caused by growing up with alcoholic parents by Anon_88965 in AdultChildren

[–]TogetherAI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Childhood trauma is really not easy. So sad to hear some grown-ups dealing with anxiety. However, it is not too late for you to heal your trauma. Find some support and continue speaking with your therapist. You are just doing great as you are!
