Raising Good Kids

Are you raising "good kids?" If you're like most parents, this is one of your biggest concerns. Find out whether your children's behavior is "normal" or unacceptable, and learn how to respond appropriately.

Building a healthy relationship with your child begins with choices you make each day.

• When you take the time to listen to your child, instead of brushing her off, you are building connections.
• When you respond in a manner that validates her feelings instead of invalidating them, you are teaching her to be caring.
• When you help your child to choose appropriate actions, you are helping her to be more competent.

Coaching Tips:

• Connect instead of disconnect
• Assist instead of taking over
• Listen rather than lecture
• Help instead of abandon
• Explain instead of force
• Smile more, frown less
• Think about your relationship in the long run

Positive Reinforcement:

"If a child lives with approval, he learns to live with himself"

Encouraging stuff for Kids:

God Made You Special DVD

Since the very first VeggieTales episode, Bob and Larry have told kids “God made you special, and He loves you very much”!

Those words come to life on the newest VeggieTales DVD, featuring four stories (A Snoodles’ Tale, Dave and the Giant Pickle, Flibbera-Loo and The Gourds Must Be Crazy), plus a visit to Bob’s house and a brand new silly song.
