  One of the most exciting things you will probably ever do is to raise children of your own. What follows is some tried and true advice to guide you through the maze of parenting.
  
  Routines have been shown to give a sense of comfort and familiarity to children. The important routines to focus on are meals, homework, bedtime and personal hygiene. Routines help children behave better, so long as the routines are applied consistently without too many exceptions.
  
  Establish a sign that shows your child they are behaving in an inappropriate manner. Be sure that your child knows the sign, and can recognize it when he sees it. Doing so gives your child an opportunity to change their behavior before you must punish them.
  
  When you are a parent, it's really important to take care of yourself. Even if you're having a stressful and hectic day go ahead and take some time to relax, you want to re-energize yourself. Your children will feel happier if you are feeling your best as you care for them.
  
  In case you are a soon-to-be a stepparent, be aware that it can seem ages before you and your stepchild can hit it off. Lots of children resent that their parents separated. If you pace yourself and do not try to force the relationship, you will eventually form a closer bond.
  
  Having another child will force you to spend time with one child more than the other. Usually, the squeaky wheel will get the grease. It is important to be aware that this will happen, so you can avoid the guilt of choosing one child over the other when the situation requires it.
  
  A chart is a great instrument to use when you are teaching a child something and want to show him or her the progress that he or she has made. For instance, you could make a chart that has 20 squares, and each time he completes the new task, you can place a sticker on another square. The child will get a reward when the chart has been completed. Charts are useful because they give your child a visual record of accomplishments and provide motivation to keep up the good work to get a reward.
  
  It might be hard to get a preschooler to deal with change. If they are pulled away from something too soon, it can trigger a melt down.
  
  Your children need to know that life does present challenges, so do not keep everything from them. Your interactions with your significant other as you work to solve problems will contribute to your child's understanding of the correct ways to work through issues. An open discussion will expose your child to the realities of the world.
  
  Children often hate taking medicine, so try mixing it with something tasty. Orange juice works great, or you can simply stir some sugar into the medicine. Eye drops can be applied on the eye lid of the closed eye of your child. When they open their eye the medicine will drop in, and you will not have fighting or struggling.
  
  Get your child involved in preparing meals. They will learn how to cook for themselves, and as they grow older they will appreciate this skill even more. Both boys and girls need to know the basics of cooking a nutritious meal for themselves and their family. It also provides another easy and affordable chance to be with your child in a nurturing environment.
  
  Until children are born with detailed instruction manuals, parents will always find a need for helpful advice. Situations can arise every so often that cause you to feel lost. This article contains some suggestions to help you through those troublesome days. Use this information as much as you need to!
