  It easier to enjoy your role as a parent if you are willing to do whatever it takes to learn about your children. Use this article to get some good common sense advice to help make the role of parenting easier and more enjoyable.
  
  Children need to learn not to talk to strangers at an early age. These days, it's so tough to know who's a criminal or predator, especially for a child. It is important to teach them to avoid strangers, and potentially dangerous situations.
  
  Involve your children while you are cooking meals, so they can learn essential skills to help them prepare their own meals as adults. Learning how to cook for themselves and others will also give them a sense of accomplishment, and boost their self-esteem. Cooking can also be a fun family activity.
  
  Keep the same nightly routine when getting your child ready for bed. Having a predictable routine gets their sleep patterns regulated and they won't fuss at bedtime because they know it is part of their daily routine. When he changes into his pajamas, brushes his teeth, and listens to a story, he knows that sleeping will be next. There will be less resistance at bedtime when your child follows a routine.
  
  If you need to give your child medicine, mix it with something sweet. Applesauce is a good choice, or you can stir a little juice into the medicine. Eye drops can be a challenge. Have the child close the eye and put the drops in the corner of the eye or on the eyelid. Have him then open his eyes, and the drops will slide in.
  
  Not every child is social or outgoing. Shyness in children is a common thing. If you see that your child is not exhibiting any social interaction, you may want to intervene. If your child appears overly withdrawn, you may wish to discuss his or her behavior with a pediatrician. This allows you to identify potential problems before they become more pronounced.
  
  Create a rules list that your kids should know. Make sure that they know what will happen if they break the rules. When you require your children to follow your rules, they will know you love them and care how they grow and develop. Having a set of rules in place will also make the job of parenting easier for yourself, as well as your partner.
  
  To foster better eating habits, make your house a junk food free zone. Your kids will most likely not want unhealthy treats, like candies, cookies, and chips, if you don't have them in the house. Allow unhealthy foods to serve as treats rather than household staples. They can be eaten during holiday gatherings, such as Halloween or Christmas.
  
  Focus on the positive with your children, such as what they should be doing instead of what they shouldn't be doing. When you give a child the boundary of a "no," he or she will feel restricted and will want to rebel against the rules. Give your child a feeling of control by putting the focus on the things they can to do, rather than what they cannot.
  
  The information outlined above should be helpful in your quest to be a better parent. Apply the above techniques to your parenting techniques to develop an envied relationship with your kid. You can be sure to cherish every moment you have with your child with the right advice.
