As a new parent, I want to try to my best to bring up my daughter to be the best that she can possibly be when she grows up. It is a huge task for a parent to take on. Raising a child is one of the most difficult things I have done, and it’s only just begun. There are so many different books and Internet sites and advice from parents and unsolicited advice from strangers it is hard to know what to do in certain situations. It is also hard to remember all the things you read and put them into practice when you’ve got a child to raise that is running around and you have to act on your toes. Empower My Child has a unique concept that uses visual cues to help parents remember key aspects to parenting.
Empower My Child has a two parts to it’s system. The first part is a small book with parenting tips and skills and situational examples. The book is small enough to fit in your purse or diaper bag so it can always be with you if you ever need to know what to do in a certain situation. I like the book a lot. The first day that I received it, I read it to my husband and mother. The chapters and each subcategory are very easy to read and have great examples which come along with each parenting skill. The book includes real situations with real examples. I can just easily pick up the book at any time and read one of the topics, each topic is about a page long so there’s no need to set aside a lot of time. It is simple to pick up the book and start where you last left off without missing anything. I can also skip to categories which are appropriate for each situation I may be in.
The second aspect to Empower My Child is that the book comes with matching T-shirts with each lesson title silk screened on it. I received the ‘Give Me Hope’ t-shirt in raspberry. I have to say the visual cues really do work. Whenever DD is wearing her Give Me Hope shirt, it almost brings me to tears. I remember that she is just a small person, and it is up to me to bring her up and be the one to send her on her way. I am reminded all day that I am the one that needs to bring her hope. I also think that it is a cue for strangers and others around. She is just a baby and the shirt is a cue that it is up to adults to bring her a safe environment where she can grow up to be confident in herself, this starts with us giving her hope.
The book and t-shirts by Empower My Child are an excellent and easy way for parents and everyone else to remember some important parenting lessons. The visual reminder really does work. You can buy the Empower My Child book and then purchase the t-shirts separately. I would suggest getting the shirts that you need the most help in remembering. Remember, we are the ones that are responsible for making a comfortable and loving environment for children to grow up and explore in. With the Empower My Child shirts we are reminded that it is up to us to create those environments for them.

Wow so many good ones. I think the best for me would be “responsible adult in training” from Encouraging Independence.

I’m a parent-to-be, but the best parenting I’ve seen expressed is to always let the child know that they are loved.

My best parenting tip is have PATIENCE.
Say it with a word.
I subscribe.
I don’t know that this is a tip, but my goal was always to encourage my kids to find God’s will for their lives and to accomplish it. No matter the cost.
I would really benefit from the substitutes for punishment chapter. We’re struggling with disciplining a strong-willed, independent 3 yr. old and much of what we’ve been doing has not been effective and results in all of us crying.

My biggest tip is to choose your battles. It’s not worth fighting over the pajama top under the school clothes or the shoes on the wrong feet. We’ve gone out in the cold sans winter coat because he’s refused to put it on. I wasn’t up for the fight and as soon as we got to the car, he wanted his coat on because he was cold.
love and support unconditionally.
definitely responsible adult in training

not a parent yet but from babysitting I’ve learned that patience is key!
I think winning a child’s cooperation would be most helpful. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
Guilty!!!
Rethink your approach.
This lesson helps to reinforce that parents need to provide their children with age appropriate resonsibility and the importance of following through.

My best parenting tip comes from a place near and dear to my heart…word origins. It’s something Empower My Child sort of touches on very briefly on one of their shirts. I think one of the most important things a parent can remember is that the root word of discipline is disciple, as in student or one in training.

“Show compassion for my struggle” is a good motto for us right now. We are in the independence phase and, all too often, I catch myself taking over and doing the tasks that my 2 year old has been valiantly attempting to do herself!
Very Awesome site! My favorite lesson would be listening & understanding
I subscribe to my moms view

Hmmmm – my best parenting tip? I suppose that would be just to have patience. I have two daughters, which are complete opposites, so patience is something I have to keep with me always. The way I handle one is not the same way I handle the other….which would make life easier if I could just say the exact same thing to them! But, they are 4 1/2 and 1 1/2, which makes a huge difference in itself.
The lesson for me would be: Substitutes for Punishment. I’d love to have options.

Best tips? ALWAYS follow through. Teach manners by example from birth. There was a woman in the store who was shocked to hear my daughter say “thank you” at 11 months. I say it every time I give her something.

Responsible Adult in training teaches children endless opportunities as well as helping you understand yourself better with life’s constant values for the young and old and how you get there by making yourself and little one a better person for those around you. You are the adult, but yet always learning. They are the child, yet teaching.
I like Help me to help Myself.
Substitutes for Punishment would be the lesson most helpful to me.
