In the next life, wait longer to have your kid.
Answer by David Nuttall
Parenting is a complex topic. It is not just one thing; it is a multitude of things.
Talk with your parents. I get the feeling that they have some experience in raising a girl.
Is the father of your child still in the picture? See what level of commitment you can get from him.
There are several programs available in various places to help provide support for teen moms. Contact the ones in your area.

The best advice I can give you is follow your instincts, and sleep when baby sleeps. Being a new mom is really scary even for adults, but if you put your babies needs befor your own and still make sur you take care of yourself you will do just fine. good luck honey.
Answer by FotoGrL
Have patience! And ask for help if you need it. it is amazing how many children are injured by their parents who are good people but have no patience. also don’t listen to people who judge you on the age you had a child. I had my first child at 24 and I think I have just as much difficulty raising a child as my cousin who had 2 children before she was 19. Be a good mom and that’s all that matters. Good Luck

There will be yelling, pushing, screaming, crayons on the wall, cheerios in the back sit of the car, you will lose your keys and find them inside the babies diapers ( don’t ask me how I know) the thing your grandma gave you will be broken, you will buy a pacifier and probably will have to buy another one 30 minutes later because you lost the other one, there will be fights, sleepless nights, naps and days without naps, vomiting, diarrhea, days in the doctors office, days in the hospital and viruses that the whole family will get. You will feel horribly guilty when your girl get her first stitches or when ever she gets hurt. If you are married you will fight and cry and then cry some more.
You will also get to take care of someone you can call yours. Someone who you will guide through life and see her grow to become a wonderful person. You will also get awesome “I love you mom” before going to bed, hugs when you don’t expect them, someone who will tell you “you look pretty mom” even though you are stressed out, haven’t dyed your hair in 3 months, don’t have makeup, haven’t shower and you are cooking.
Just have a lot of patience, you will have bad days but you will have more better days than bad ones. Best Wishes!

First of all, it’s great that you even thought to ask this question. I wish all mothers asked it!
To set up your child for success, you should do some homework. More so than most activities, parenting requires forethought. Be sure to read plenty of books on parenting, think about what they all say, but don’t take anything they say on faith.
The most important thing you can provide, besides love, is leadership – coaching, leadership, and guidance about what matters in life and what is worth a child spending his time and effort on.
An example: don’t just order him to do his school work because it’s required. At the start of each semester, look at a list of classes he’s taking. Sell him on the value of each course subject – how exactly will it be helpful. You might have to search on Google/whatever for something like “math motivation” to get ideas for how to sell the benefits of a subject.
Another part of that leadership is giving him skills that would be useful in life. For example, if he is very young, make sure he learns foreign languages by using a foreign-born nanny and/or by enrolling him in a language immersion elementary school.
When he’s old enough, have him try lots of different activities (hobbies, clubs and elective classes at school). That’s not just for the skills, but also so he can figure out what career he’ll probably be good at and excited about, and also so he’ll be a more interesting person.
Still another aspect of leadership is responding to problems that come up. A couple examples:
1) If your child is anxious or has social difficulties, don’t just ignore it or give up if you can’t figure out how to help. Hire a family counselor or child psychologist.
2) If your child does not understand a particular school subject fully, hire a tutor. Even if he/she currently has an A grade, this might be valuable if homework or tests show wrong answers that he/she cannot explain. This has a side benefit of teaching the child to seek outside academic help when needed, rather than accepting poor performance.

I have read your other question but could not reply. I’m very sorry to hear about your situation. I also had a rough child. Do not listen to what those other rude people said at all. Listen to your heart. Think about your baby don’t think about yourself think about her. Adoption maybe the hardest thing you’d ever have to do but if your poor and young like you said then wouldn’t you want you baby to have the best life she possibly could. It is always your choice. As for you 11 year old sister it is her choice for abortion or not but she shouldn’t have to take care of a baby that young. It is a lot of work and a lot of money. I have a 1 month old baby and it is truly hard I am 19 years old and on social assistance and I get 900 a month and my rent is 800 its very hard when you need so much to give a baby. I think you both should strongly consider adoption. It would be very hard but worth it to give your little harmless babies a better life. With a family who can afford it and greatly wants it. Being so young you’ll be glad in the long run. Good luck with your journey in life and I truly hope you do what your heart tells yoy
Answer by Gagazine.com
Follow your instincts. Many times what your instinct is telling you is true so when you think that your baby is down to something, watch out for signs and symptoms and never hesitate to call your doctor. You could also never go wrong with giving your child so much love. A child growing up in a loving environment can feel secured and he or she can better prepare for the world. Enjoy mommyhood!

Answer by Coltens Mama
Keep a toy in the car so when baby gets bored in traffic or wherever, you have something to occupy him
Answer by Melyssa
always have bandages ( and carpet cleaner) at your house. The carpet cleaner is more for juice stains etc but you know.. its good to have both.
Never ever decide to go with a ‘parenting style’ before you actually meet your kid. You have no idea how they will react to it and you dont wanna be all rigid about how to raise your kids if that particular approach isnt working well with that particular child
and dont sweat the small stuff. If they want to wear their halloween costume to the store in august ( or any other month) as long as its somewhat weather appropriate ( and they are under 5) who really cares? lol
Answer by Linda S
Be honest and up front about things happening in the family. (Both good and bad). Kids know what is happening even if you don’t tell them directly. However, you have to tell them in a way that is appropriate for their age level. For example, you loose your job and your home. You tell your 6 year old, “We get to move to another house!!” You tell your 15 year old what happened but with reassurances that you’ll be fine as a family and that they may to cut back on some expenses.
Answer by Carrie
It is by allowing my child to be dependent when she needs it that she will gain the confidence she needs to be come independent when she’s ready.
A need that goes unmet only becomes stronger.
The opposite of consistency is chaos and anxiety. The synonym is trust.

Invest in a red or brown washcloth — it’s better for when they skin their knee open and you have to clean our the cut, because if you use a white wash cloth the blood will be highly visible and may freak them out.
Be a parent first. You can have a friendly relationship, but remember that you are in charge, not them. You aren’t out to score brownie points. Your JOB is to prepare them for real life where they don’t always get their way, life isn’t always fair and they need to carry their own weight.
Be firm in your expectations and mean what you say. Never lie to you kids, but there are some things that they don’t need to know. You can side step the question or just tell them point blank that they don’t need to know.
When it comes to punishment, never threaten something you are not willing to do (i.e. I’ll ground you for a year). Let them know that you are in charge and that your house is not a democracy. Although you can get their input, the final decision is yours.
When kids ask questions, answer the question, but only the question. If they want to know more they’ll ask. A simple question does not need to turn in to a 30 minute lecture.
Don’t freak out. For the most part, kids are not as fragile some people think. One day of bad parenting will not scar a child forever. You can let them have popcorn for supper, or run in the rain, or kiss the dog.
Love them, cherish your time together and take lots and lots of pictures. They’ll be grown before you know it.
Kids should not eat cat poop. However, they don’t seem to know this and will try it if you let them.
you can never tell your children you love them enough. ok but only when your scolding them thats not the right time.
Patience. Communication. That’s about all I can give you without knowing what age group your speaking of?
Teens tend to be nicer (and more respecting) to you if you can compromise with them…especially if they enjoy being out and about. It will only upset them if your word if the final say _all the time_ when they haven’t had a chance to have a say in what happens.
And dont use how someone else acts to judge how your teen will act. Its annoying and almost all of us hate it when it happens. Use what you know about you teen, and the area you live in. Not what you know about someone elses and the area they live in.
um? not quite sure what u are looking for here…but here it goes,
In our house punishment is usually just time outs (we have a 2 1/2 yr old and a baby) For time outs i generally go with 1 min per yr of age. so if it is a little ting often she just gets 1 min, but for really big things like hitting we may give her 3 min! I know right, 3 min! crazy lol. Anyways we started with very mild “punishment” once she started crawling, just if she crawled over and hit another baby or took a toy we would firmly say NO and prevent her from doing it or hold take the toy away and hold her hands for maybe 30 sec. It takes a lot of repeating for them to understand that hitting and taking toys is a no no. but they do seem to figure it out eventually. Kids always test the boundaries of what they are allowed to do. SO just remember that you have to follow through EVERY time and be consistent so the kids know what is expected and don’t feel confused about the rules. My daughter knows more or less what is ok for her to do and what she will get in trouble for doing. many times she will do something that she knows she shouldn’t and all i need to do is say her name and she says sorry mommy and goes and sits on her time out chair. So i know she was just kind of seeing if she could get away with it. One thing that we always try to do after the time out is we give her a hug and get down beside her, we remind her why she had the time out and tell her that time out is a chance for her to think about what to do differently next time that won’t hurt a friend or that is a better choice. eg instead of getting angry and hitting someone when they take a crayon, she could tell them that she was still using that one and they can have the next turn or offer the other kid a different one.
It seems to have worked really well for us. So all i can really say is children react best if they know what to expect and know what is expected of them, By following through with what we say we will do it makes a easy to understand enviroment for them.
2 things come to mind.
1) Keep lines of communication open! If your child begins to push away from you and not tell you things it can be really hard to reverse this attitude change! When your child tells you something don’t be judgmental. Always be supportive and a good listener to your children. These are essential tips to keep in mind when raising a child.
2) Teach your children respect. Respect goes a long way and your children will really benefit if they treat everyone (elders, friends, themselves) with respect. Here are a few tips on how to do this effectively: http://myvoice.mygofer.com/mission_possible/Three-Ways-to-Teach-Your-Kids-Consistency-and-Good-Manners

SPARE THE ROD SPOIL THE CHILD
Most behavior problems are directly caused by parents; treat your kids as people and not animals please.
Listen to what they have to say. Everyone wants a chance to be heard and this includes children. If you plan something let them in on it and voice an opinion. Doesn’t mean you have to go with that opinion but it does show you are willing to listen.
Don’t send all the “hard” questions to your mate. If your child asks YOU something YOU answer. If it not something overly important don’t rat them out either.
Tell your children that you love them every single day. Even if you and their other parent are not together take 10 minutes and call them daily see how they are and to tell them you love them.
If it takes’m less than 15 minutes to clean their room it’s under the bed
