How to Handle Children
Introduction
Children are our future. We need to raise them right so that they can grow up to be responsible adults, and be productive members in our society. We need to understand them and know what they are feeling, as well as how they think in different situations.

Things you need
o Children
o Discipline
Step 1:
When a child is being raised he or she needs a parent, not a friend. Do not be afraid to say no. But only in instances that would result in either physical or mental harm to the child or anyone else. If it does not do not say no just to be authoritative. The child can see the difference.
Step 2
Always be fair. Do not favor one child over another. If a thing is right, it does not matter who says nor does it, it remains right. The children sensing that you behave fairly, will emulate you and will learn to be fair themselves.
Step 3
Discipline is very important. That statement would raise some eyebrows, but discipline does not mean beating a child. It is the difference between right and wrong and no matter how difficult it is, doing the right thing. A lot of people act on the wrong premise and get all flared up.
Step 4
Let them be as long as they are not hurting themselves or others. Understand your children, they have to do something, they cannot be statues. Give them games and teach them plays where discipline, the right kind, is required to be used. Do not let them watch TV the whole day.
Step 5
Children are like sponges, they absorb whatever they are exposed to. So be very careful as to who they are with and what they do. Their whole life is dependent on what they learn today. If they learn the right way, they will do the right thing.
Step 6
Spend time with your children. They would love to spend time with you when they are in their formative years. If they are not with you learning the difference between right and wrong, they are with outside forces that do not care what your child learns, and since they do not have to deal with them afterwards they teach them the wrong things for fun.
Step 7
Be good role models to your kids, for they do what you do. If you do not want them smoking then do not smoke in front of them at least. Do not leave them alone without knowing where they are and what they are doing. It may not earn you points as their friends, but sure does get high points as parents.
Step 8
Have fun with your children. Always spend quality time with them, for they grow up so fast. Before you know it they are ready to move out on their own, and they carry the lessons they learned early in their life and use them for the rest of their life.
Tips
Treat your children like you would like to be treated.
Warnings
When you show displeasure mean what you say and warn them that their bad behavior will not be tolerated.
