Source notes

• 9. 🧠 Teach Instead of Simply Punishing
• When a child makes a mistake, ask:
• "What happened?"
• Then:
• "What can we do differently next time?"
• The goal isn't only to stop unwanted behavior. It's also to help children learn better ways to handle situations.
• 10. 💕 Remind Your Child That You Love Them
• Children need to know that your love doesn't disappear when they make mistakes.
• Say things like:
• "I don't like what you did, but I love you."
• "We can fix this together."
• "Everyone makes mistakes. Let's learn from this one."
