Twalla Bacolas: Parenting Tips from Twalla Bacolas

SURPRISE, AZ, June 18, 2010 /Parenting PR News/ -- Being a parent is truly a gift from God. Making the decision to have one isn't an easy choice, and sometimes can be unexpected. Twalla Bacolas believes that every parent should learn about what their child will need most when growing into exceptional people. In the following, Twalla Bacolas highlights why having love, patience, and consistency is very important in a child life.
Parental Patience and Love
Throughout the time of raising your child, there are only pros in loving them. Your love will produce patience. Twalla Bacolas would like you to remember that love is not just an emotional feeling; it is an action. Generally, your actions will display your natural love. Just as God loves all His children, you as a parent will love your children even when they mess up.
Even if you would like to think that your child isn't capable of messing up, that is typically not the case. And when they do, Twalla Bacolas explains that our patience allows us to stop, explain to them what they are doing wrong, and teach them the way to do right. Children do not automatically know what to do or how to do right. They are untrained and innocent children that we have brought into the world. Sometimes parents forget that we need to teach correct behaviors. Twalla Bacolas points out that this is one more area where we are putting our love into action. Without it, we are saying "I don't care enough about you to care what you do." That irresponsibility opens the door for children to look for love wherever they can find it. It is very common that children with neglectful parents live to lead a life that involves promiscuity, drug use, gang affiliations, or any number of places where they feel an (albeit destructive) acceptance.
Twalla Bacolas shed light on the fact that every child has his/her own natural tendencies that parents can help guide and develop in the right direction. Giving them a good foundation from the beginning will better produce a healthy, responsible adult.
Parental Consistency
Twalla Bacolas goes on to explain that consistency is key and fits together with both love and discipline. Consistency is often tougher on the parent than the child though. It takes commitment to be a good parent and to stay on track. Too often it is easy to say, "Okay, go ahead" because we are tired and don't feel like the hassle of telling them no. Sometimes parents feel guilt and do not want the child to get upset. Its important that you let your child get upset every now and then, as long as they are learning.
For Twalla Bacolas it is important we understand what our job is as parents. We must stand firm on being the "parent" and not a "best friend" to our children. Its alright to be a friend to your child, but being a parent should always come first.
Twalla Bacolas notes that through consistent discipline, children will learn how to function in a family and society that is full of boundaries, rules, and laws by which we all must abide. Also children gain a sense of security, protection, and self-worth. Keeping these things in mind will help you in your parenting.
