Mother of a 10 year old

How have you encouraged or supported your child to reach their goals or engage in behaviors that are appropriate to the situation they are in?

We’ve set an allowance amount as a ‘base salary’, and give ‘bonuses’ for helping around the house. This way, we can teach them the importance of working and managing money.

How have you managed your child’s behaviors when they were causing troubles for themselves or bothering other people?

I used to get very angry and would yell. And, my child’s mental health was not very good, with their mood up and down. Once I started to try to stay calm, my child’s mental health improved and became more stable.

What types of support or information would you like to have in supporting your child’s behavior?

It would be nice if there is a place we can go to get help in looking after a child just for a short while when I’m irritated or angry.
