This document outlines effective parenting strategies such as setting firm limits through enforceable statements, recognizing appropriate behaviors through positive reinforcement like praise, using timeouts judiciously and appropriately for unsafe behaviors, and maintaining consistency between caregivers. The key messages are that discipline should teach rather than punish, and that parenting requires patience, as it may take time for children to adapt to new strategies. Staying positive and spending quality time with children is emphasized.

a new strategy before your child “gets it”
