1139.0. "Mistakes Parents Make?" by DEMON::PANGAKIS (Tara DTN 227-3781) Mon May 13 1996 10:24

    Did anyone catch the (I'm not sure what channel, I don't watch
    much TV, this was a rare event for me) "10 mistakes parents"
    on Boston news last week?
    
    They included:
    
    1. Saying no quickly (and recanting later, making No not seem like NO!)
    2. Not making "couple time" so your kids see healthy relationships
    3. Treating medicine like candy to get kids to take it
    4. Overusing over the counter medicine
    5. Providing too much (unwarranted) praise
    6. Overscheduling your kids
    7. Getting behind on immunizations
    
    What were the other three?  They seemed to make sense, and worth
    remembering...
    
    Thanks,
    Tara

1139.1Or was it 9?MROA::LEMIREMon May 13 1996 18:125
    If it makes you feel any better, I think it was only "9 mistakes",
    not 10.  And I can't remember the other two.  I think you're
    doing great to remember 7!

    I was half asleep when I saw it, but wasn't one of them
     - not validating your childs feelings?  
    
    or something like that ...thanks for the list, I was hoping
    to be awake for the whole thing!  :-)
