How Not To Embarrass The Kids

our expect Hillie Marshall, a counsellor with eighteen years experience, gives you some tips on how to avoid embarrassing your children. our expect Hillie Marshall, a counsellor with eighteen years experience, gives you some tips on how to avoid embarrassing your children.

Step 1: Meeting their friends

When you're meeting their friends remember you're the parent you don't have to be one of them. Just be yourself, be natural. And whatever you do don't recount anecdotes from their childhood. Give them space, don't overcrowd them. Don't use any current jargon, it'll make you look ridiculous. It will make your children cringe.

Step 2: Not in front of the children

Nothing will fill your children with more dismay than if you start behaving inappropriately. By all means having a cuddle on the sofa or hold hands, but nothing more.

Step 3: Giving advice

Try not to inflict your views onto your children. It's their life. Try to give the pros and cons of any situation and let them make their own minds up. You'll have a far happier family if you do this.

    I think its great when parents cuddle in front of the kids! Yes it can be kinda annoying, but its nice to know that your parents are still very much in love.

    they did say "suggest pros and cons for the situation". Basically the parent is already advising their children, but in a better way so it's accepted easier.
