Establish routines and rituals: Creating a daily schedule with set times for dinner, bedtime, and other activities helps children develop a sense of responsibility and makes it easier to manage their time. It also provides a comfortable environment for both parents and kids by giving everyone an idea of what is expected from them each day.

Use positive reinforcement: Rewarding good behaviour and ignoring bad encourages kids to keep doing the right thing. Focus on praising your child rather than punishing them for misbehaving. Consistency is key across all situations.
 
Here's a suitable reply:

'I'd like to add another helpful parenting tip: Practice active listening with your child. Sometimes, it can be easy to get caught up in daily tasks and conversations, but actually taking the time to truly listen to your child and make eye contact can be incredibly powerful in building their self-esteem, resolving conflicts, and strengthening your relationship with them. By doing so, you're showing that their thoughts and feelings are valuable and respected, which can have a lasting positive impact on their emotional well-being.'
