Some tips - Giving advice

Postby Pili Mateo » Sun Oct 16, 2016 9:12 am

Here you are some tips to facilitate your children raising tasks:
• To establish simple rules that children can understand. For example: “You can watch the TV after having tidied up your room”.
• To establish some clear limits: “You only can play with Play Station on the weekends”.
• If you say “no” to your child, you must always maintain your attitude and your decision: “Mom, can I eat a candy more? No, I warned you to eat only two candies today.”
• Don’t be sad if you see your child crying. It’s good for children to have some frustration, because thus they realize things aren’t always easy.

Sounds like good advice Pili! Do you have children? I imagine that you do :)
One thing:
Here you are some tips= "Here you are." is an expression. For example:
A: Can you pass me the salt?
B: Here you are.

In your sentence you can say:
Here are some tips to facilitate raising your children. This sounds a bit formal, I would say: Here are some child-raising tips.

See you again,

Thank you for your explanation.
And yes, I have a 11-year-old boy. But all these tips don't always work in my case.

LOL! I can imagine - the theory is one thing and the practice another. But that is the wonderful thing about humans: in the end they are not 100% predictable!
