As a parent, you know that most of the time all you're doing is telling your kids to 'do this' and 'do that,' but a blogger at Babble.com has three good suggestions you can say every day that make a huge difference in the way your children behave.

Do you need a hug? 9 times out of 10 it's a 'yes,' and sometimes that's all it takes to end a tantrum.

Do you want to talk about it? Whether or not they want to talk it out is less important than just giving them the option.

I am SO happy to see you! The way you act when your kid enters the room is important for their well-being and sense of self.

There they are. This blogger says hitting on those three things every day has improved her parenting and the way her children behave. Source
