- Give your child the freedom to ask questions and allow him to disagree with you sometimes.
- Praising, if done rightly glorifies your child’s good behavior (It will not spoil your child. Praise the act, not the child.)
- The discipline must fit the deed, not exceed it.
- Children don’t learn from what you say, but they learn more from what you do.
- Demonstrate love and affection whenever necessary. Don’t use love as a payment for good conduct.
- Don’t be over protective towards your child, we all learn by making mistakes.
- Children do not upset you, rather it is your attitudes which upset you.
