Be a good role model. Your child learns from the example you set.
Show respect for your child's feelings, thoughts, and suggestions.
Build your child's self-esteem by showing appreciation for all genuine efforts.
Stay involved. Know what's going on in your child's life, both at school and with friends.
Discipline your child fairly, firmly, and with love. Focus on the behaviour, not the child.
Establish family traditions and make time to do fun things together.
