Kindness and courtesy
Teaching children to be kind and polite is more important than academic performance. Successful engineers are those who can communicate well with colleagues. Friendship comes from caring for others, not expecting others' care.
The power of praise
Praise can create miracles, while too much criticism will make children blame themselves. When praise is specific and clear, the effect is better. Talking frankly with children about the problems they may encounter, such as alcohol and sex, can reduce their risk of engaging in dangerous behaviors.
Talk about taboos
Talking frankly about dangerous topics with children and letting them know their own dangers can enhance their awareness of prevention. By understanding and asking questions, you can better understand your child's thoughts and concerns.
Learn to let go.
As children grow up, we need to relax the boundaries. Boys, in particular, are eager to be independent and keep a certain distance from their parents. Mothers should not feel abandoned or cowardly, but should understand that this is a natural process of children's growth.
Guiding direction
Children need a moral compass to guide them. Parents should instill the concept of right and wrong on major issues and strengthen these concepts in daily chores. If parents behave well, children will follow their example.
Play with others
Taking time out to play with children is a good way to enhance parent-child relationship. Whether it is outdoor activities or indoor games, parents can understand their children's interests and personality, and at the same time enhance the cohesion of the family.
