Have you ever had a ways of raising children so they will become caring and confident kids? Am not a parent yet, but if time comes I am sure I will do this ways by M.L. Galvez :) 1. Invest in quality time. It is the best way you can bond with them. These are the moments when your children get to know you and vice-versa. Instead of simply watching television together, do something active that stimulates creativity. Cook, read a book or play musical instrumental together. 2. Know when to say "NO"- Discipline must be taught at an early age, the foundation of children's values is built during the formative years. Children can manipulates adults. Explain to your children why you have say "no". Children are smarter than we give them credit for and they will understand what you are saying. If you give a consistent message, they will learn to respect your decision. 3. Be firm- When decision has been made, your children must learn to respect that. Do not give your children the opportunity to play favorites between parents. 4. Watch what you say- Always use positive words whenever are around children. Say "please remember" instead of "don't forget". A simple "thank you" and warm "hello" will help develop bright and sunny personalities in your children. 5. Learn to listen- When they need to say something, look them in the eye and show them that you are ready to listen. 6. Use rewards wisely- Simple compliments such as "very good" or "good job" should be enough on most occasions. 7. Forgive and forget-If we do something wrong say"I'm sorry" apologize immediately, we should develop in our children the value of admitting mistakes and making up for them. 8. Laughter is the best medicine- Learn to be silly with your children, and your children will adore you simply because you can laugh with them. 9. Encourage public displays of affection- As adults we should never reject their hugs and kisses. 10. Tell your children you love them- In addition to giving them everything they need, we have to tell our kids that we love them. Material things such as toys or favorite food are not enough. Be vocal. Letting them know that you love them addresses one of humankind's basic needs: the need to belong.....
