1. Love: Love your child because he is your child and not because he is talented or the best student in the class. Your love will give your child the necessary assurance, acceptance, and approval. Psychologically, he will feel that he is safe, been loved, and cared for.
2. Attention: Listen to your child carefully while he is talking to you. Your child needs your attention as much as you need his attention. Strike a conversation on subjects that interest him in order to get closer to your child
3. Help: Help your child with his homework He will turn to you when the need arises. Your child will find support in you and you feel proud of yourself because you are more than your parents to him.
4. Spend time with your child: Happiness for your child is spending quality time with him. Go for a walk in the park or window shopping at the mall. When you are close to your child, he will find it easy to talk to you and will not hesitate to ask for help when he has a problem.
5. Encourage the habit of regular exercise: When I go jogging I ask my son to come along. He likes to ride a bicycle so while I jog he cycles. The whole idea is to foster the good habit of physical activities to build a healthy body and a healthy mind in him
6. A love for books: I like to read whenever I am free. My reading habit is noticed by my children and they follow my habit. When we go to the mall, Popular Book Store is our first stop and, more often than not, it is our last stop as well. A love for books is the most useful habit that your child can acquire in his whole life. Books are sources of knowledge, wisdom, and motivation for your child. Spending more time on reading books means spending less time on TV for your child.
7. Motivation: You don’t have to be a teacher or a tutor to motivate your child. What your child needs from you are your kind and caring words. When he is about to sit for an examination just tell him to do carefully and do his best. Your child will be motivated and he is not under pressure. Words of encouragement work wonder for your child. Praise him for his effort in getting good results. You send a clear signal that hard work is essential to success. Encourage your child to be better in his own performance and not by competing with others.
A happy home environment is vital for healthy growth in your child so that he will be happy, smart, responsible, obedient, and self-assured.
