Children are more normal than adults think Every child is unique in terms of development, personality, intellect and behaviour. Therefore, much that is labeled abnormal is actually normal. Parents should not try too hard to look for too much wrong in their children. Moreover, some abnormality is bound to exist in every child s life. Expect the unexpected sometimes.
Authority belongs to parents Parents and children are no equals.
Children have a right to unconditional love, respect, security and care but not authority. In your family, the authority rests solely and unquestioningly with you. Therefore, do not be too democratic with your children. Never let them take your statements very lightly. Discipline is action, not words Do not nag, plead, coax, debate, question or threaten the child while enforcing discipline.
