Show that you care about your children. They thrive when they have parents or other caregivers who are loving and dependable. Small children need attention, encouragement, hugs, and plenty of lap time. Children who feel loved are more likely to be confident. Set a good example.
Children imitate what they see others do and what they hear others say.
When parents exercise and eat nourishing food, children are more likely to do so. When parents treat others with respect, their children probably will, too. If parents share things, their children will learn to be thoughtful of others' feelings. Have a positive attitude toward learning and toward school. Children come into this world with a powerful need to discover and to explore.
