Children must learn to finish what they start. They need to learn that there are good and bad ways to express anger. Children must learn to have an interest in others and understand how others feel. Parents, even more than child-care centres and good schools, help children develop these skills. Set a good example.
Children imitate what they see others do and what they hear others say.
When parents exercise and eat nourishing food, their 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. Children come into this world with a powerful need to discover and to explore.
