Give children positive feedback for successes. It is important to help children feel proud of who they are and what they can do. Avoid stereotyping girls into particular activities and boys into others. Let both genders choose from a range of activities. Encourage children to balance their activities between high energy and quiet activity.
Children release tension through play.
Children may be extremely active when tired. Encourage quiet reading, painting, puzzles, or board games before bedtime. Regular dental and physical check-ups are an important part of monitoring a child's growth and development. This allows parents to screen for potential problems. If a child accidently loses a permanent tooth, finding the tooth and taking it and the child to the dentist may save the permanent tooth.
