Children need limits, and are quite capable of accepting and learning from life s losses, hardships and difficulties, with proper guidance and support. Demonstrate a positive attitude towards your child s mistakes and shortcomings. Mistakes can be the best teachers. It is inevitable and necessary for all of us to make lots of mistakes, and all of us should learn from them. Provide them with higher values, spiritual training and moral guidance.
Children respond to high ideals and moral truth.
They need these to guide their lives. But remember, too, that moral development is gradual, and children are naturally self-centered. It requires a firm, loving manner to guide them to unselfishness. Nurture your marital relationship. A cooperative, mutually supportive relationship with your child s other parent creates the most favorable conditions for child rearing.
