When parents enjoy their children, children enjoy their parents. This leads to a feeling of accomplishment. Talk about things you see, hear, taste, feel, and smell. Don't try to live your life again through your child. He or she needs someone to share thoughts and ideas.
Labels are important.
Help them do one thing at a time and do it well. Ask about stories or everyday events. Sometimes we all fail. We can learn from our mistakes. Your attitude will be mirrored in your child.
