To do this the child must first learn to trust the parent. Listen to your child. The parents' interest and attention give the child the feeling he is lovable and has value. Help your child become independent. The child whose independence is valued will have the self-confidence to live as a separate person from his parents.
Independent children try to do things on their own.
Help your child develop good social skills. Sharing, listening to others, and learning to conform to rules of the group are all products of early socialization. It is very important for children to learn to respect other children and their feelings. Help your child understand that no other child is exactly like them. If children can show respect for someone different than they are, they will be showing respect for themselves.
