Limit TV and video games. Don't allow kids to watch too much of the news. It'll scare them and increase their internal sense of anxiety. Introduce children to a multitude of experiences, even if they are hesitant. Play games with your kids.
Recreation is essential to a balanced, happy life.
Clear Expectations Be clear with what you expect with a child or teen. When a child lives up to the rules and expectations, be sure to notice him or her. If you never reinforce good behavior you're unlikely to get much of it. Notice the behaviors you like in your child 10 times more than the behaviors you don't like. This teaches them to notice what they like about themselves rather than to grow up with a critical self-image.
