Your values will begin to be reflected in the actions of your child. Fourth, encourage and affirm. When your child makes progress in behavior and demonstrates your values, praise him lavishly, but sincerely. Encouragement helps your child embrace your values, and gives him vital messages about esteem, confidence and courage. The way he feels about himself is determined in great measure by his perception of how you feel about him.
Success begets success.
Encouraging and supporting your child does wonders in moving him along toward an acceptance of those values which will have great meaning in his life. Fifth, love your child unconditionally and make sure she knows it. This is the most important ingredient in building a lasting relationship of trust and acceptance. They know if things aren't the way you say they are. Mistakes may be made but love forgives all.
