| Be there
at the time of child's birth.
Read Books about your
child's brain and it's development.
Subscribe to parenting
magazines and develop a life time interest in becoming a
better parent.
Touching and holding your
child at birth and beyond strengthens the bond between
child and parent. Children never outgrow the need
to be touched gently and often.
Develop your child's
emotional intelligence by being tuned in to his feelings
and letting him know that you know.
Nurture your child's
self control. Babies who feel safe and secure are
beginning to learn self control.
Be a role model for your
child. Keep in mind children often imitate how
adults behave - both good and bad.Set clear limits and have
simple rules. Children feel safer when they know
what is expected of them.Plan interesting things
for your child to do. A child who is busy playing
will be less likely to act out.The ability to love and
relate to others stems from social attachment, the
development of close relationships early in life.Teach empathy by
responding to your child's needs promptly and lovingly
from the time of birth. |
