1) TELL THEM ''I LOVE YOU''.
This doesn't just make your child feel special but also has a very special way of boosting their self esteem and enables the child to develop more trust and confidence in you as a parent. It also help remove any trace of ill feelings whenever you make a decision concerning them or maybe reprimand them for doing something wrong. Telling them you love them also encourages them to love their siblings,friends and everyone in general even you as mum or dad.
2) DO NOT DISPLAY DIRTY HABITS OR DISPOSITION TO YOUR CHILDREN.
These young minds learn faster than you think and i bet you they are bound to pick some up,if not all but some.you must drop all those bad habits before you become a parent as you need to bring up a responsible individual for the society.children don't pick these habits because they are weak but because they barely know what is wrong and what is right.teach them values and morals then let them know what counts and what doesn't.
3) REPRIMAND YOUR CHILD.
Whenever they break a rule,misbehave or do things wrong,please reprimand that child.This may just be a simple punishment.you also have to beat them sometimes but you don't have to hit anything on them.words can also be very nice and works like magic in the lives of young people. WORDS contain ROD so don't spare the rod and spoil the child. however its very important you let them know why they are been reprimanded so they don't repeat the same act. Make your corrections with love.
4) SPEND TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN.
You must never be too busy for your child so always make out time to spend some quality time with them both at home and outdoor.This makes it possible for them to trust you and ask you some questions they may never get the right answers to,from anywhere else. They may probably share their experiences in school and with their peers while you listen and maybe counsel. Now as a parent you can get to discover their fears and encourage them as their hero.A parent,truly parents a child.
5)WATCH WHAT THEY WATCH.
Do not let your children grow up on just the television,cartoons are good i agree but try mixing that with quality educating books that will burst their faculty. As not all cartoons are good for them anyway and also check what they do in school as well by maybe visiting their teacher to find out if and where your child needs help.. though computers are great too but all those should never take the place of books.If they can stay late night to watch a movie then they can as well stay late night during the weekends reading a book as well.
6) DO NOT TEACH THEM VIOLENCE OR TO FIGHT.
Telling your child that fighting is the only way out of a misunderstanding is very wrong. You can raise a humble lion if you train them the right way and don't forget the pen is mightier than the sword.
Fighting means lack of training and self control which means as an adult this child may grow up to fight in the office or in the president's office.. Teach your children love,patience,respect,self control peace and tolerance.
7) COMMIT THEM TO GOD.
This is not just about praying for them but more like praying with them. Teach them about God,make them understand that without God there is no man. Let them understand that everything they have belongs to God as well, so don't teach them not to give or help people.Love and respect your spouse and you all should pray together. Teach them to fast,to pray,not to lie but stay focused. This builds that child to be a more productive person. Remember, a child that walks with God,never walks alone.
We were all boys and girls before we ever became men and women,so there is a child in everyone of us out there,Parenthood is a beautiful thing and Its not about saying am not a parent yet,the first step to being a good parent is getting married to a good spouse that will bring out the best in you and the children. Lets help raise all the children around us as every child should is your responsibility.
ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR OUR CHILDREN. WISHING YOU A HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY.
