POSITIVE REINFORCEM­ENT AND SAY ‘I LOVE YOU’

-

Australian parenting guru Steven Biddulph says children believe what they are told.

If you encourage your child by telling him how responsibl­e and clever he is, he will become even more clever and responsibl­e. Give him a pat on the back for doing good deeds, but remind him that it is not only good deeds that will earn him your love. Reassure him that you love him regardless. “Just imagine how great it feels to be loved unconditio­nally simply for being you!” he says.
