LISTEN UP, PARENTS! YOU NEED TO DO THIS

1. Applaud the kid often. Praise him and be proud of his/her achievements, however small the accomplishments are. 2. Teach them to be responsible and independent. Let them get involved in simple and easy tasks at home. It gives them a sense of achievement and boosts their confidence. 3. Speak to your child about his day. Good conversations help them feel that you care for them and that you are there for them. 4. Encourage them to read. It helps them broaden their imagination and become more creative. 5. Take them outdoors. Take them to a park or indulge in some other outdoor game. It is important for them to be physically active. 6. Hug them. It helps build their self-worth. 7. Mix their study and play time. Don’t keep them occupied throughout the day. Allow free time to explore and learn new things.

8. Don’t pressure them to participate in activities, it can exhaust them and they will lose interest.

9. Avoid negative statements. Give clear instructions in simple terms and keep the tone positive. 10. Don’t be a helicopter parent. Being overprotective will not allow them to grow. Stop hovering. You don’t want your kids to have low self-esteem, do you?
