1) Work on your self
what do you mean by work on yourself, you may ask. What I mean is work on your self. You are your kid's first teacher, mentor, friend and leader. You don't expect to raise excellent kids while you are still struggling. You teach what you know but you reproduce who you are. Look all around you and you will see children behaving just like their parents. You don't have to be perfect but you must understand your weaknesses, try to overcome them and also help you children avoid them. Children are always watching even when you think they are not. You must teach them in the school of example because they will lean in no other. To lead outstanding kids tomorrow you must start leading yourself today.2) Self-governance
When children are infants and toddlers it is always exciting to do every thing for them. But most parents don't know when to call it a day on this stage of their responsibility. A time comes when you can not do every thing for them any more. Every body at some point must make decisions for themselves no matter what their parents did. If you don't want to have a grown up baby, you have to start early to teach them to take responsibility for their actions. Also for those parents that have grown up children, you have to be aware of you limits before you will be tagged a limited liability parent. Enjoy the different stages of life
3) Communicate
Talk to your children, Ask about their hopes, dreams, fears. Talk to them about their day, their friends and teachers. Communicate with them in play and in serious discussion. Did I hear you say serious discussion. Yes that's what I said. Children have brains too you know, they can reason too. Try correcting with words and see them change if they see that it is love motivated. Get talking with them before someone else gets them talking.
