Respect Your Children's Privacy.

A better way to relate and communicate with children is to respect their privacy. It's important to help boost their sense of value and self - esteem.

Expect them to do it wrong and don't get tired of reminding them of what's right. Overtime, they'd learn to do it right.

Be patient and consistent. Kids are messy, and they learn gradually, don't expect them to do it right or obey the decree you gave yesterday.

Don't Lie To Your Children.

Sam, a friend of mine who became a father much earlier than he expected. Once told his little boy that when people die, they become fishes and live in the sea forever.

I am sure Jackson his son was thrilled to hear that. So, one day he picked up a toy gun and told his dad that he was going to kill himself and turn into a fish, so he could swim to anywhere in the world. Funny right?

Why do I tell this story?

Children easily believe the crap we say most times. Lying to your child can reduce the level of trust they have in you. Good, bad, ugly or worse, tell them the truth.

They'd appreciate the truth more than the lie. They may feel bad about the truth, but they trust you'd never lie to them.
