3. If you praise the child regularly, he will learn to value.

4. If the child is shown hostility, he will learn to fight.

5. If you are fair to the child, he will learn to be fair.

6. If a child is ridiculed frequently, he will be a shy person.

7. If the child grows up feeling safe, he will learn to trust others.

8. If the child is frequently denigrated, an unhealthy feeling of guilt will develop in him.

9. If the child's ideas are accepted regularly, he will learn to feel good about himself. If the child is encouraged in what he does, he will gain self-confidence.

10. If the child lives in a friendly atmosphere and feels necessary, he will learn to find love in the world.

11. Do not speak ill of your child, neither when he is near nor when he is not there.

12. Always listen to your child and answer him when he approaches you with a question or a comment.

13. You must be willing to help your child if he looks for something, but also to go unnoticed if he found what he was looking for.

14. Respect your child even if he has made a mistake. He will correct it now or maybe he will do it later.

15. When you address your child, always do it in the best way. Give him the best that is in you.
