Parents are the most important teachers a child will ever have. They are responsible for the child's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development and well-being, a task that requires much time and thought. Their love for their child is an "unconditional love".
Parents should try to make a distinction between actions (behavior) and the person. The parent disapproves of the behavior, but loves the child. This can be difficult for children to understand. But if the parents do not make the distinction, the child may develop low feeling of self-worth.
Children should be allowed to express their feelings and parents can help children to express feelings in a healthy manner. Parents should also praise their children for their efforts. Children want to please. It is critical that parents should recognize and respond in a positive manner to their efforts.
