Yet, being a parent is a wonderful experience, from bearing your child from fetus to growing pains in the a$$. You also learn from them and it’s never been an ending experience. Until you’re a grandparent, and that’s a different story.

Here are 3 things to practice from day one of being a parent:

1. Never fail to give praises. Whenever your child does something right, you should praise him or her to let her know you appreciate what he’s or she’s done. In that way, he or she will be fond of doing right things and in the same way making them happy doing those. Surely, they will always wait for your compliments after. And with that also, your child will never want to commit mistakes as much as they could.

2. Know his/her potential. In your everyday interaction of child-parent relationship. You can distinguish what field your child excels. Knowing that, you should enhance whatever it is for them to have mastery of what they love. For example, you can see that he/she loves to sing, find time even every hour a day where you can let him/her hear different kinds of music and sing with it.

3. Let them be. Meaning, let them be what they want to be. As related on the above discussions, do not force your child to do what you want from them but let them do what they really want. Knowing their potentials, you must not hinder them from what they love to do and you must not also give them frustrations as a parent. In fact, you should be the one who’ll encourage them and who’ll let them explore in growing up. Otherwise, who else would? You know what’s best for them and you also don’t want them to get wrong ideas from their peers. Though we really can’t help it but we parent were also there to guide them consistently.
