How to Raise a Happy Child
Praise moderately to avoid pressure; postpone "super-praise".
Do not discuss children's problem behaviors within their hearing.
Take charge; don't overpower your children.
Build resiliency; don't rescue your child from reality.
Stay united, be willing to compromise, and say good things about your child's other parent.
Hold teachers, education, and learning in high regard.
Be positive about your own work and that of your child's other parent.
Be a role model of ethics, activity, and hard work.
Enjoy learning experiences with your child.
Keep a separate fun time and adult status without giving adult status too soon.
