So no matter how loving the child, parents should let your child be independent, you should divide work for the child by age, encouraged child to participate in social activities and participate in housework
Balancing between child and work
Nowaday, many parents spend too much time at work so that all housework is assigned to the maid or grandparents. They have no time to talk and share with their child that makes children feel alone, lack of confidence. In some case, children love fighting, teasing friends and teachers to get attention from them.
Always balance between life and work, spend more time to talk are the key to make your child better.
Respecting and understanding your child
At any age, we are always eager to be understood and shared, and so is child. If parents impose your thoughts and desires on your child, you will get the worst results.
Parents should make friend with child, often exchange, talk to understand child more. Listening thought, desire and encouragement will help child more confident.
