Compassion

Compassion is a great motivating factor. Parental support, help, guidance & focus on his/her well being while assisting a child define and work towards goal with clarity brings out the best in your child. Assertiveness and control does not pay and is not desirable. Generally each individual thinks himself/herself as somebody and rebels on being denied his right. Trust in capability, respect for views, showing tolerance to inadvertent and unintentional mistakes and making him/her feel important rather than micro managing helps the child develop in an emotionally sharp and intelligent human being. Criticism stunts the normal growth but deliberate mistakes and blunders deserve strict handling. Your opinion/action must not generate feelings that depress him/her.
