How to raise children?
There is no definitive answer to this question. Children are not robots and their development is largely dependent on the environment in which they grow up. There are many factors to consider such as the age, gender, and interests of the child; parenting styles; family structure; parental education or professional skillsets, and more.
However, there are some general pointers that might help parents in raising their children:
- Discuss your expectations for your child with them.
- Talking about all kinds of topics with them - from politics to sports to what they learned at school that day.
- Setting a good example by eating nutritious food, doing physical exercise, reading books...
What makes a child successful in life?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, but there are some guidelines that may be helpful.
First, make sure that you are aware of your children's needs and wants. Children need a lot of attention and cannot always express themselves easily. It is important to pay attention to their body language and expressions as well as verbal clues about how they feel about different things.
Second, it is important for both parents to spend time with the children instead of leaving them in front of a TV all day or letting one parent do all the heavy lifting. It's important for both parents to cultivate their child's social skills by being involved in playdates and making sure they have friends over regularly.
