Children follow in their parent’s footsteps
Parents should know that their kids will notice every minor activity. They will even notice how you behave as a couple — your fights, your behavior with the neighbors, your friends and your elders. If you want your child to be a good person, in the future, make sure that you always behave positively in front of them.
In case you have made a mistake, make sure that you apologize. It will help your child know that it is not wrong to apologize.
The real test of positive parenting begins when you find out that your child has hidden something important from you. It is important that you never force your child. Show them that you are here to help, because only then your child will get the confidence to share the problem with you.
The best way to communicate with your child is through your actions. No doubt that giving your child some space is a positive parenting action, but at the same time you should keep a close eye on the activity of your child. It will allow you to provide them required help at right time.
Bottom line
Give them a little bit freedom to do their favorite activities. Be the best example for them. Always believe your kid. Doubting your kid will make them insecure.
Don’t be an extra strict parent. Instead try to be a friend as well as a parent. However, keep this friendship limited. Try to balance both.
A child can never follow all the rules and regulations of his parents. They don’t really understand what they are doing and what you want them to do. They take time to learn how to behave. All you can do is to just try to communicate well with your child.

When people are brought up with smacking and harshness, they say “look at me, I,m ok” because they don’t realise there are more gentle ways to redirect children to make the right choices.
