The POWER OF LOVE

LOVE BINDS PARENTS AND CHILD GIVE YOUR CHILD ALL THE LOVE HE NEEDS

GIVE him care - continuously, consistently. It's essential for his mental development. GIVE him your time. The hours you spend with him mean more than you will never imagine. GIVE him opportunities. To learn and experience new things. This enriches his mind. GIVE him encouragement. In work and play. Do not limit his attemps at exploring, imitating, creating, imagining and constructing. GIVE him responsibilities, starting with simple chores. It's good training and makes him feel useful. GIVE him the right to be different. He's unique - don't compare him with his brothers or sisters. GIVE him praise. For all his achievements. But even more for all his effort in trying, even if he fails. GIVE him understanding. Consider his age and temperament when you show disapproval. You may reject his behaviour, but never the child. GIVE him reassurance - constantly. Never withdraw from him. Or threaten to stem your love or give him away. GIVE hin everything he needs. Expect nothing in return. You chose to have him - he did not choose to have you. So teach him respect for elders and filial piety. THE MORE LOVE YOU GIVE, THE MORE YOU'LL RECEIVE
