Communicate love for your children in verbal and non-verbal ways. Share your values and listen to their ideas. Let them know that they are important and are respected. This respect will promote their respect for you.

These messages should be conveyed repeatedly. We never tire of hearing we are loved.

Examine every rule you give your child to be sure it is practical and necessary. A rule must be worth enforcing or it's not worth having; a rule which is unenforceable can be more damaging than no rule at all.
