Tip 1

Never treat children as inferiors. I’m often amazed at the attitude of people. Some people think that a child is only a half a person and cannot contribute anything until it has reached adulthood. I have learnt more about myself from my kids than any other person living on this earth. Just think how you feel when your boss, spouse, partner or colleague gives you the impression that they are cleverer, more experienced and better than you. Would you agree that it doesn’t feel like a good place to be in?

Tip 2

Don’t kill personalities by saying things like Oh you’ll never amount to anything with that attitude. If your parents said it to you it may be possible that you’re just repeating the same old stuff. This is not true. People can amount to anything they want to be. The only thing holding them back is a set of false beliefs. So refrain from programming them into believing they’ll never amount to being anything.
