1. Teach your child to control emotions

When the child is calm, show him this simple technique: inhale deeply with your nose, exhale with your mouth and count to 5. If you see that your baby is excited, remind him about these three steps and do them together.
2. Tell me about liability for the actions of
Mom and dad are the main role models and those to whom the child seeks to be like. Tell us about morality, mutual aid, and the world and the environmental issues, explain what is responsible for their actions. And most importantly, don't forget to show word by example and encourage all good things, who will want to make your kid.
3. Teach your child to be compassionate and help the weak
It is very important that the child is able to empathize with not only loved ones and your friends, but everyone else who needs support. Ask them to imagine how he'd feel if you were the new kid in class. Tell us about the more global issues: what can be done for children who have no food? And for those who have no home? Promote social responsibility and let him take age-appropriate action.
4. Teach your child to be grateful
Let your child not hesitate once again to say a kind word and Express their appreciation. Start small: for example, offer a hug and to thank grandma for the delicious food, not to forget to say "thank you", to help around the house, to thank mom for all that she does for the house. By the way, studies show that people who are not shy to Express their gratitude are happier and healthier than others.
5. Teach ethical behavior and set their own family values
Most parents are very sensitive to their children's success in school or in sports. Why not pay attention to the ethical behaviour of the baby? Be clear about family values and watch to and the words and actions your child meet them. Does it respect? Holding back whether promises? How to relate to peers, how to behave with those who are unjustly hurt? And don't forget with whom a child primarily takes the example.
6. Spend more time together
If all your communication with your child will be confined to the talk about discipline, then you will not the best teacher. Try to build a relationship of trust: often, talk and play, spend time together, get out somewhere and, of course, don't forget to show how much you love him. And then your kid will grow into a kind, sincere man who will be good to know what is love and respect, and then will be able to share these feelings with others.
