Because children see parents as authority figures and gods, they think that the way you treat them is the way they deserved to be treated. "What you say about me is what I am" is a literal truth to your child. Consequently when children are treated with respect, they conclude that they deserve respect and hence develop self-respect.

If a child can't learn
The way we teach,
Maybe we should teach
The way they learn.

6 OF THE BIGGEST PARENTING REGRETS...

My baby was bald for her first two full years. Desperate to make her look girlier, I tracked down non-slip hair clips for "ultra fine baby hair" and stuck them on her two strands of hair. When I look back at photos, it just looks like she has a piece of felt glued to her bald head. Major fail.

She is stuck between
Who she is...
Who she wants to be...
And who she should be...

Don't be that person...
