Don't make your child fear you

                        WHAT YOU MUST NOT DO TO YOUR CHILD
Another thing you must not do to your child is DON'T MAKE HIM/HER FEAR YOU. What you need from your child is honour and respect. These are earned and not enforced. Fear has torment and when a child is subjected to it, he/she finds it difficult to learn. Don't ever make the mistake of thinking that when your ward is afraid of your, they would respect you. They respect rather when they love you, and love is not enforced but earned.
       Make your children love you by showing them the reasons to obey what you tell them. Share your own stories with them in a loving atmosphere.
Apart from its tormenting effect, fear makes children prone to mistakes. They would brake the breakable plates, fall the baby, unintelligible in speech, stumble, etc. Academically, they would loose confidence, feel inferior and unloved, stammer, and fail exams.
        Allow your kids to contribute freely on discussions at home. Ask for their views before taking any decision that concern them. Teach them to respect everyone and to fear nobody.
Note lastly, fear is not of God. Teach your children confidence because it pays to be confident. Remain a good parent.
