It is essential for parents to recognise the needs and interests of their child and adjust them to the child’s abilities. This can be achieved by talking to the child, listening carefully what the child is saying and thinking.
Children should be given the opportunity to take an active part in the family life according to their age; their independance should be encouraged as well as the development of responsibilities, their interests recognised and developed; children should be protected and their safety should be the top priority; calm and constructive ways of communication should be nourished.
Besides, children need their parents to play with them, help and encourage them, teach them to face and solve problems.
Parents ought to enable their children to explore their abilities, make certain opportunities and activities possible. The environment in which the child lives should be healthy and safe. Whatever they say, both parents and teachers should show the child what to do by example.
