- Remain calm throughout your pregnancy
- Be responsible for maintaining a close attachment to your child
- Encourage a clear relationship of dependency while young
- Actively socialize him, teaching him how to behave with others
- Give him moral education - the knowledge of what is right and wrong
- Have him practice caring for others
- Foster awareness of self and teach him to see the needs of others
- Avoid feeding his ego. Humility, not self-pride, is your goal
- Avoid increasing self-esteem for its own sake
- Avoid attachment to peers instead of caring adults
- Keep competition fun and limit its scope, know when to stop
- Don’t attach value to physical beauty nor athletic performance
- Attach value to good intentions and to effort made, not outcome
- Manage Counter-Will (defiance) with increased attachment
- Give him your vision of the future - how the world will be a better place
- See his inner qualities and his potential
- Believe in your child, encourage him.
