It is important to remember that your actions can have an influence on your child's behavior. Be a role model for your child by modeling the behaviour you want. Remember to reward your child for their good behavior. You can reward them with praises and gifts.

Discipline

Respecting your child's rights is an essential aspect of raising them. It helps your child see that good behavior is normal behavior and bad behavior not. Discipline techniques work best when parents follow through on the consequences and make sure their child understands why they are being punished. Children should understand discipline techniques so they are age-appropriate.

Nurture

Nurture is a very important aspect of child-raising. There are many factors that influence the way children are raised. These include the environment they live in, their parents' parenting style, and who they are exposed to. The environment can have a significant impact on a child's behavior and personality.
