Every child is unique in their own extraordinary way. Each child’s mentality is different and every child has its own way of feeling, thinking and interacting with others. Some children are reserved, while others are outgoing; some are dynamic, while others are quiet; some are anxious, while others are tolerant. As an affectionate parent, it’s your duty to support your child to embrace their uniqueness and celebrate their extraordinary qualities.

Allow your child to express themselves through their interests. They may find a imaginative outlet in theater, dancing or art, or they may be remarkably talented in the sciences. Encourage them to do what they like to do, what interests them, and what makes them happy. Help them understand that they don't need to worry about being 'like everyone else.'

Teach your child to make positive options, and praise them for good activities, behaviors and positive character they own. Encourage them to become actively involved in their society, and introduce them to activities that encourage a sense of cooperation and achievement. Be firm yet fair when handing down discipline for misdeeds or misbehaviors, and make certain the rules and consequences for breaking the rules are clearly defined. Show a cooperative, loving and united front with your spouse when it comes to obedience.

Accept and celebrate your child's individuality. Remember that your child is an individual. Allow your child to have his or her own personal favorite and feelings, which may be different from your own.

And finally, support your child to be true to themselves by doing the same. Show your child how to make positive selection with the choices you make, and that nobody is perfect and you too make mistakes. Show your child that mistakes can be a great learning experience and that they should not be humiliated or feel uncomfortable about making them.
