- Avoid labelling your child based on his/her intellectual strength, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” – Albert Einstein. Teach them to find their path, Keyword "TEACH".
- Avoid unnecessary praises that are not deserved. Teach them you earn anything whatsoever with hard work.
