Make a list of the best qualities of your child. It is helpful, generous, creative, a good brother to his brothers and sisters? If they excel in art, music, reading or computer skills? Sprinkle just casually into the conversation.
Invite your second child play a board game or a puzzle. In these days of “electronic hearth” reading, board games and puzzles have a real stove disappeared, but the lives of our children. Your child would like checkers, cards, Monopoly, Stratego, or play another board game withyou. If time is limited, play a short game or keep a running game or a puzzle on a table in the living room.
You can draw or paint your child no later than the fridge, or frame it and put it on the wall or mantel.
Praise your child for something they have done particularly well. You can have fun on your computer, a customized “Certificate of praise” for your child. Remember that social intelligence (the art, and keeping friends) is just as important as “book learning.” Make sure your praise is focused and realistic, if your child wants to believe they deserve the compliment.
Invite your child help you bake cookies or prepare a meal. Even if there is more work for mother to her child “help” in the kitchen mean, it’s worth, the impetus for your child’s self-esteem.
Maintaining your relationship with your spouse or significant other. Date nights are important for you to enjoy life together with your spouse. Nothing is more important that your child’s sense of well-known as his parents are happy together.
Model happiness for your child. Every morning, tell your child one thing, you can look forward to the day. Of course you need fun activities for yourself, so you tell your child the truth.
