THE POWER OF LOVE

LOVE BINDS PARENT & CHILD.

GIVE YOUR CHILD ALL

THE LOVE HE NEEDS.

GIVE him care- continuously, consistently. It’s essential for his mental development

GIVE him your time. The hours you spend with him mean more than you will ever imagine.

GIVE him opportunities. To learn and experience new things. This enriches his mind

The POWER OF LOVE (CONTD..)

GIVE him encouragement. In work & play. Do

not limit his attempts at exploring, imitating,

creating, imagining & constructing.

GIVE him responsibilities, starting with simple

chores. It’s good training, and makes him feel

useful.

GIVE him the right to be different. He’s

unique- don’t compare him with his brothers or

sisters.


GIVE him praise. For all his achievements. But

even more- for all his effort in trying, even if he

fails.

GIVE him understanding. Consider his age &

temperament when you show disapproval. You

may reject his behaviour, but never the child.

GIVE him reassurance. Constantly. Never

withdraw from him. Or threaten to stem your love

or give him away.


GIVE him everything he needs. Expect nothing in return . You chose to have him- he did not choose to have you. So teach him respect for elders and filialpiety.

THE MORE LOVE YOU GIVE,

THE MORE YOU‟LL RECEIVE
