Soulful Thoughts of Rachel

I would like to share a very interesting list of rules that I read from a book. Dr. R. F. Hertz, a British Psychologist conducted a research where in he asked children between the ages of 8 and 14 in different countries to make a list of rules of behavior for parents. Test results have been compiled and I think the list is a great eye opener for many parents.

1. Do not quarrel in front of your children.
2. Don’t lie to a child.
3. Always answer children’s questions.
4. Treat all your children with equal affection.
5. There must be a mutual tolerance between parents and children.
6. There should be comarediship
7. Treat your children’s friends as welcome visitors.
8. Don’t blame or punish your child in the presence of his friends.
9. Concentrate on your child’s good points, and don’t emphasize his failings.
10. Be constant in your affection and your moods.
