Children - Love them

This is so obvious yet needs to be said. Children perceive love through actions more than words. Show understanding, they are obviously not as experienced as you so give them the allowance to grow. Listen to them especially when they are not 'making sense'..

.. it helps their confidence.

Give them gifts no matter how small, it is a token of love. And for teenagers, give them some independence and talk with them like adults, that is what they crave for.

On loving your children, allowing them to face challenges is love. You should not do everything for them. The building blocks of champions is overcoming challenges💪🏽, it builds their confidence.
House chores are good for them, let them do it, it teaches them the value..

.. and discipline of work.
Delayed gratification is a lesson that they should learn early, that you can afford it does not mean they should have it now.
Love them right.

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.

Parents, don't come down too hard on your children or you'll crush their spirits.

You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children...
