Don't underestimate your kids. Don't be condescending, because they're children but they're not stupid.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Get to know your kids' minds and how they think.
Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.
Don't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may do it.
I don't believe in condescending to children. I don't change any writing technique.
If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.
I think the best thing that you can do with your kids is to talk to them like they're human beings, not like they're children and they don't know what they're doing.
Kids can be harsh, especially when they get jealous.
As a father, you immediately become uncool, especially the older they get. The older you get, it's inevitable that, as cool as you think you are, you're probably just as lame in your kids' eyes.
You tell your kids that no matter what, you set your goals and you go for them. Whatever it is you achieve, never give up. You want your kids to have that good attitude, the confidence, and the will power to believe in themselves.
You have to really respect what your kids are doing with their kids and how they're raising them. You can't push your way into areas where you shouldn't be saying anything. You have to always remember they're not your own kids. Play with them, love them, spoil them to death - then hand them back.
