Let him know he’s capable of anything
Help him realize his strengths! It is nice to tell him how beautiful or handsome he is, but also let him know that he is intelligent, capable and with enormous potential to make his dreams come true.
Celebrate their achievements
All children need to be valued, do it with both your son and your little one! And also look for the opportunity to show him that he is capable of doing the same as any other boy or girl. Tell her about top women doctors, scientists, leaders, businesswomen, and politicians; or of successful dancers, gymnasts, musicians, artists …
Promote your independence
Encourage them to try new things, risk new challenges, and try to figure things out for themselves. Let them know that you trust him or her, their decisions, and that they are capable of doing what they are passionate about. If you discover a skill for something, like a sport, math, or science, look for activities that boost your talent!
Let it fail
Of the errors also learn! You can teach him that it will not always be easy, but he must trust his own abilities and learn to deal with disappointment, this will help him to try again.
Let them think
According to a work by Dr. Janet Rose Wojtalik called The Seven Secrets of Parenting Girls, it suggests that parents ask their children’s opinions on any subject: What do you think of that? Why do you think it happened? How to realize that? Your attention and approval will give him the confidence to always express his thoughts.
Equity at home
Your son and daughter are your best imitators. When the girls see that their father participates in the housework, they assume that gender does not matter and the work of a family must be fair. If your son sees that dad respects his mom’s work, there is love between you and his mom is an image of independence, he will become a strong and independent man, capable of valuing the feminine gender, in addition.
Given to respect
Although it is a very important topic for girls and boys, let them know that their body is their temple, their greatest treasure and that no one can hurt them. Violence should not be allowed, nor of play!
