I always request parents to be friendly with their kids, this is very
important for their grooming. You cant expect your kid to be good at anything until you give them a the hand of friendship. Kids loose their confidence & creative thinking in stressful situations. if you are strict to your kid. Remember confidence is the first step to success in the road of life. So if you want your kid to be bold & confident, you have give them proper time in a friendly way, You have to make sure that your kids consider you their best friends. This is very important to understand their feelings.
Yes! I agrees with the argument that to make your kids discipline you need to be struck with them, but you can do this in a friendly way as well. Punishments & restrictions are not good in a long run when you messed up the kids personal ego. So be friendly & you are all done to make your kid healthy & genius in any situation of their life.
