• Parent by example
  • Be calm around them
  • Explain things in an honest but tactful way
  • Read them a story every night, and buy audio books for when I’m not there
  • Attend to my happiness as well, so they can see that I’m happy
  • Tell them all about their family history
  • Don’t be afraid to admit I don’t know something
  • Praise them for kindness and generosity and sincerity and hard work, not for being “outstanding”
  • Don’t reinforce competitiveness (see above)
