Set Routine

This will give your child proper time to get ready. This will also help you on the day of your child’s first stage performance because your child will get ready in time avoiding any mistakes in hurry.
Help Your Child to Get Organized
When a child inculcates this
behaviour then they can have a complete control over their life. Being organized also boosts their self confidence and motivates them a lot. A child who is organized is sharper than other children. At regular intervals help your children to re-organize their belongings. This activity will make them independent and they can imbibe a ‘Can Do’ or ‘Can Manage’ attitude.
Provide them Their Own Space
As you know the date of their stage performance before the big day comes give them space of their own. Make a space in a corner of the house which is only for the young ones, and let them discover, think and explore in their own way. This will
enhance creativity and also they will feel that their dad trusts them which will also increase their self confidence. Dads can work in this way on daily basis too as it is fruitful way to boost your child’s development.
Increase Two Way Communication
If ever dads do not have time they can always plan dinner time together so that they can increase two way communications with their child. During that time you can make an enquiry how the preparation for stage shows is going on. You can even share your experience when you had faced your first stage show and how you made it successful or even how you lost it. May be by sharing this with your child she would feel relaxed and get more comfortable with you to share her thoughts or fear if any with you.
Efforts are More Important
Dads should always remember that they should never over burden or pressurizes their child to get good grades. An effort of their child is much more important than the grades or marks. A Dad should always praise the efforts of the child than the grades and if the grades are not satisfying in front of the efforts made then dad and child both should make a joint research what and where it is getting wrong.
Dad should teach their children that failure is the first step towards success. May be this was not the time for your child as some of the things may have went wrong. But failure is a good teacher, he who learns from their failure is sure to taste the big success in life.
