Show Love and Affection
When it comes to a child, you should not overlook the significance of physical connection. Most often a warm touch or a caring hug is enough to convey how much you love him. Make your child comfortable with hugs and kisses right from birth.
Praise Your Child
Praising is equally important as pointing out the mistakes or wrong behaviour. Make sure you praise your child honestly so that he feels good about himself and his accomplishments.
Listen to Your Child
Having both ways communication with your child is very important. Create an environment to make your child come to you no matter how big or small the problem is.
Spend Quality Time With your Child
You should spend quality time with your child so that he feels special. This can be making a trip to museum or theme park or just sitting at home and relaxing with your kid.
Appreciate Milestone
Be present for all kinds of achievements of your child no matter whether it is viewing the play in which he enacted or the day when he was given prize for some achievement. Children grow very fast and these are cherished moments for both, child and parents.
Be Happy for What Your Child Has Achieved
Parents often compare their child with others which has negative impact on the mental development of the child. Instead you should be happy for what your child is able to achieve and motivate your child to develop certain skills and encourage him achieve that.
Respect Your Child’s Privacy
Just as you like to be left uninterrupted at times, children also need to have some commotion free and private time. But make sure that you know what your child is doing so that he or she does not end up doing undesirable things.
Appreciate Your Child’s Efforts
You should not push your child to get high grades in exams or be a leader of the soccer team of his school. Let your child develop and put in effort in which he is good at. Help your child by being an involved parent so that he or she can do better.
Reward Your Child
Do not forget to give apt rewards at your child’s even smallest achievement whenever required.
Let Your Child Learn from Experiences
Do not always direct your children. Allow them to live with consequences for the choices they make. But always provide guidance from time to time.
Always remember that your work is not done. Even if you are hundreds of miles away, you should give love and affection to your child and support him.

Even if the child has not done well it is important to appreciate the efforts of the child. This is the important thing which parents should never avoid doing.
Spending quality time with kids is an important thing which every parent should do. I am a working mother but I make sure that I am always there 24 x 7 with my child on the weekends.
Yes all these things are a must for a parent to do. Most of the times parents only see the negative things and forget to appreciate good things in a child.
