- Be attentive to your childs needs, by allocating enough time for him or her, this way parents will get to know their child better.

- Building a childs self esteem, parents should acknowledge any of their childs positive qualities. For example, if the child follows instructions parents should give him or her credit for such. This will help build up the childs self confidence, thus encouraging him to do better.

- Communicate to your child effectively. The best way to understand a child is to listen to him attentively. Many parents always feel the need to tell the child what he should and should not do. Some parents forget to listen what their children has to say. When parents dont listen to their children, a gap develops between them. Thus, children tend to disobey their parents. When a child makes mistakes, instead of blaming him or her, parents should pacify and clarify the situation in a cool and calm manner.

- Lastly, parents should learn to discipline their children by setting up some stringent rules of what is good and acceptable behavior, live up with them as good examples and role models. Most importantly, institute a reward and punishment policy by letting known to them, that there is a reward in doing good and due punishment of doing bad.
