7)      You need to dedicate your time to talk and play with them that allows  you to understand their psychology. Communication is much more important.

8)       Quality time does’nt mean talking or doing something together. At time beings you can just sit with your kids and observe them to gather some insights about their personality.

9)      Child’s behaviour is nothing but a set of information in their brain and its outcome. Also keep in mind your child is always watching you. He always tries to imitate you.

10)  So be careful before you act infront of your children also many parents complaint about their children that they watch too much tv or always play games on phones. If your child is addicted to these, just think how many hours do you spend watching tv or on social media. Child doesnot know what is good or bad, they just do it because you are doing it.
