This will encourage children to develop these qualities further and they will learn to appreciate positive qualities of others. B) Be careful - We need to be careful while complimenting child.

Similarly compliment the child for any act of kindness, sacrifice etc. C) Be Encouraging - Never discourage your child if he or she does not perform up-to the mark in studies or any segment of life. Always encourage them. This will teach them value of encouragement and they will adapt the concept of encouragement in their life in a natural way. D) Be Hopeful - You need to make a list of the character traits you want your children to develop. This list needs to be prepared by observing their natural inclination. Now help your child develop them in a systematic way. During this process, you need to be 100 percent hopeful that these character traits will help your child through out the life.
