- Keep my child's emotional love tank full - speak the five love languages.
- physical touch
- words of affirmation
- quality time
- gifts
- acts of service
- Use the most positive ways I can to control my child's behavior: requests, gentle physical manipulation, commands, punishment, and behavior modification.
- Lovingly discipline my child. Ask, "What does this child need?" and then go about it logically.
- Do my best to handle my own anger appropriately and not dump it on my child. Be kind but firm.
- Do my best to train my child to handle anger maturely - the goal is sixteen and a half years.
From the five love languages of children
