Foreword
It is quite simple to be able to provide for the basic necessities of a
child such as food, clothing, shelter and others. However when it
comes to providing the nurturing element in a child’s life a little more
thought and energy needs to be exercised. There are some general
guide lines that can and should be followed to ensure the emotional
health development of a child.

Chapter 1:
The Basics On Nurturing Your Child
Synopsis
Being aware of the capabilities of each stage in a child’s growing life is
important. This is to ensure that no unnecessary expectations or
demands are made on the child.

- 6 -
The Basics
Allowing and encouraging a child to express his or her feeling freely is
one way of teaching a child how to cope with difficulties. The
teachings and guidance extended should be done in a positive manner
to ensure the element of violence is not part of the expression process.
Making an effort to respect the child and the expressed feelings of the
child is paramount in building a strong relationship where the child
feels confident in broaching any problem or situation.
Establishing an open communication style is beneficial to both
parties. This style allows the child to be confident in the listening
capacity of the parent without being judgmental or unduly harsh.
Encouraging the child to be open and adventurous will help the child
to build their own individual confidence and personal disciple levels.
They will then be able to have the independence and self worth that
comes from being able to cope when exposed to different things.
Above all a child must be confident in a parent’s love and acceptance.
With all the other negative elements in the world today, being able to
count on a parent’s unconditional love is very important. If this
element is present in the relationship most children can cope better in
life.

Chapter 2:
Build Your Childs Self Esteem
Synopsis
Building self esteem in a child will be the creating factor in the
makings of a health adult both in mind and body. The foundation of
having confidence and the rounded well being factor will definitely
carry through to adulthood and the successes expected.

- 8 -
Self Worth
Encouraging a child to positively develop their own individual self
image is very important. Though it starts as a small and
insignificantly thought of process, the building of self image is
actually very impactful in the way a child views themselves. These
views will undoubtedly be transferred into adulthood, so the
implications are far and wide.
Teaching a child to have a strong positive self image will also help to
keep the child from having future behavioral problems. These
problems normally stem from the feelings of looking for acceptance
which if not found within the family unit, will then be sought outside.
During the young stages of a child’s life, being available for the child
as much as possible is also another way to build self esteem. However
being around does not necessarily means pandering to the every
whim and fancy of the child. It is more to build a level of bonding
within the family unit so that the desired closeness will be
instrumental in growing the love and confidence element in the child.
Interacting and being genuinely interested in the child activities and
accomplishment is also highly recommended. Sometime it may
require a certain percentage of feigning interest but its well worth
exercising the effort to encourage the feeling of self worth in a child.

- 9 -
Explaining gently or correcting a child gently keeps the child from
becoming overly fearful yet still being able to understand the reason
for the correction and also being able to acknowledge the mistake.
This in turn helps the child to always be able to move on and improve
themselves even after a mistake has happened.

- 10 -
Chapter 3:
Catch The Good And Not Always The Bad
Synopsis
Human nature is such that most people only acknowledge the
negative in anything. Being able to focus on the good can be a
challenge but it is not impossible. Training the mind from an early
age would be a benefit to all around.

- 11 -
The Good Stuff
Children are by far a very innocent and impressionable bunch,
therefore whatever actions and words spoken must be done with the
utmost care and concern. Those who are in the position to impart the
necessary confidence in a child should take every possible
opportunity to do so.
In every instance from games to doing simple stuff the focus and
comments made should be of a complimenting and encouraging
nature. Things that may seem silly or trivial to an adult would be very
important to a child so being careful and prudent in all comments is
important. This does help the child to foster further positive mind set
and be willing to try new things without having to be concerned about
being condemned or criticized.
When the adult is able to focus on the positive of everything, the child
will also learn to do so. This will come in handy when the child is
exposed to the “real world.”
Praising a child as often as possible also helps the child to be able to
understand how to acknowledge the good in others too. Children
definitely respond better to positive words and actions. It is much
easier to get the cooperation and participation of a child when the
general persuasive comments and compliments are of a positive
nature.

- 12 -
A child who is used to being positively encouraged will also be able to
give positive encouragement to others. These types of children would
have no problem making friends and being popular. Their ability to
share and be caring is also a byproduct the positive elements they
have been exposed to.

- 13 -
Chapter 4:
Demonstrate The Love Is Unconditional
Synopsis
Love is a precious gift and should be given as often as possible.
Children need to understand from a very early age that the love is
given and received unconditionally.

- 14 -
The Love
Though the idea of giving and receiving love unconditionally should
be as it is termed, it however does not imply that a child can do or say
anything without a certain amount of boundaries in place. When a
child is being difficult or naughty, the parent is duty bound to correct
the child but at the same time ensuring that the unconditional love
element is kept totally in tack. This is an important point to ensure
the child understands.
Love between the primary care givers is also important, as the child
will be privy to how the adults around react to each other. Therefore
is has to be understood that the unconditional love is not just within a
certain circle but can be altered to include anyone at any given time.
As a child ages the wrong understanding of love may bring about a
certain degree of insecurity. In the adult world, love is rarely
unconditional and often shown in words and actions to this effect,
therefore if the child begins to realize this, then everything in his or
her life will be associated to this style of thinking.
A very important area a child needs to experience unconditional love
is connected to the physical and mental achievements of the child.
Most children find this the most hurtful and challenging area where
almost all attest to the lack of unconditional love.

- 15 -
When a child feels the negative and disapproval vibes expressed
because of low achievement even though there was genuine effort to
do the very best, they could withdraw and consecutively under
achieve in future endeavors. Therefore it is of utmost importance to
reprimand but at the same time focus the reprimand on the action
and not the child itself.

- 16 -
Chapter 5:
Make Rules And Be Consistent
Synopsis
In parenting it sometimes becomes very hard to be consistent in
anything. This is especially so if the child is their absolute pride and
joy. Few people like to be in the position to meet out punishment or
to reprimand, and it becomes more difficult if it involves their
beloved child.

- 17 -
Do It Right
However for the better and rounded development of the child it is
absolutely necessary to met out a certain level of discipline and order.
The key to this is to stay consistent and firm. Some of the good traits a
child will learn from being exposed to the expected levels of
consistency when it comes to discipline are the ability to become a
reliable, dependable, and constant individual.
Being able to make the rules and then to ensure they are consistently
followed is to build the reliability element in a child which will carry
through to adulthood. In the effort to stay consistent the child will
learn that reliability can be learnt and built upon.
Another character trait that can be the byproduct of consistency is
being dependable. This then translates to the child being able to cope
with a steady amount of responsibility. Most people enjoy some sort
of guideline to live by and thus starting a child at a young age to
follow all rules and be consistent is beneficial.
Most people like to have a certain amount of rules in place to be able
to function effectively and children are no different. Rules help
everyone to work within a certain perimeter both physically as well as
mentally. With the rules in place it is then easier to be consistent
should in the reprimand action taken should there be a need for it.
Both these element put together also helps to contribute to a better
development of the child.

- 18 -
Chapter 6:
Make Special Time For Your Child
Synopsis
Today’s parents understand the need to spend more time with their
children right from a very young age. If this time is spent well it can
contribute to the betterment of the relationship between parent and
child.
Because of this realization, a lot of parent will ensure they spend
quality time with their children as often as possible. It is not always
possible but very necessary to spend quality time because this will
ensure the children and parents are given the opportunity to build a
strong bond.

- 19 -
The following are some possible recommendations
to follow:
 Alone time, practicing the one on one structure with a child is
advisable as it promotes the chance to enjoy each other’s
company exclusively. This one on one time also gives the child
the opportunity to open up and share personal issues with the
parent. Simply watching a movie together or sitting in the part
together or going for a walk together are some of the more
popular one on one styles to adopt.
 Getting a child to help and feel important and useful is also
another way to spend special time with a child. When a child
feels important and needed the bond of love and respect is
cemented for life. Though a lot of patience is needed on the part
of the adult, it is well worth the trouble. Making a child feel a
huge part of the parent life by doing physical things together is
definitely a plus point.
 There will be times when it becomes almost impossible to a lot
time for focusing on the children. When this happens, a parent
can devise innovative ways to remind the child of how special
he or she is. Among the more popular ways of doing this are a
simple text message, a note in the child’s lunch box, and a
“date” time with the parent or just a tiny gift for no particular
reason.

- 20 -
Chapter 7:
Always Set An Example
Synopsis
The famous saying; monkey see monkey do is not only a popular
thought but a very relevant one too. Children are a very
impressionable lot, thus in wanting them to do the right thing or
make the right choice an example needs to be set.

- 21 -
Show It
Teaching by example is a very effective way of getting a child to follow
willingly and happily. Being a good role model is absolutely necessary
when it comes to imparting good behavioral skills and attitudes.
Children generally learn to behave a certain way upon observing
those within their circle of daily life. If the examples set are negative
them the child will learn these negative traits and emulate them.
Therefore practicing good habits and traits are paramount in the
quest to impart the best attributes in a child.
Developing acceptable social skill is another element children pick up
from what they observe in their parents. The primary and ever
important “please and thank you” terms should be ever present in a
parent’s vocabulary if there is desire to have well mannered children.
Respecting others is another important skill a child will emulate only
by observing the example of the parent. In this process the child also
learns to value and respect other people’s opinions and actions.
Consistency and learning to do things without depending on others is
another trait that is passed from parent to child. Teaching a child to
handle one project at a time and see it to completion will only be
reinforced if the parent uses the same style. A child learns to be loving
and generous upon watching the examples of the parents or main
care givers in their daily life. This love element directly impacts the
behavioral aspects of the child. It also helps the child to understand
and appreciate the love given to him or her.

- 22 -
Chapter 8:
Don’t Dominate A Conversation
Synopsis
Children love to talk. Most times parents are more that delighted to
listen to the happy chatter. However there are also times when a
parent does not realize that he or she dominates the conversation and
thus the child does not get a chance to put forth their views and
opinions. This of course is not a good behavioral trait and should be
checked.

- 23 -
The Don’t Do
Children need to be taught at an early age to be a part of a
conversation or activity and not to dominate it. This domineering
trait is both undesirable and unhealthy. Parents are in the ideal
position to teach the child this by being a good listener. By observing
the patience and respect the parent has for the others, the child
restraint too.
By not teaching a child the follies of dominating a conversation, the
child will never learn the art of listening. Teaching a child to listen
rather than dominate a conversation will allow the child to learn to
disseminate information effectively and wisely. When one dominates
a conversation the only information going around would be from that
of the dominating party, thus no new information in learnt or
exchanged. This is not the way a child can learn new things thus it is
again vital to teach a child to always listen first rather than exercise
the need to dominate the conversation. The same concept is applied
to the parent. By dominating the conversation, the parent will not be
able to learn anything new that was going on in the child’s world.
Children need to exercise their conversational skill and the first area
this should be done is within the confines of the family unit. With the
guidance of the parents a child then learns the limits and perimeters
allowed to explore.

- 24 -
Chapter 9:
Learn To Be A Good Communicator
Synopsis
In order to be an effective adult a child needs to practice being a good
and effective communicator. This is also another skill the child will
more than likely emulate from the parent.

- 25 -
Some Suggestions
Here are some of the areas one can teach the child in the pursuit of
being a good communicator:
 Teaching the child to know what and how to communicate is
the first step towards being an effective communicator. Being
able to contribute to a conversation while being sensitive to the
other participants is also an important lesson to learn.
 The attitudes and openness taught to a child with regards to
being a good communicator is also very important. Attitudes
like respecting other opinions and attitudes in a particular
subject will not only teach the child respect but also the how to
appreciate other opinions.
 Teaching a child the importance of eye contact is also another
way to help the child stay focused. This eye contact trait is a
good way to ensure the listener and speaker are both paying
attention to what is said.
 The tone a child learns to use will eventually transcend into the
same tone that is used in adulthood. Teaching the child to be
sensitive to other in terms of the volume used in a conversation
is important as many people can be put off by very loud or very
soft tones. Furthermore is can be quite an exasperating
experience.

- 26 -
Children love the opportunity to speak openly and with abandon.
However there must be some sort of control over the tone, demeanor,
and respect exercised. When children are comfortable they will then
be able to exercise good communication skills. Thus by keeping the
lines of communication open always a child feels safe and is then able
to be a proficient communicator.

- 27 -
Chapter 10:
An Unnourished Child has A Long Road Ahead
Synopsis
Most parents strive hard to provide the best for their children,
sometimes though it is not an easy task. However, almost all parents
would willingly sacrifice for their children.

- 28 -
Important Info
From a mental point of view an unnourished child will lack the basic
interaction between parent and child, thus causing the child to be ill
equipped to face the interaction with the others.
Children who are mentally unnourished will also be unable to fend for
themselves in an environment other than the one they are used to.
Being able to hold a conversation and attention of those around
would be rather difficult.
Being spiritually deprived or unnourished has equally if not more
devastating effects. In the current world of very advanced technology
most children have lost the ability to feel and be in touch with others
and with themselves.
There is no quiet time spent in prayer or simply just sitting back and
enjoying nature. Children are constantly being pushed to be better
and thus in their quest to achieve this they have lost sight of the more
important things in life.

- 29 -
Wrapping Up
Being spiritually, mentally and physically unnourished could have far
reaching effects in the child life which will be carried through to
adulthood.
In terms of physical health an unnourished child will have many
problems. Most noticeable would be the conditions of the skin which
would most often be dry and full of uneven and scaring textures. The
eyes, teeth, and hair would be dull and lack vibrancy. The breath of a
young child should not be too strong and if it is this would indicate
the lack of water and nutritional food. The energy levels of the child
would also be below average when compared to others children of the
same age group.
