Here are some facts about children that will help you in understanding the nature and character of children while raising them:
1. A child's 'psychological' needs is more important than a child's 'material' needs. These two should be distinctly handled one shouldn't overlap.
2. The subconscious mind of a child is more "active" than the consciousness of an adult. reason why they learn things you can never imagine or things you never taught them. How? They are very smart compared to their age; It is not by age!
3. Children love gifts; they are the world's best lovers of gifts. Always get it for them if you can.
4. Their obedience and allegiance can be bought with cash, gifts and affection. (naturally children develop soft spots for anybody they get these three for them, including strangers!)
5. Children adores adventure and funfair: Don't deny them these, for they are contributing factors that help them realize their potentials early. Free them! give them the privilege to play with their friends and mates, allow them to go for holidays, make the arrangements for them. It mustn't necessarily be abroad. There are numerous benefits of outdoor play.

Dear Parents be conscious of the manner in which you talk and act in front of your children. If you are vulgar or vain in talks, you don't censor what you say at home in the presence of your kids or over the phone, then you need to amend your ways or get ready for a call from their school management someday, when they must have exhibited or demonstrated an advanced version of your lifestyle in a grand style.
Always model positive attitudes and behaviours for them to emulate.
