Control your anger
Parents usually try to justify treating their children badly (shouting at them, insulting them and in some cases, even hitting them for their mistakes) by saying, "That's how I was raised and I turned out alright." This kind of defense is normally used by the angry and power-hungry adult. Only emotionally irresponsible adults act in this fashion.
Always be ready to listen
This is one of the most important skills that you need to hone, if you wish to build and then sustain a meaningful, healthy and happy relationship with your child. You can win the trust and love of your child forever if you just lend an empathetic ear to your child. Never assume that children feelings are less important than those of adults.
Prioritize the relationship
Reorganize your list of priorities. Make sure your relationship with your child is there at the top of the list. When a parent focuses on relating to the child on the basis of who he/she is, rather than on what he/she should be, the bond between the two is likely to be stronger.
