Building self-esteem is essential for their early development. Trying new things is also important and that's the way how they discover the world around them. They will have a different approach toward basically everything. We adults can not compete with their creativity and curiosity. They need encouragement and they have to know, feel and sense that the parents are there for them whenever they need them. There are many great advice in this article and probably one of the most important is: Listening. Everybody wants to talk, but very few are listening. Let your kids talk. Ask their opinion about everything. Ask them how they would do certain things. How they'd do it differently. They will come up with ideas you have never thought of. Let them smile throughout the day, that's the best you can do. That’s so true that you always have to focus on your children’s strengths and qualities instead of dwelling on their mistakes.

I worry as my son is very shy. I have to keep reminding myself he is 19 months old and has every right to be wary of new experiences. Plus I have to stop comparing him to others. We hug and kiss all the time. Yesterday I had the best experience. I was putting my son in his high chair bending over doing the straps up when he got hold of my face, pulled me close and kissed me. Showing him I love him definitely has benefits!!! Thank you for this. I worry as my son is very shy.
