You can develop these features of the child yourself - the parent who helps him see the beautiful part of life because today's child is tomorrow's adult. The steps are easy to follow and are applicable up to the age of 6–7 years:

1. Give them opportunities to shine!

Every child is born with a certain talent. Do you like toys, books? Do you like to draw or assemble/disassemble various things?

Strive to discover as much as possible while preoccupying the little one and do not hesitate to simulate him. Encourage him to "read" while you do your homework.

Buy them, before any other toy, books and notebooks, colored pencils, brushes, colors. Give him toys that are disassembled and assembled and let him play. If you share his enthusiasm when he is successful, your little one will catch wings and develop his innate talents and skills a lot.

2. Use your imagination!

Get involved in his game. Play with your work in the house or the park, but don't forget the old rope. Also use cubes, puzzles, lego, etc. It is important to try to improvise some simple and clear rules for all participants in the game, through which you stimulate the little one's desire to show off his imagination and competitive spirit.

The little ones fall in love with the outdoors pretty quickly, so you can stimulate their interest in cycling or rollerblade. Organized lessons: tennis, dance, swimming, acting, etc., not only help the harmonious development of the physical part but also shape the child's personality, socialization, and discipline. For imagination, thinking, concentration and, last but not least, self-control, at the age of 5 chess is very welcome.

3. Listen to him! He also has small "troubles"

Don't give him the impression that you are listening to him with half an ear, that what he says doesn't matter to you, and especially don't let him speak alone because you will hurt him. Even if you've heard those things a few times before, listen to him, keep his appearance and let him believe that what he tells you is very important.

He tells it in the utmost seriousness. Do the same. He feels that what he says and believes is just as real to you. A very good time for communication is in the evening, at bedtime. Give him all the attention he needs and nothing can stop him from being important.

4. Warn him of the dangers

Better safe than bad. The safety of the little one is an aspect that should not be neglected. There are dangers. It is good to know this as soon as possible. Explain that sometimes, even if a car doesn't seem too dangerous, it can hit it. Teach him what the colors of the traffic light are and the minimum traffic rules. Teach him not to talk to strangers, not to play with fire or at outlets.

Teach him to protect himself from the cold, that he needs to protect himself from the cold, that he needs to dress appropriately because he will get sick and will be forced, at least for a while, to endure certain restrictions. Your child's safety is also your safety.

5. Develop it independently

Let's lay the groundwork today for what will be in the future: a person who does not let himself be easily defeated, a fighter. Teach him to overcome the difficulties he encounters from an early age.

In kindergarten they have to dress and eat alone, to be subject to a minimum of discipline, and, especially, to share the toys with other children. Show her what it's like to be able to do it yourself and give her your help only when she's in need.

6. Give him as much of your free time as possible

Don't let your time spent with your child become "a rare flower." The daily speed with which you have to do as many things as possible in the shortest time, should not restrict the days spent with your child.

"Mom, can I tell you something, Daddy? Yes, son, but now I'm in a hurry!" and later, "Son, can we tell you something? Sure, but now I'm pressed for time!". 

Childhood is now in its element, so no matter what schedule you set, or set together, let him do his little "whims." They are at an age when they are still fragile and need frequent breaks and many minutes of relaxation. Create together a world of your own, a warm and balanced world, let it play freely.

He will discover for himself the right place and the right moments for relaxation, inner balance, and the feeling of freedom. Explore the wonders of nature: flowers, beetles, dew on the grass. Talk to her all the time about what you discover and create together.

7. Learn to smile together

Childhood means joy and innocence. A story, 2 songs, sprinkled from time to time with little jokes - the recipe for the goodwill that is not missing from any table. As a dessert, explore the world of fairy tales. Lustful laughter also has beneficial physical effects, the muscles of the face relax and the whole body relaxes.

This universe of children maintained with smiles and, why not, with laughter in laughter can also be your anti-stress pill. It is taken without a prescription, it has no contraindications, with safe and lasting effects.
