• Don’t spoil them on money. Give them, but not much and not unlimited. It’s better to give their exact things that they need than to give money.
• As a parent, they still needed your guidance and advice. And know their activities. If you feel they do something wrong. Survey it. Discover it.
• Prepares them to solve real life problems.They won't develop the problem solving skills of negotiation in a way that empowers them.
• Understand your child in all gradual gains in power. They are really rungs on a ladder that leads to independent functioning, or adulthood. and help them to get along with other people and how to live the right values.
