2. Although punishment is required at times, but, it should be minimum and the best way to punish is to deprive the child from some privilege. Child will not learn from scolding, beating or ridiculing.

3. Parents should show a consistent behaviour, child should be given a clear and fixed instruction & then the parents should stick to these instructions.

5. Unrealistic expectations should be avoided. Every child can’t maintain first position in the class, must be remembered by the parents.

6. Parents should never shout or shriek at their children for small issues. Instead child should be taken in a separate room and told firmly about his misconduct and that he will not be allowed to cross the norms.
