“No” must be part of your vocabulary
Imposing “no” on your child will not make you a tyrannical or authoritarian parent. Your offspring, to live peacefully, must know the principle of limits and authority. So, if you want to say “no”, don’t feel guilty and do it calmly and with empathy and stick to it.
Teach your child the concept of giving
Don’t think that what defines your child is what he has. The first thing you need to bring is values and not material. Think about his future. It is better that he learns solidarity and sharing than having the latest PlayStation.

Gratitude will make your little one more reasonable
Model gratitude in your home. Take time to show your offspring how lucky they are. Ask him to tell you about his day and explain in a caring way that he can be grateful to have these experiences every day.
Make him curious about others
