                  1. Talk with your child about respecting others. Encourage him to help people in need.
                    1. Help your child set her own achievable goals-she'll learn to take pride in herself and rely less on approval or rewards from others.
                      1. Help your child learn patience by letting others go first or by finishing a task before going out to play.. Encourage him to think about possible consequences before acting
                        1. Make clear rules and stick to them, such as how long your child can watch TV or when she has to go to bed. Be clear about what behavior is okay and what is not okey

                            1. Get involved with your child's school. Meet the teachers and staff and get to understand their learning goals and how you and the school can work together to help your child do well.
                              1. Use discipline to guide and protect your child, rather than punishment to make him feel bad about himself. follow up an discussion about what not to do with a discussion of what to do instead
                                1. Praise your child for good behavior. It's best to focus praise more on what your child does ("you worked hard to figure this out") than on traits she can't change ("your are smart")
                                  1. Encourage your child to join school and community groups, such as a team sports, or to take advantage of volunteer opportunities.
            2. CHILD SAFETY FIRST

                1. Teach your child to watch out for traffic and how to be safe when walking to school, riding a bike, and playing outside.
                  1. Make sure your child understand water safety, and always supervise her when she's swimming or playing near water.

              2. HEALTHY BODIES
                1. Parents can help make schools healthier. Work with your child's school to limit access to foods and drinks with added sugar, solid fat, and salt that can be purchased outside the school lunch program.
                  1. Make sure your child has 1 hour or more of physical activity each day
                    1. Limit screen time for your child to no more than 1 to 2 hours per day of quality programming at home, school, or afterschool care.
