Invest in your child’s education.
If you want your child to reach their maximum potential then you need to make sure that you are investing in their education. Scientists can directly link education to wealth and happiness. Children who grow up ill educated end up not making the same money nor having the same level of happiness as children who grow up going to good schools. Don’t assume that the nearby public school is a perfect fit. Do the research. If a private school offers better incentives then try and make enough money to let them go there. The education you give them early on in their life will be the tools that they use to better their own life in the future. This isn’t to say that they shouldn’t go to public school, either. Selecting a school is also not the only way to invest in your child’s education. Pay for learning materials to take home as well as extra activities that your child can engage in.

Create a cycle of positive feedback.
No matter how many online classes you take, or what online college degree you accrue, there is nothing more important than your ability to be a positive presence in your child’s life. When you are positive with your child you are telling them that they are on the right track at least in some ways. This re-assurance goes a long way toward steadying anxiety, calming nerves, and creating a kid that can be confident and happy all at once. Now, this doesn’t mean that you have to avoid pointing out negative things, such as your child’s misbehavior, but it does mean that you should focus on the good in their life first and foremost. In fact, spread this cycle of positivity to all aspects of your life and you are bound to see dramatic improvements.
