Parenting - What I Learned

I completed a very informative and very effective Parenting Workshop in last two months. I learned something I already knew and somethings that I didnt knew.
I would like to share each things one by one with my own experience.
The first Day of workshop and the first technique : Listen to your child with full attention.
Simple.
And As Simple , as effective.
I would listen to Yashvi (my almost 3 year old) sometimes with full attention, but somethimes with half attention - while I am cooking, cleaning, watching TV.
In response, she would also not listen to me when she is playing.

When I started listening to her, she in turn started listening to me.
We have set a rule of communication : When some one speakes to you, look at them. And it works both ways.
Now I dont have to shout again and again when I want her attention.  And I get to hear lot more stories. I get to enter her wonderful world where every thing is so beautiful and enjoyable.

And one basic thing I learned in this workshop : Children are your mirrors (with magnification of atleast 10 times may be more) . So you do good things, they do good things times 10. You behave bad, they behave bad times ten.
