1. Don't say they can't do something that is good. If a child decides she wants to write a novel, let her try to.
2. Make suggestions, then let them figure it out themselves. Children can be very intelligent, so you don't need to hold their hand through every step.
3. Help when they get stuck. If a child gets to a point where they cannot continue despite their best attempts to, then help them with the problem.
4. If they are interested in what you are doing, then answer their questions.
5. When they succeed, celebrate with them.
6. If they fail, help them to understand that this does not mean they need to give up.
7. When they feel down, help to bring a smile to their face.
8. When possible, enjoy a quiet moment with them.
9. Make sure they understand that you can help them whenever they ask for it.
10. Help them to gain confidence in themselves.
