11. Eliminate Criticism and Minimize Mistakes When we pay constant attention to mistakes, we discourage our children. We cannot build on weakness - only on strength... We are constantly correcting, constantly admonishing. Such an approach shows lack of faith in our children; it is humiliating and discouraging.... Making a mistake is not nearly as important as what we do about it afterward... If we want a child to overcome a fault, we must discover the purpose behind the behavior, then, without talking about it at all, act in such a way that the purpose is no longer fulfilled. Most of the time this action on our part consists of not acting, of failing to respond, of avoiding our first impulse. 12. Maintain Routine ... social integration and self-sufficiency are the goals of parental guidance.
