EDITOR ’ S PICK
• Showing personal integrity .
Live what you lecture . Be who you want ( and are asking ) them to be . Show that you are trustworthy and that you live out your truths and beliefs .
• Apologizing when you make a withdrawal . Because no one is perfect , there will be times when we do or say the wrong thing . It ’ s just human . We can repair this by sincerely apologizing to counteract the damage we ’ ve done .
When you make lots of deposits in your child ’ s emotional bank account , the relationship will thrive . Communication will be good . Your attachment will be secure . Your child will trust you , in turn giving you more authority . Children listen better and are more cooperative when their emotional bank accounts are full , and so the return is a stronger relationship and a child who is easier to parent .
