Take this opportunity to be a role model for your child.
Think back to the role models in your life: Who were they? Maybe they were your parents. Take this opportunity to be a role model for your child. Younger children are impressionable, and they mimic everything. Model behaviors like respect, kindness, tolerance, friendliness, honesty, and selflessness. The golden rule “treat others the way you want to be treated” applies very well in this instance.
