Have Conversations About Expectations
It is important to be explicit when it comes to your expectations of your child/children. It might be easy to assume that they should simply know what is expected of them but doing so is a big mistake. This is equally important when children are young as when they are older, although for many parents these discussions get shorter and shorter as the child ages. These misunderstandings of what is expected can often lead to conflict and resentment on both sides.
