If all requests are granted then the child will be a spoiled person. Fulfill the child's demand at a reasonable level. Do not obey too many unnecessary things.

Never let your child do mistakes. Do not take the usual mistakes. Although you are very fond of your child but if he made a mistake then he should be punished. Punishment here need not be heavy, enough to distinguish that he has made a mistake. Punishment is necessary to make him realize that he is wrong and not to repeat the mistake.Selfish

The child's life is in his own hands. It's fitting as our parents just directing it. His life will one day be in his own hands. Because it is too prohibited also good tibak. Teach him to tell what is good and what is bad. And let him choose. If the choice is wrong then give him an understanding of it. Do not just forbid for no reason. If the child is forbidden then he will be more curious.Give an example
Basically character education is not only theorized or reveals the way. Character education is the attitude and the real thing. It does not come immediately but through a long process. Therefore character education must be a long and an example. Give children a good attitude. Start with small things. Hopefully future generations are better.
