Supporting someone or something requires strength and confidence.
Support is holding something up.
Support is upholding something.
Support your child. Lift him up above you.

I have been as solicitous of my children and their needs and feelings as I could be, and in turn they have grown into generous, kind adults. |
When your child does sweet and tender things for you, don't brush her aside. Pay attention to nurturing gestures. Acknowledge them. Let your child be your hero sometimes, too.
Instead of "You're the parent, not their friend," substitute, "Be the very very best friend to them you can possibly be."
