If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause great damage to him According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fail Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to the children
However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well especially if the parents are very supportive of their children

In your life, you have many relationships: with family members (such as your parents, siblings and children), friends, and maybe romantic partners Relationships can be very good for our health Safe and healthy relationships give people a sense of support, connection, trust and respect
Even healthy relationships can be challenging and cause us stress sometimes We won’t always agree with each other or see things the same way But if we respect each other and work to have good communication,
we can understand each other better and make our relationships even stronger
In this lesson, we will talk about how to keep your relationships healthy, by communicating honestly and resolving conflict in respectful ways, for example
Respect is the foundation of safe and healthy relationships: both partners must respect each other Respect means believing that the other person deserves to be treated well, simply because they are a person When you respect someone, you know they have the right to make decisions and live their own life Mutual respect allows people to become true partners, listening to each other, appreciating each other’s strengths, and finding compromises that work for both people
Communication is also essential to healthy relationships You and your partner should be honest with each other and be able to speak freely and openly about your thoughts and feelings It’s easier to communicate honestly when you feel secure and comfortable in a relationship—when you trust that your partner accepts you as you are and values your partnership In a healthy relationship, your partner is interested
in what you think and feel
