Do not say something to the children that you cannot fulfill. Never make an empty promise to them. If you do not have the power to realize a promise, do not promise.

If your child asks you to buy
something, consider carefully before you promise. Every word you say must be dependable, imagine the other day i was going to work and my little boy asked me to buy him a ball which i jokingly said okay i will buy but unfortunately i didn't came back home with a ball, my son was very angry crying all through the night saying that he is disappointed that i didn't buy him the ball i promised him, i had to begged him to sleep the following day i got him ball, Many parents are too good: they promise everything the children ask for, but only fulfill a few of the promises. Such empty words only disappoint the children. You should say “yes” to what you can do, “no” to what you cannot do, and “maybe” to what you are not sure of. Let your words be accurate.
