The most important parenting tip I could give you is this:

You have to make yourself available to your child through the ups and downs of life without judgment, criticism, or anger. They must believe that you will actively listen, and offer your support, guidance, love and wisdom at all times so they will come to you when things feel difficult, embarrassing or scary.
