I feel sure this has been covered before so someone may be able to point me in the right direction.
If not, I'd value your input after my mum and I had a very indepth discussion about our parenting styles.
The main thing is praising children. Mum was never praised as a child unless she did really well. My mum praised big things, like doing well in exams, passing a driving test etc, but not smaller things. She didn't want me to grow up big-headed. I have trouble being confident now although its better as dh compliments me. So I have very consciously gone the other way and tell dd (and now ds) how proud I am of them, little and big compliments, and dd is so unbigheaded.
My mum still finds it hard to compliment anyone but she is getting better, due to my nagging!
On a more light-hearted note, I specifically buy dd fashionable clothes as I never had them. My first pair of jeans were home-made
There're plenty of other things but that'll do for starters.
