I think:
Love - loving them for who they are
Honesty - with them and with yourself. Show them genuine feeling and who you are as a person.
Kindness - Give them boundaries but give them kindly. Kids dont hear better just because you yell
Empathy - Understanding of who your child is, what they feel and what they need
Time - Spend time interacting with them so you share their journey through childhood
ps This is just a general comment and not directed at you and your parenting I am sure you are a great mum!
