Support Rules

When providing support, keep track of the presence of contact and real results. We can want anything, but our main controller is not intentions, but results. Rules: To each his own. We combine support with exactingness. If there is a task of strengthening and developing the personality, the long-term guideline is a male approach. We give situationally, not constantly. Support should help the person cope with the situation on their own. Support — worthy and strong. See →
