Giving Kids the Power To Achieve Their Dreams
Whatever your child’s talents, you can make them feel loved and consequently have the power to do anything they desire. This involves focussing on your interaction and individual bond with your youngster, the language you use, the love you demonstrate, the trust and responsibility you let them have, and just being happy with the child whatever their likes and dislikes, and whoever they are. The way we think influences how we feel, our sense of worth and our acomplishments. I am positive many of us can recall times when we had a notion, like for instance, “I am positive I will let the side down yet again”, and then, true to our thought, we do just that. So being conditioned to have positive thoughts instead of negative can make all the difference to us achieving our goals, and yet when a child is good at something, they can accomplish so much more and even be the best, if they believe they
are capable of it. So how can we promote such a belief in our child? 1. Our language is very potent. Children respond tremendously to positive praise when they do something good, but equally as important is your readiness to look past the stuff they don’t do so great. Make sure you look for, draw upon and build upon, the best, rather than the weaknesses in your child. 2. Express your love to your children, no matter how old they are. As they become a teenager, this is something we may not do often enough. You must let them know you love them – it is your close, trusting and secure relationship with them that is the powerful foundation on which they can build, and achieve, anything in their great life. 3. We’ve all met the over-zealous parent who pushes their child to be good at heaps of things, to do their best in absolutely everything, and have high standards. It’s best for kids to know, however, that they do not have to be the best at absolutely every thing, and that they know their limitations. A youngster who feels they have to be something they are not, will feel dispirted and not a success. 4. From an early age, support your children to be independent, doing things for themselves, starting with the tinyest of tasks like hanging their hat up, right up to running errands and finding a job. Giving children responsibility gives them power and the knowledge that you consider them to be trustworthy and responsible. If you are always coming from a position of distrust and little confidence in their abilities, then they will act accordingly. 5. If a child wants to do something for themself, then let him (within reasons of safety, of course). Unless you can find a compelling expaination not to, always say ‘yes’ to their eagerness and keeness in doing things for themselves. It shows that you believe in your child and gives them the confidence to try new things. Have you noticed that when you are happy, other people smile at you? It’s because of the way you are feeling on the inside that shows on the outside, even if you are not aware of it yourself. What you feel on the inside is projected outwards from you. The same as, in order to love other people and give love, you must first love yourself. Being happy and having a fantastic outlook and selfesteem are more important than anything else because they are the nitty-gritty on which we and our kids can build in order to do and accomplish anything in our life, for that reason to be successful in business, education or anything, we must be capable to build relationships with others. So instead of worrying about what your child is able to achieve or not achieve, concentrate on your interaction and individual bond with your child. Children will always have their strengths and weaknesses, be particularly gifted in certain things, and confusingly awkward and slow in others. Whatever their talents, you can make your child feel loved and therefore capable in anything they desire to do. |
