Good - Things you should do for your children

Introduction

How do children portray themselves?

How do they negotiate with the world? One of the biggest differences between winners and losers is that winners believe in themselves and see themselves as worthy of belonging to the community of winners.

Helping children develop a positive self-image and self-love is one of the greatest gifts any parent can receive. Self-esteem and self-worth are the keys to a successful life.

There are no perfect parents in the world. But parents, no matter what their family background, can find ways to help their children learn to respect and accept themselves. They can also help their children believe that they are capable of facing life as individuals.

Low self-esteem in children is not something they do themselves. It's something they learn from adults, especially their parents.

Working with thousands of families in three major school systems in two separate countries, I began to learn firsthand the power of good parenting.

The work we do to make the greatest impact on children's lives is to enrich their experiences.

To help children see, not be ashamed of making mistakes, and develop a sense of pride in their current situation.

Help them see themselves as capable of succeeding in life and school, as unique, special, and important.

We will achieve the above points as much as we can.

Raising children well can help you do more than just raise them. The practical ideas presented in this little book will help any parent raise their children to become successful adults. The simple information and practices of empowerment and encouragement presented here have worked for many families, and they will work for you too.

No parent can do everything right. But remember that there are many things that any parent can do to build their child's self-esteem and focus. By being caring, gentle, listening, and taking their child seriously, you can instill self-esteem in your child and help them become successful people.

The following suggestions will help you get started on your journey.

As a parent who loves their child, why not start this journey right away?

Note: The recommendations presented here are divided into five age groups: (1) Newborn, (2) Preschool, (3) Elementary, (4) Middle, and (5) High School and Above.

1. Treat your child properly. Don't call them crazy, funny, or short names. They will be a source of embarrassment for your child for the rest of their life.

2. Give your child a hug every day.

3. Keep your eyes bright and clear for your child.

4. Don't expect a child to have patience, logic, self-control, and other magical qualities.

5. Sometimes, if there is a conflict between work and family, choose family.

6. Don't waste too much time raising your child on "if onlys" and "if onlys."

7. Listen carefully to what your child is saying. Don't interrupt before he or she has finished speaking. Pay attention to every word he or she says and value the feelings behind the words. Real listening is much more than just waiting for your turn to speak.

8. No need to worry about your hair getting messy or your clothes getting wrinkled when you need to comfort your baby.

9. Show your child helpful ways to calm down.

10. Make birthdays special and memorable. They are known for their obsession with the gift of a new life.

11. Don't expect to learn every lesson you ask for right away.

12. Spend more time outdoors with your baby. Breathing fresh air helps your baby's body, mind, and brain grow and develop.

13. Listen to your child's scary nightmares.

14. Show respect for your child's favorite toys.

15. Don't spend the day arguing with your child.

16. Accept that you are not a perfect parent. This will reduce the pressure on you and your child.

17. Don't always bring work home. It will make you feel like your work is more important than your family.

18. Realize that sometimes your child is yelling and fussing for a good reason, and sometimes it's just a test.

19. Understand that even the most innocent children can sometimes feel heartbroken.

20. Always give your child a second chance.

21. He's still so young that he'll interfere with whatever you do. Just put him to bed every night.

22. Don't hold your child's age hostage to how "normal" he or she should be, just like every other child.
