As a parent, we are also in a situation where we have to be in control and stay calm whenever possible. Let’s surround our children with a positive uplifting and stirring environment.
These three tips may strengthen our children to be positive in life. First, praise personal achievement and good behavior of our children in the right way. Presenting praise in honest and genuine on the effort, and not the outcome of the performance of our children. It means that we are recognizing their hard work, for instance in cleaning our backyard, cooking our dinner or completing an assignment. Whatever the scenario is, praise must be in proportionate fitting the accomplishment that children made. Give praise when our children done something special that's out of the ordinary. This feeling that they have already accomplished wonderful things develop to a leading positive attitude, with a happy goal. Second, be a motivator and an encourager parent, we flourish our children in their own unique way, guiding and supporting them to do what they love, creates an environment that boost their passion in life. Be with our children in an hour, if they like to draw, play scrabble and puzzle, play online together as long as we give limitations. From this productive time, with a positive environment, children are inspired to look and move forward with optimistic awareness of thinking positive and to others as well. Lastly, connect with our children, ask them about positive things or events happen within the family. When we invest time in our children, they will feel important, loved and deepen our connections that makes a heathy relationship which create a strong impact in developing and staying focus in their positive experiences, that is one the cornerstone to develop positivity in our children’s journey in life.
