Every child is born with his
quota of happiness; some are easily ecstatic, and some are tough to please.
Some children are fussier and some children are more perceptive. Whether your
child has a high level of likely happiness or a low down level, he must learn
to accept failures. Learning to accept failures would enhance their creative
spectrum and when we impulsively protect our children from failure, we dispossess
them from learning skills.
Raising children is about inculcating
traits, shaping thought process and instilling moral values. It would be rather
too direct and cumbersome to just focus about fixing the erratic sides of their
behaviors. Children, these days, are exposed to a lot of stimulus and
judgments; we must take thoughtful steps to gain acceptance from our children.
If we would try to impose our thought process over them, we may risk losing
their faith. Teaching children how to burgeon should commence with focusing on
their strengths, not their Achilles' heels.
Much of the education is not
taught; it is rather attained by own experiences. By teaching you child how to
take a failure, you are actually making him learn about the importance of
optimism. A child must be involved in a thought process where life is not
counted by achievements or setbacks; it is important for a child to learn in a
guilt free manner.
By following the dictums of Positive
psychology, the child’s strengths must be treated genuinely by the parents. It
must be kept in mind to refrain from blunt approaches; a methodical assessment
and gradual approach to impart the right stimulus would be the right thing to
do. You must not encourage answering in ‘yes’ or ‘no’; when you would attempt
to explain things to your child, you would help him to sharpen his thinking
neurons, which, in turn, would help him soar the intellectual heights.
