Parenting – A tough Task
Posted by admin
Most parents want the best for their child, as I do. How about You? Won’t you hope that your child will make every effort to do the best in school, outside activities, and in life? Won’t you expect your child to draw inspiration from you? Won’t you want your child to grow up to be a responsible person who is trustworthy and respected? Won’t you expect your child to have decency? Of course, you do!
As you and I do, most parents don’t want their child to get involved in drugs or alcohol, suffer from depression, join a gang, or become caught up in other self-destructive behaviors. They wish for their child to be self-caring. They want their child to be certain, positive, and triumphant. They want their child to have healthy & plentiful self-esteem.
What many adults, teachers, and parents need to become conscious of is that in order to help a child become motivated, decent, self-caring, and esteemed, the adults in the child’s life have to focus on promoting, supporting, and growing the child’s self-esteem.
Children, like adults, will make accountable decisions, protect themselves from harm, and work to achieve their potential only if they have a strong brains of self-esteem and self-value. Children, like adults, respond poorly to disparagement of their character, of who they are. They respond much better to objective, non-critical criticism about their behaviors. Children, like adults with high self-esteem, logically choose to act in ways that will lead to positive rather than negative outcomes.
