We can achieve nothing if fear is instilled within us. Fear kills ambition, dreams and even the slight chances of progress is the wisest message the
Bhagavad Gita gives us. The Foremost thing that Today's Parents are concerned about is how to build confidence in their child. well, In my contention ,
self-esteem is your child's passport to a lifetime of mental health and social happiness. It's the foundation of a child's well-being and the key to success as an adult. The secret of my high confidence is that Since childhood my morning begins with reciting a poem
"Itni shakti hamen dena daata, Mann ka vishwaas Kamajor ho na, Ham chale nek raste pe hamase, Bhulkar bhi koi bhul ho na".
Swami vivekananda was 8 years old when this incident happened. He loved to Dangle head down from a champak tree in his friends compound. One day he was climbing the tree and an old man approached him not to climb the tree. The old man was probably scared that swami could fall and break his limbs or was just being protective about champaka flowers. The old man told him that there was a ghost living on the tree if he climbed the tree again. Swami nodded and the old man walked away. The not so convinced 8 year old climbed the tree again, all of his friends were scared and asked him why he was doing it despite knowing that he would be hurt; he laughed and said 'what a silly fellow you are! Don't believe everything just because someone tells you! If the old grandfather's story was true then my neck would have broken long ago'. And this was Swamiji as a young boy.
BOLD and FEARLESS with an exceptionally strong common sense!
Good Job! Well Done! I really like what you are doing, keep up the Good work.
How many of you use such phrases for your child everyday? certainly any.
I believe, Parents are the main source of a child's sense of self-worth. To illustrate,
Geeta Phogat
(who was born to a renowned Indian wrestler, Mahavir Singh Phogat . Her father left his job just to concentrate in training her and Babita for the commonwealth Games. In 2010 Commonwealth Games, she became the first Indian women wrestler to win a gold medal, in the 55kg ) .This kind of nurturing cements together the blocks of self-worth. The earlier the cement is applied, the smoother it goes on and stronger it sticks.
If you raise a confident child that grows up with a healthy self-worth, it means they have a realistic understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, enjoying the strengths and working on the problem areas. Because there is such a strong parallel between how your child feels about himself and how he acts, it is vital to discipline to raise a confident child. Throughout life your child will be exposed to positive influences (builders) and negative influences (breakers). Parents can expose their child to more builders and help him work through the breakers.
children need jobs. One of the main ways children develop their self- confidence and internalize values is through helping maintain the family living area, inside and out. Raise a confident child by giving them household duties. This helps them feel more valuable and channels their energy into desirable behavior and teaching skills.
planting a garden teaches children that they reap what they sow. water the plants and they grow nicely, Keep the weeds away and flowers bloom better.
Another surefire way to boost confidence in Kids is to encourage them to take on tasks they show interest in , then make sure they follow through to completion. It does not matter what the task - it could be anything from swimming laps to participating in any kind of competitions . The point is for them to stick with what they start , so they feel that hit of accomplishment at the end. In my experience, children react favorably to receiving praise for going above and beyond- naturally , anyone does. However, its even more important to show children that extra effort will yield benefits in order to instill the idea within them that they are acceptable of greatness and that hard work pays dividents.
Man is destined to face challenges in life. Life is not a bed of roses. Obstacles and difficulties sre bound to come in the way. All desire for success. However, everybody doesn't succeed in achieving his goals. Failures are a part of our lives. But one who keeps on striving is crowned with success, eventually. Always remember "Failures are the pillars of success"
To brief, Love your child, Give praise where praise is due, Help your child set realistic goals, Model self-love and positive self-talk, Teach resilience, Instill Independence and adventure, Encourage sports and other activities, Support their pursuit of passion, set rules and be consistent.
