Children Are Like Living Sponges

Today, we are sharing with you the 5 valuable qualities that children can learn from their parents. 

We have plenty of imperfections as parents and we are just like a book where children learn the best and worst of habits from us. The way we talk to people, treat others nice or poorly and the way we react to situations, are far more powerful than the things we teach. 

Bullying, name calling, cursing, violence potentially influence your child behavior directly. Furthermore, we need to reflect ourselves that are we the complainers or we approach things rationally in different situations. 

Fortunately, we have yet to meet a parent who does not want to do a better job in raising their kids. 

So here are the 5 valuable tips for parents ~

#1 Attitude

One of the biggest challenges is to change our attitude. If we want our children to have a positive attitude, then we need to have the willingness to change and that we can be their source of wisdom.

#2 Gratitude

We want our child not to take things for granted or complain lacking of desirable things. Teach gratitude by showing gratitude and be grateful for what you have and the people around you. Gratitude goes a long way helping your child to feel more positive emotions, relish good rapport and deal with adversity A good start is to focus on an item or a person and write down the things that you like about them. 

#3 Generosity 

You have heard that generosity are able to receive more gains from the interchange. We do not mean donating money, but by prioritizing the needs of others in sharing, caring, praising and empathy. If you want your child to acquire these traits, then it is good that you practice them everyday. 

#4 Manners

Manners are the simplest way to show respect for others. At home, do you say thank you, excuse me, ask permissions or even simple actions like opening door for someone else to go in first? Avoid shouting, using foul languages or being impolite as children will think is correct to mimic the same behavior.

#5 Love yourself

How many times we say things like I am not smart or do we treat ourselves like we are not worthy? The danger of comparison can be harmful to mental health. The reality is you need to love yourself more and the confidence in you can bring your kids up confidently.
