del.icio.usPositive Inputs For Children
Children need positive inputs from adults, as these inputs will then greatly impact their future. They depend on the adults around them for 'positive leadership'.
As responsible adults, parents need to set good examples every day although they face various challenges themselves.
Some parents feel that their children need to be able to feel the disappointment because of their own wrong choices. This is so that they will self correct next time. This is actually a form of 'positive' punishment. Parents enforcing a 'positive' punishment will not try to correct their children's faults.
Children need 'positive' encouragements when they make progress in their learning process. Supportive parents know that this will help their children to be optismis.
Positive inputs does not spoil a child. It helps the child to grow well physically, mentally and spiritually.
Honesty
Parents need to be honest in their daily actions
when teaching children about honesty.
Children observe closely what their parents do!
Acceptance
All children like to be noticed by adults.
All they want is an acceptance of who they are.
Socializing At A Tender age
Parents believe that children will learn better if they are sent to nurseries at an earlier age. This maybe true. However, all children are not the same. Some are ready to socialize, yet some are not.
A child who is not ready will show all sorts of unwillingness such as wailing aloud and throwing toys before going to the nursery. Parents will only think that the child is spoiled. The more force is used to take him/her there, the more the child will resist.
Suggested solution:
Spend some time with your child at the nursery. Encourage him/her to befriend other children too. Encourage other children to share toys with your child. Then, encourage them to play with your child. Some parents brought along some tit-bits for other children as a way to 'bribe' them to play with their own children.
Young children have the fear that their parents will leave them. So, parents need to assure them that they are always around. Spend the day with them if necessary. Introduce them to their teachers or caretakers. Help them to get familiarize with the place. share with them the new experience.
Do not leave your child alone under the care of others, not even a trusted relative on the first few days. Unless your child is familiarized with the new surrounding, you will need to be there.This is so to give your child the emotional support he needs.
