Case Studies


Every parent wants the best for their child’s future. Sometimes when our workload increases and we can’t give them enough time, we get worried. Sometimes we even go back to reading child-rearing books to see what can we teach them to enhance their future. So if you are one of them, ditch those books as we have found some handy tips that can prepare your child to be a better adult in the future.

 

Start With Yourself

It is no surprise when we hear that a happy and stress-free life can make you a better businessman, healthy person and be a good company. Children too benefit immensely from such parents. Children with happy parents, tend to be happy themselves. When they see commotion and arguments at home, they too tend to be negative and become rude. Spend some quality family time with your children. Learn to speak to them softly and respect them. Respond to them when they ask you questions. When you instill this gentle behavior in them from the beginning, they too will reciprocate this in their social skills as adults. 


Educate them at an Early Age


The first five years of your child are the most formative years. Enrolling your child in Child Care or Early Learning center will encourage our child to start reading and writing earlier. Caregivers at childcare centers are experts in introducing your child to the world of education. They will also learn math skills at a young age which will help develop their analytical skills. Encourage reading at home too by reading out stories to them at bedtime. Adding a little bit of animated fun will make them more interested. Early literacy can help predict future mastery of literacy. 


Choose a Good Neighborhood


Believe it or not, a good neighborhood can have a positive impact on your child’s future. Not only will it assure good child care, schools but also they will grow with peers who have the same good values instilled in them. Safe and respectable neighborhoods are probably the most important factor for your child’s development. Friendly neighbors will help your child to learn empathy where one person helps the other just out of kindness. Outdoor activities with other children will be safe and keep them away from any addictions. 


Involve them In Chores

This is the best way to make them independent and responsible for themselves. It doesn’t mean to make the child do all the chores but rather to involve them in the chores so they can do a small part. They will learn the value of hard work every day and also get a sense of contentment. Also, coordinated chores where one washes the dishes and the other dry will teach them how to be a team player.



Praise Or Correct Them When Needed


Praising kids for when they perform in some area well, will help them boost their confidence. This will in turn also invokes the sense of better performance next time as they will be happy to get praise from their parents. This also mean you acknowledge the hard work put in by your child and are expressing your gratitude. It encourages a growth mindset. In case they make any mistake, correct them by thoroughly explaining to them the consequences of their actions. Be patient with them so they too can be patient as adults. 


Being kind to your child and expecting them to do well is what every parent wants. It is still a long and slow process. If you are too hard on them, you will end up having a negative impact. So take it slow and you will too eventually see the result positively reflecting in your child.
