Outstanding Child

It is important that every child has an advocate in their parents; and it is understandable that every parent will want to defend their child. But, there is a need for balance; a time to speak up and a time to refrain from speaking and to listen, etc.

Is your child teachable? Grooming a child to be outstanding in the future cannot be done solemnly by the parent. At every stage of your child’s life, he/she will meet people who will help in teaching, coaching to be a better person. Parents responsibility is to groom your child to have a teachable heart.

Affirmations are spoken or written words that confirms, support and uplift one in a positive way. As parent, you can from time to time reaffirm yourself with these words.

As parents, we can help nurture our child self esteem and raise if it low by making the child feels capable, praising the child’s achievement, focusing on strengths and not weaknesses.

The teenage years are not only filled with pleasant memories, for some, there are challenges of self discovery. So as parents we should validate our children constantly. Parents should be the go- to person in the lives of their children.

Irrespective of the situation or circumstances you go through as a parent, positively confessing what you want to see in your child’s life until it becomes a reality.

Words are powerful, so as parents or expecting parents we should always confess positively into our children lives.
