During the first 3 years of a child’s life, their personality traits can indicate what their future will be like. Typically, the early years shape a child’s personality as they grow up. Of course, the learning experiences and changing environment will also have an impact on the child, but the fundamental things they learn in the early years will stay with them. So when you see these characteristics in your child, try to nurture and encourage them:

Early sense of responsibility

These are the babies who apologize when they make a mistake and accept punishment. Babies with a high sense of responsibility like this will grow up to be reliable and cautious individuals, living responsibly and thinking ahead. This mindset helps them be loved and always strive to show love and share the burden of their families and help others. With this mindset, as they grow up, they will learn and progress more and deserve to be leaders who dare to take responsibility. To teach a child a sense of responsibility, parents must set a good example and apologize when they are wrong. In addition, parents cannot teach a child to take responsibility when the child knows that they will face severe punishment if they do not complete a task. Hitting, scolding, and threatening… only make the child more fearful. As a result, the child will lie and try every way to avoid responsibility. When parents guide their children on how to make decisions in a certain situation, they should teach them to take responsibility for their choices.

If your child makes a mistake, parents should explain and make them understand the consequences rather than just criticize and scold them.

Child doesn’t give up easily

When faced with a challenge, if a child perseveres, it shows that they are brave and determined babies with strong goals. This is one of the characteristics of successful people. Perseverance, aiming for goals, and resolutely fighting to win are the qualities of successful people. Giving up easily is a failure from the beginning. Perseverance and not giving up also show that the child’s mental qualities are strong, they have enough inner strength to face difficulties. You will be reassured having a child like that. On the other hand, babies who easily lose heart and give up are less confident and mentally weaker, easily disheartened and influenced negatively.

Therefore, it is necessary to encourage perseverance in your child, and when they persevere in something, praise and encourage them to continue to cultivate this determination. In the family, parents should also be persevering.

Child enjoys challenging themselves and experiencing new things

Babies who enjoy challenging themselves and experiencing new things will have a deeper understanding and knowledge of life compared to babies who are reluctant to experience and only live in safety. Experience is the way to increase awareness and gain experience, from which they develop resilience, willpower, and understanding. So if your child likes to try anything, it means they have potential, so create opportunities to support them in their experiences. At this time, parents should not hinder them but encourage them to do reasonable things.

Absolutely do not hinder your child with words like “what good does that do, what does it contribute to your life…?” Any experience teaches valuable lessons as long as it is healthy and does not harm the child, and leads them astray.

Many parents only focus on their child’s academic achievements and neglect their everyday experiences. But you should know that everyday experiences are valuable because they help your child become a knowledgeable and practical experienced child, not just like industrially farmed chickens learning from books. So even experiencing with your child is extremely interesting, it can be a unique opportunity for you to renew your life and have a better connection with your child, and even experiences with your child can teach you better life lessons.
