As parents, we all want our children to grow up healthy, obedient, and resilient. In every difficulty, children also need to be strong and resilient even when their parents are not around. Therefore, there are things that parents need to teach their children from an early age so that they will grow up to be outstanding and resilient individuals.
Parents should let their children take responsibility for their mistakes
We all make mistakes to varying degrees, and of course, children are no exception. But besides strict parenting to teach children to learn from their mistakes, there are also many parents who spoil their children and overlook their mistakes. This is one of the biggest mistakes that parents can make, which affects the future of their children.
From a young age, you need to teach your child to take responsibility for their actions. When something bad happens, your child needs to face reality instead of saying “if only”. They should not blame the circumstances or anyone else but should first look at themselves. If they make a mistake, they need to learn from it and avoid repeating the same mistake in the future.
Mistakes happen frequently, but not everyone is introspective before blaming others. Therefore, parents should be a shining example for their children and take the issue seriously, so that children know how to properly assess problems.
According to criminal and child psychology experts, the ages of 3-6 are important stages in the formation of a child’s personality. Children over 12 years old will be more difficult to manage because they are no longer as naive as when they were young. Therefore, parents need to get rid of the mindset that “children do not know anything” and educate their children from an early age.
Let children participate in household chores from an early age
Every parent wants to give their child the best and fullest life possible. Because they spoil their children too much, parents often shield them and do everything for them, not allowing them to get involved in anything. This is a big mistake.
We surely remember the story of the 17-year-old prodigy Wei Yong Khang who was admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences with outstanding results before finishing high school.
In theory, a student with such high achievements would be a partner and the main training course of the school, but prodigy Wei Yong Khang was fired before he could graduate. The reason for his dismissal surprised many: his ability to take care of himself was too poor.
The ultimate purpose of education is to make children have a better life. Therefore, parents need to teach their children how to do household chores and develop self-care skills.
Through chores, children will learn many lessons in life and also learn to love work, cultivate qualities, and develop skills that they can use throughout their lives.
Cultivate diligent learning in children
Education is not the only path to success, but it is essential for personal growth. With high, extensive learning abilities, we will have more opportunities in the future.
For that reason, parents should be strict with their children in terms of academics. From a young age, instill in your child the habit of reading, learning about knowledge in school as well as in society. Give them motivation and excitement so that they become active learners.
Of course, you should arrange a reasonable study and rest schedule for your child so that they do not feel pressured. Create a love for learning, discover useful knowledge instead of forcing them.
