When the child is instructed in the word of God, he will have an inner guide for life.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it .
For a child, love is equivalent to the time you spend with him.
To minimize and depersonalize a child is to kill their spirit, dreams, and creativity
If children live with criticism, they learn to live by condemning.
If the children live with hostility, they become quarrelsome.
If children live in fear, they learn to live in apprehension.
If children live with hurt, they learn to live with self-disqualification.
If children live being ridiculed, they learn to live with shame.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to live with envy.
If children live with toxic shame, they learn to live with guilt.
If children learn to live with tolerance, they will learn to be patient .
If you teach your children to live with :
Encouragment , they will be more secure.
If you validate and praise a child for his good qualities , they will have more self -appreciation and self esteem.
Acceptance they will learn to be loving .
Sharing with others they will learn generosity
Honesty and they will love the truth.
Gentleness and they will love respect .
Socialability , they will learn the world is not such a bad place.
Adapted by a poem by Dorothy Nolte PH.D.
Talk to your child as the special being God made for you . Make him feel appreciated and when he does something good praise him and when he does something bad tell him why you are correcting him and remind him again of the good he has inside.
