Your kid sometimes will be having game, playing, sport contest or anything in the school. So, you are as a parent always telling your kid that for you that is does not matter if your kid wins. But, what’s important is that your kid would give the best in the contest and if kid gave best and looses, still the champion. But, if kid wins and did not give the best, would he/she feel happy and would deserve the title?
How you encourage your kids?
First step:
Parents should ask what do you hope to achieve by sending your kids to school? Do you aim to make a status statement each time your kids step out in their pretty school uniforms, board their air-conditioned bus to head to/return from their classy school? Or is your intention to have them equipped with the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to make a success of their own lives adults?
High fees and pretty school buildings do not guarantee your child a high quality education so impact to character also encourage. It includes being conversant with what it takes to do more than just survive in the real world.
We were particularly glad they did not succeed, because the resultant live cat would have been so grotesque, and its looks would probably have caused visiting friends/relatives to have nightmares. But let’s not loose sight of the point being made - kids have so much capacity of believe and to display such belief and wonder without embarrassment.
Any schooling they are exposed to must be checked to ensure it does not kill this quality in any child. The problem is most schooling systems out here teach kids to be the opposite of what I have described above.
The best gift you can give your child is the ability to think for him/her. Make sure you send him/her to a school that does not “kill” that instinct/ability.
Second step:
Try to practice how to give the best encouragement. Tell to your kids that whatever she/he what to do can do it, winning is not really target but happiness is. You have to encourage kids no matter what and make them think that they are winners anyway, you are doing a good job of it and me admire you for it, if I had kids I would do the same thing as you.
I think what you tell him is really encouraging, just make sure also that you are present in his/her contest. And after that treat her/him in a restaurant for a job well done, not all kids can do what he/she did and tell us about the contest. Good luck!
