Development of Children through Positive Parenting

Every parent was a child at one time. Each of us has heard the words of others, picked up their suggestions and made them into beliefs. Some of those beliefs have been helpful, many may have placed limits on us based on the source. A parent's role in children's development is as effective as the thoughts, words, feelings and actions given to children.

 

Psychologists have known for some time how children develop. Children are like sponges.  They absorb so much from their environment, even before they begin talking.  What they learn and experience at a very young age may not be remembered by their conscious minds, but the feelings and self-talk becomes embedded in who they are and what they believe about themselves.

 

The social development of children is a natural concern for every parent. (include snippet from the page)

 

The idea of using positive affirmations for your child development strategy is to instill a strong sense of self and a positive sense of worth for him or her to draw on at anytime.  It also teaches him or her to use optimistic thought patterns and have a bright outlook.  You can personalize your child’s affirmations depending on how old he or she is and his or her particular hobbies and personality. 

 

One of the major challenges that parents face is controlling factors influencing children behavior. (include snippet from this page.)

 

Written affirmations based on the "I Treasure You" approach work best for building family esteem when children are able to read and understand the words. Therefore, a written note should contain words that the child or teen can understand. A second grader's vocabulary will be different from that of a six grader or a teenager. Each age has its own needs for encouragement, love and support. Think of an "I Treasure You" note like a spoken compliment that is written down. If you talk to your children on their level, then write down those same words in a note that they can read and keep.
