Our kiddos are bombarded with so much. With all my kiddos in school, they are now facing the challenge of expressing themselves. And let me tell you, if we don't help our children with communication, we are going to have a generational gap that is going to tear each other up. And you're already seeing that nowadays.
Building those minds that learn what matters early in life, and then can be able to express themselves with respect for others, makes for a dynamite child.
So if you are ready to take advantage of those once in a blue moon moments, raise your children higher.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Raise your children higher!1. Teach with Current Examples
In order to cultivate a growth mindset and expand what they don't see, you want to encourage your child to view challenges as opportunities for growth. Emphasize the importance of effort, resilience, and learning from mistakes. Intertwine current events (what they can understand and associate with), so they can see how personal growth happens for everyone. [Thomas Edison failed numerous times before inventing the light bulb, or how J.K. Rowling faced rejection before becoming a bestselling author.]
Share personal stories or inspirational anecdotes to exemplify how setbacks can lead to personal growth. As Philippians 4:13 states, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Remind them that with determination and faith, they can overcome any obstacle.
2. Teach with Compassion and Empathy
Open their hearts to understand more than what they can see (or feel). Help them express themselves in a way that brings comfort to their growing selves, and then, being able to understand someone else's position without dragging them through the mud.
3. Teach Critical Thinking
Who thinks for themselves today? Not very many. All the more reason why you need to teach your children this skill. Your children need to have the competency and confidence to ask questions to learn more, facilitate further discussion, and to grow in knowing what they don't know.
Remember, it is important to be sensitive to the age and maturity level of your child when engaging in these conversations. Adapt your approach accordingly to ensure they grasp the message without feeling overwhelmed.
And then, let them ask questions of you. Because mom, you only get these opportunities once in a blue moon.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
