HOW TO GET YOUR CHILD TO WORK HARD
As a first step, reinforce the age-old belief - there’s no substitute to hard work. Research indicates that appreciating a child’s accomplishment with a phrase like “You worked so hard for this” can have a positive impact on the success of a child. On the other hand, using a phrase like “You are very smart,” will only deter the child from putting in the necessary effort to succeed. You need to keep discussing real-life examples of people who worked hard, remained committed and focussed for their success.
HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILD STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE
As a first step, set the right benchmark for excellence. Does your child believe in not just winning a race, but winning with an ‘excellent’ effort? If yes, he is halfway there. Make your child understand that striving for excellence leads to a sense of accomplishment. However, remember that there is a very fine margin between excellence and perfection. While you should encourage your child to strive to give his best in every task he takes up, ensure you are not imposing unhealthy perfectionism on him. That could be a recipe for disaster.
HOW TO TEACH YOUR CHILD TO BE HONEST
As a first step, incorporate the ‘no-lying’ policy in the household. Set the expectation for the family right and that expectation is to be true and honest, no matter what. But, before that, you should know why children lie. If you manage to eliminate the ‘fear’ that makes children lie, you would have taken the first step to a gradual change towards honesty.
