Raising a child is not an easy task. We have to go through so many challenges to raise a successful kid. Some kids are good at something, while others are good at something else. A parent has to check what all things are liked by their kids and grow them up accordingly. And knowing what they like; is like experimenting with them. Children don’t know what they love to do so, we need to expose them to all the types of activities and finally understand what they like to do the most. In our mind, we always think of raising them strong enough to tackle with all problems and win the world with a smile on their face. In this article we are going to understand some scientifically proven tips which would help our kids easily attain success.
Encouraging conversation
Right from their early childhood, we try to respond to them with each sound they make. We don’t let go of any baby babble without responding to it since we want our small ones to speak fast. This is how we initiate baby talk and they learn how to communicate by looking directly into our eyes. Conversing with kids is known to be one of the greatest weapons in our hands. It helps kids learn to communicate as well as assists us in knowing what they think about certain ideas.
Teaching through real life experience
Sometimes, sitting with books and teaching would not affect that much as much as could be done with real life experience. Take every opportunity to teach them values or something that is connected to their life.
For example, kids have a tendency to stand just near the batsman or big boys when they are playing something. Help your kids understand that if they stand too close to the batsman, they might get hurt! This can lead them to understand that they should be away from any kind of danger.
Sometimes we do get shock through some electric sockets or switches. This is the best time to tell them that we should always touch electric switches wearing a pair of sleepers as well as with dry hands. Even small kids can acquire and follow this much knowledge. If our kids are big, we can even make them understand which all things are good conductors of electricity and which all things are bad conductors of electricity.
Outdoor activities
Physical activities are very important for a child’s growth. Proactive thinking develops from such activities. In real life, we need to first measure first what is going to happen and then decide on doing something. While playing, a child has to plan as well as analyze all the options before hand and then decide on a specific option to be adopted. In real life too, we have to plan and think before acting. Therefore, these skills can be acquired by a child only when he/she indulges in some outdoor games. Thus, physical activities are one of the crucial activities for developing a successful child.
Reading books
Books are said to be a powerhouse of knowledge, though nowadays technology can fetch us with many information, but the fun of reading a book is very different. Try to give your child a lot of books that are full of information. Sit with them to answer their queries and explain the facts. Sometimes we need to prob them so they can figure out the answer on their own. Leave them with their own imagination and let them come up with something creative. And all this imagination and creativity can come only through books. So let them read a lot until it becomes a habit.
