Like all other skills, success can be learned. In fact, it ought to be a crucial component of child education. How to teach children to succeed is the most pressing concern.
The reply is as follows:
Encourage your children to acquire the traits necessary for success. Children can easily learn the behaviors, habits, and ways of thinking that lead to success.
After all, children are more curious than adults and have better grasping abilities.
What characteristics assist children in achieving success?
The belief that “I Can” is the most important one. I can succeed; I can accomplish it.” Children should be nurtured to develop this kind of self-assurance.
How?
The following method is suggested by B.K. Narayan, the author of “Success Mindware,” a complete self-development course for children.
According to Narayan, “You can build Success Self-image in your children on the strength of each little success that they have achieved up until today.” “Sit down with your children and together recount their past successes,” he continues. For instance:
If your son did well on a spelling test, it shows that he can learn and remember things. If he gets to school on time, it shows that he is punctual. If he behaved nicely with a guest last week, it shows that he has good manners. If he finished third in a running race, it shows that he is fit and can do better. If he can color well, it shows that he has an artistic mind. When you start counting, you’ll be amazed at how long the list gets! In addition, just as I have demonstrated with each example in the bracket, be sure to emphasize to your child the characteristics that lie behind each achievement. According to B.K. Narayan, “Remind your child that he achieved those successes because he possessed those positive qualities that are found in successful people.”
This basic technique assists with building a sure mental self view, come what may, as your kid gets the evidence of its capacity. Without a doubt. Without a doubt.
Children should also be taught how to control their emotions in addition to having the belief that “I can do”
Emotions are similar to powerful thoughts. Anxiety, anger, and fear are all intense feelings. Use a simple breathing technique to teach your children how to control their emotions.
The mind can be calmed by taking slow, deep breaths for a few minutes. Five to six slow, deep breaths are helpful.
But this is insufficient.
With the right affirmation technique, a mind should be reined in further once it has calmed down. Yes, the affirmation method is not limited to adults. They are so easy to use that even children can use them.
For emotional control, teach your children to mentally repeat simple affirmations. The following are some examples of affirmations that you could give to your children:
“I feel better now. Now I’m calm.
“I’m calm and collected. I am in charge.
Teaching your children to silently repeat affirmations until they feel better is a good idea.
A crucial quality for success is also how well your children learn to change their behavior.
Smart people are able to alter their behavior in order to achieve a particular objective. But how can behavior be altered?
Changing habits is part of changing behavior. Your children will naturally develop good behavior if you encourage them to develop useful habits.
How your children handle a given life situation is another important quality for success.
Children, like adults, face a variety of challenges at home, at school, and on the playground. Children should be taught how to handle a given task or circumstance with ease and effectiveness.
How do you instruct your children in this?
The best approach is to serve as a model for them.
Through your efficient actions and cool decisions, demonstrate to your children how to deal with problems that may arise on a daily basis or unpleasant situations that may occur suddenly. Your children would learn to behave similarly as a result of this.
After all, it is said that children learn from observing our actions rather than listening to what we say.
You can give your children the best gift—the ability to succeed in life—with the right training and patient guidance.
“Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give…,” read the Declaration of the Rights of the Child of the United Nations.
