Parenting is not only extremely
rewarding, but it’s also an incredible learning experience.
Am not a father yet but love
children. I’ve also done extensive research into the art of parenting.
This is what I’ve learned…
The most important single role of
parenting is to love and nurture your children and to build in them feelings of
high self-esteem and self-confidence. If you raise your children feeling
terrific about themselves, if you bring them up full of eagerness to go out and
take on the world, then you have fulfilled your responsibility in the highest
possible sense.
Why Parents Don't Love
Enough
There are two major reasons for the
failure by parents to love their children enough. First, the parents do not
love themselves. Parents with low self-esteem have great difficulty giving more
love to their children than they feel for themselves. The second reason that
parents dont love their children enough is they often have the mistaken notion
that their children exist to fulfill their expectations.
Children are Not
Property
The starting point of raising super
kids is to realize that your children are not your property. Your children
belong to themselves. They are a gift to you from high above, and a temporary
gift at that.
Children are a
Precious Gift
When you look at your children as
precious gifts that you can only enjoy for a short time, you see your role as
parents differently. When you celebrate and encourage the special nature and
personality of your child, he or she grows like a flower in sunshine. But if
you try to get your child to be something he or she is not, your child's spirit
will wither, and his or her potential for happiness and joy will shrivel like a
leaf on a tree in autumn.
"Do you know
the secrets to raising super kids?"
The
biggest regret that parents have later on in life is that they didn't spend
enough time with their children and that they didn't do a good enough job.
You want the best for your children. You want them to be happy. You want them
to be self-confident…You want to learn the secrets of raising happy, healthy,
children.

Love Makes the
Difference
The most important consideration in
raising super kids is the amount of love they receive. Children need love like
flowers need water. A continuous flow of love and approval from the parent to
the child is the child's lifeline to emotional and physical health. Love
deprivation is surely the most serious problem that a child can suffer during
his or her formative years.
Unconditional Love and
Acceptance
Make it clear to your child that
nothing he or she does could ever cause you to love him or her less than 100%.
The most wonderful gift you can give your child is the absolute conviction that
you love him or her completely, without reservation, no matter what he or she
does and no matter what happens.
Praise and
Encouragement
Give your children continual praise
and encouragement for the positive things they do, even small things. Praise
and reinforce what you would like to see repeated. Praise them to build their
self-esteem and self-confidence.
Action Exercise
Ask yourself what it would be like
to be your own child. Put yourself in the position of your child or your
children, and then evaluate yourself as a parent. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
What do you do well and what do you do poorly? What are some of the things that
you do that might be causing your children to grow up with lower self-esteem
than you would like?
