Lead by Example - Confident Parents Raise Confident Kids

Be mindful when you react and respond to your or someone else's mistakes. Toward yourself and others, try to be less judgemental and more empathetic when you are trying to analyse the situations. Encourage your children to understand that everyone makes mistakes and the essential thing is to learn from them rather than dwell on them.

By recognising and appreciating yours' and others' efforts you'll make your kids understand that it's nice to appreciate and praise people for their achievements. They will also learn that it's equally important to let others know that you recognise their efforts regardless of the results.

Teach your children setting goals, big or small, and help them achieve those goals.

1. Encourage your child to write a list of things she wants to accomplish to help her turn her wishes and dreams into concrete objectives.
2. Practise breaking down longer-term goals into manageable milestones.

It’s natural to want to protect your child from failure, but kids learn from trial and error - and so do we. How you react to your failures plays a very important role. Show your kids that you are dusting yourself and getting back up each time. They will learn not to give up, to keep trying and giving their best shot each time.

Show your love and support not only for your kids but also for other family members as well. Make them feel secure and loved. Your children will know that you will always love them and have their back, no matter what.
