Personal Growth and Development for Children
Is all about Building Self Awareness & Good Experiences
For starters, give them the right tools. Lead by example with good family guidelines for Consistency, Congruency & Communication.
3Cs that must be:
Be Consistent, your Self, in following the guidelines you set down for your kids. If we teach using double standards, children learn to use double standards. Double standards are not okay. Be consistent and fair. Admit your faults and mistakes, so that children learn to recognize, admit, and correct their faults and mistakes. It is okay to make mistakes.
Be Congruent ... that's a difficult task in today's world. Put simply, match your behavior to your words, emotions, and reactions; honestly and responsibly. It takes the guesswork out of the communication equation. Good, honest, responsible communication makes everyone feel good, including your Self and your children, and it teaches us to not take everything so personally.
Communication? Well, that's the toughest one of all. Most adults have never mastered it. Can you honestly say that you have no or very few misunderstandings with other people? No? And why is that, do you think? Perhaps because of our tendency toward inconsistent and incongruent communication? Perhaps because of our mistrust, or our need to keep secrets and withhold information? Honestly, how can we as adults, let alone children, manage an honest reaction when we seldom receive any honest answer or complete and honest information?
It could be very simple. Remember that our children can teach us what we have forgotten. Children are closer to their intuition. Children are closer to their innocence. Children are closer to their natural Self; the ultimate guidelines to family and life.
People listen better when they think they'll hear something of value.
Aren't your children the most valuable treasures in your life?
