10 Personality Development for Kids
Kids are extroverts and have some mischievous elements when they are in a comfortable space. But the moment they move out of the house, their extrovert traits start diminishing.
Have you seen this difference?
Personality holds an important place in a kid's life. There are many stages where the development can be seen: emotional, social, self-esteem, and confidence. Personality development should be something that parents vouch for from a young age.
Here are 10 personality development tips for kids that you can follow for all-around growth.
- Act on low self Esteem - "Nobody likes me!". When you hear such things from your kids, your general reply may be, " Not at all. " This phrase doesn't help your kid fight. Reassure the kids regarding the good deeds, the rewards, the skill they possess. If not acted on such instances, this self-doubt will forever be a part of his life.
- Who's better? - Labelling good enough or not is probably the worst thing one can do. If not us as a parent, several family members should be refrained from comparing. The kid's vulnerable brain starts copying the other. In the process, his personality is lost.
- Never kill hobbies - We as parents need to understand that hobbies unleash your child's creative geek. Pressuring the kid to focus only on studies and dismissing the skills that they carry is unfair. This hobby can be anything, listening to music, playing, painting, etc.
- Let them fly - We are protective of our kids, and rightly so. But in the name of safety, are we restricting them? Motivate them to move out of their comfort zone. Socialize and play outdoor games.
- Promote Ethical behavior - Teach truthfulness, kindness, and humility through stories. Make the kid aware of what is right and wrong. Never ignore the slightest unethical behavior from your kid. This will ensure your kid to be a responsible citizen but also induce a sense of politeness.
- Be gentle on 'failure' - Each child has some unique capabilities. When a child lacks some of the skills or fails to perform in some instances, guide the kid rather than scolding. If the kids are scolded for failure, they will always be fearful.
- Control on gadgets - Child that's involved 24×7 on mobile phones will lack crucial social skills. The chances are high that the kid's posture and behavioral changes hamper the growth.
- Importance of Hygiene - Dressing according to events and hygienic traits are as significant as any other tip. These habits, if they aren't incorporated in young days, may lead to a shabby future.
- Compliment Acceptance - Children aren't born with this skill. Teach them to react positively. Explain to the child that rejecting a compliment sends negative vibes.
- Set the right idol - Share your struggle stories, keep a check on what your child is following. The chances are high that the trait the kid grasps will be from their idol. You don't want the personality to have negative traits.
