𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐃𝐎𝐌 "The Empowering Influence of Children" Children have an incredible capacity to empower adults in simple yet profound ways. Here are a few examples of how kids can empower adults: 1.Teaching Patience: Children often test the patience of adults with their endless questions and boundless energy. In doing so, they teach adults the value of patience and how to approach situations with a calm and understanding demeanor. 2.Inspiring Creativity: Children have vivid imaginations and see the world in a unique way. By sharing their creative ideas and perspectives, they can inspire adults to think outside the box and view things from a fresh angle. 3.Encouraging Playfulness: Children remind adults of the importance of play and having fun. Their carefree attitude can encourage adults to let go of stress and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. 4. Promoting Curiosity: Kids are naturally curious and constantly seeking to learn and discover new things. By asking questions and exploring the world around them, they can inspire adults to nurture their own curiosity and embrace lifelong learning. 5. Instilling Hope: Children have a remarkable ability to see the world with optimism and hope. Their unwavering belief in a better future can inspire adults to maintain a positive outlook in the face of challenges and setbacks. 6. Teaching Unconditional Love: The love that children freely give is a powerful reminder to adults of the importance of unconditional love and acceptance. Their pure and genuine affection can help adults cultivate deeper connections and relationships. In these and many other ways, children have a way of empowering adults through their innocence, purity and simplicity. By observing and learning from the children in their lives, adults can rediscover important values and qualities that enrich their own lives and relationships. As the renowned author and educator, Dr. Haim Ginott, once said, "Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression." Let us remember that the impressions children leave on us can be profound and transformative. In their own simple ways, children have the power to teach, inspire and uplift us reminding us of the beauty and joy that can be found in the everyday moments of life. Thus,let us embrace the lessons they offer with open hearts and minds and continue to be empowered by their presence in our lives. 𝐆𝐎𝐃 𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 😇🙏❤️ #children #kids #kidspower

Parenting is a skill that most take a lifetime to master. And still...parents are always learning, even as our children mature. Parents take into consideration these things as we learn along the way: - how to speak to a particular child (every child is different). - how to ask for help from our children (and what they need from us). - what age is our child (and does this impact how we alter what we do and how we react). - acknowledging that we still need to learn how to reach our children, even as they mature. Many parents choose to give up, but the ones who truly make a difference are the ones always making the effort to help their children, no matter the age. It's in the continual trying and effort that we show our love for our children. We aren't perfect (no parent is), but we know that we love our kids. Stay blessed :)

How To Help Your Homeschooler Manage the Emotional Roller Coaster https://lnkd.in/gSSrKNQX As grown-ups, we have the advantage of lived experience to help us navigate the not-so-friendly range of roller-coaster-style emotions. Children, on the other hand, are not as fortunate. They look to us as trusted guides for how to cope when BIG FEELINGS arise. So how do we teach our children how to ebb with the flow and bend with the wind?

In today's world, filled with challenges, how can we help our kids care for others? Research says kids naturally want to help when they see someone in need. By teaching them to be kind, we can make the world a better place. Compassion is when we notice someone's pain and want to help. Even babies like helpers! We can help our kids be kind by teaching them to think nice thoughts about themselves and others. We can also show them how to act kindly. When kids receive kindness, they feel good about themselves and others. We should let our kids know they are special and deserve care. Listening to them and being there for them is important. As kids grow, we can teach them to take care of themselves by paying attention to how they feel. We can help them understand that everyone goes through tough times. Being kind to themselves and others is essential. At DiYES International School, we recognize the value of instilling kindness in children. We aim to cultivate not just academic excellence but also moral integrity, guiding them to excel academically and thrive as compassionate individuals. Let's work together to raise caring kids who make the world a better place.

If your goal is to raise successful children without sacrificing their souls, do these 12 things immediately! ✨But first, 📌 Save & 📤 Share with a friend who needs to see this. → Follow me Homeschool Mastery Group for more everyday value. 📚✨ → Comment “HOMESCHOOL” to get FREE Courses, Coaching, and Resources to help. 🎓🆓 Here is what has to change to transform your child’s relationships and education: 1. If they are in public school, take them out. 2. If they are spending more time with peers than you as their parents, reverse that immediately. 3. If they are showing signs of addiction to media or devices, completely cut them off. 4. If you don’t spend quality one-on-one time together, start scheduling it daily. 5. If you haven’t already, accept your position as their primary educator (no matter their schooling format). 6. If you are a person of faith, put that on display with some kind of daily practice you do together (Ex: Bible study, worship, prayer, singing, asking questions about who God is…) 7. If you believe academics are important, then push them, but push values and positive experiences 10X harder. 8. If they are acting out negatively, then implement appropriate consequences and don’t compromise. 9. If your relationship is strained, then sit down with them and cast a vision for something better, then spend quality time together every day until you both love being together. 10. If you’re not on the same page with your spouse, have a family meeting and cast a vision for a better future. Come to terms and hold each other accountable. 11. If you don’t like who they are becoming, then make sure they aren’t learning it from you. 12. If you feel too busy, then audit your day and cut out 90% of the distractions that compete with your children for attention. It’s not OUTCOMES or RELATIONSHIPS. It’s RELATIONSHIPS leading to better OUTCOMES. #Homeschooling #HomeEducation #ParentingTips #RaiseSuccessfulChildren #FaithBasedEducation #ParentingAdvice #FamilyFirst #TransformativeEducation #PrimaryEducator #QualityTime #MediaDetox #PositiveParenting #HomeschoolSupport #IntentionalParenting #BetterOutcomes

Help for a child... A woman sometimes ago had difficulty understanding her daughter. She was not doing well in her school. And then, she was preparing for her entrance examination into secondary school. She had reading difficulties. The woman was so worried but within a short period, the child got support, and she was better. Reading difficulties typically have nothing to do with intelligence. Human beings are all different, and our brains work differently. Many of the smartest people, who have become scientists, authors, and are incredibly successful today struggled with reading when they were children! If your child is struggling with reading, it does not mean that you did anything wrong. It means that your child is going to learn to read a bit differently than some other kids do – and that’s okay. You can start with them from home: ¶ By practicing reading aloud to them. ¶ Beginning with any material or resources you find interesting and informative based on their level. ¶ Making the learning environments friendly and articulate. ¶ Correct them in love when they go wrong. Don't shout at them. ¶ Do not neglect the aspect of dictation, correct pronunciation, and spelling of difficult words. ¶ Engage them by making the reading interactive. Ask them simple questions. ¶ Follow them up in school with the support of their teachers. ¶ If you don't have more time to attend to your children, get a helping hand. ¶ Don't neglect the importance of prayer. Pray for them always and believe in your heart that they will become the best that they are. ¶ If the difficulties persist, kindly seek professional help. I hope this helps someone too. How has been your week? Have a happy Friday. #bvlc #childdevelopment #jocsign
