In a world where you can be anything, be kind. Teaching our children in such a way that nobody will make them feel less important of themselves is a valuable goal parents and teachers should pursue. Research has shown that children who have a healthy sense of self-worth are more likely to be confident, resilient, and happy. Intentionally helping our children grow into happy and successful adults and making a difference in school, career and life is our responsibility. To achieve all these, we need to: 📌 Intentionally communicate and listen to our children with love and respect. Can we show them that we care about their thoughts, feelings, and opinions and that we value them as individuals, parents and teachers? Criticizing, shaming, or blaming them for their mistakes, and instead of helping them learn from them would affect their social and emotional well-being. 📌 Empower them to develop a positive and realistic self-image, and teach them to avoid negative and harsh self-criticism. Teach them to use affirmations, such as "I am capable", "I am worthy", and "I am enough", to boost their confidence and self-esteem. 📌 Help them cope with stress, fear, failure, and imperfection, and let's teach them that these are normal and inevitable parts of life. Help them find solutions and strategies to overcome their difficulties, and remind them of their strengths and abilities. 📌 Provide our children with clear and consistent rules and consequences for their behaviour, and explain the reasons behind them. Children, what's to know why? 📌 Allow them to explore their creativity, talents, and passions, and support them in their goals and dreams. Help them find activities and hobbies that they enjoy and excel at, and celebrate their uniqueness and diversity. Every child matters and it's our role as parents and teachers to raise children who will be confident enough to achieve their dreams. Feel free to share your experiences.

It's our role as parents and teachers to empower our children with the right skills and knowledge to safely explore the world around them and protect their social and emotional well-being.
