How to Get Your Children to be Resilient posted by UNKNOWN Posted on Tue Jul 11, 2006 14:18:02 It is most important for our children's happiness to help them feel resilient in the face of adversity. If they develop this skill they will better face setbacks in their life. They will have the self-confidence to set and accomplish goals. How can they learn to be resilient? The answer is within themselves. Children have to reframe how they view mistakes in their lives. They need to see setbacks as temporary and not a permanent situation. They can't turn the mistake against themselves and become negative. They should try only to have positive thoughts . If they have a negative thought they need to turn it around into a positive one. For negative thought are self-destructing. Also, if they have more self-confidence then they will tend to be more positive thinkers. A good way to increase one's self-esteem is to focus on the strengths one has. Everyone has a hidden talent that needs to be brought out and nurtured. It is important to take time everyday to develop the strengths one possesses. If a child has a talent for doing art give them lessons. This will give them a feeling of success and they will be more apt to try new things because of their added confidence. We all possess the ability to chose the positive path if we want. It is up to us to go down that path. 0 comments--Add comment Learn Positive Thinking posted by UNKNOWN Posted on Sat Jun 17, 2006 18:33:13 The summer is upon us.
