ridiculing their suggestions and new ideas, let us

encourage them to dream and dare enough to

think differently. Let us just help them to analyze

and make corrections and learn the art of
decision-making. Show them how to accept

defeat with a smile.

Parents, help your child learn to trust himself to
solve problems and make appropriate decisions.

Instead of being a helicopter parent, be a guide

and confidant. Let them know it is fine to ask for

help. Help your child remember ways that he or
she has successfully handled hardships in the

past and help them understand that these

experiences strengthen their character

preparing them for future challenges. An
optimistic and positive outlook enables your

child to see good things in life and keep

accomplishments. Even if they don’t succeed in

meeting their goal, appreciate them for their
efforts and encourage them to keep going. Our

words can make or break them.
