EDUCATION is the foundation upon which we build our Future. Our Future our kids future. Education is not merely limited to academics its beyond that. Its not only school books education that is important. Education is vast. Education of Happiness is the prior most education which will give right meaning to Word Education. Every parent wants his/her child to be happy. Every Parent beyond their limits try to fulfill all the desires of their children, to make them feel comfortable, to see them happy. We all want the same things for our kids. We want them to grow up, to follow their dreams, to find success but how much control do we have over our children’s happiness? Happiness matters a lot. Only if your child’s Mental Health is good only then expect results from him /her. If your child is not happy with what he or she is pursuing don’t expect much from him/her. Parents want to see them successful. But what is the definition of Success in Parents terms. May be we see our children doing very well in their Jobs, Businesses but Are we sure they are actually Successful? They may be successful in our terms but what about their term. So its very necessary to understand in todays so competitive scenario the exact need of our child. If we Educate them to be Happy they will automatically be successful. They will automatically learn to earn with a Good Health & Well being.
So here are some
tips we can try :
1.) Our Mood Matter : Every child first school is his/her home. children absorb everything from us, our moods matter. One of the best things you can do for your child’s emotional well-being is to attend to yours: carve out time for rest, relaxation. Educate them about emotions. How to deal with them? Its ok if someday they become angry on you May be they are struggling with themselves. So be a Supportive mentor.
2.) Right Praise : Every child is unique & owes unique talent. Praise on the right stuff rather than every stuff. As praising every now & then will rise your expectations in their mind & after that they will not do anything for themselves they started doing for you , your appreciation. It doesn’t mean don’t praise it means redirect it, “Praise the effort rather than the result, “Educate them about the exact meaning of praise so that in future they won’t work for praise but for their happiness, for themselves.
3.)Accept the challenge : Parents challenge is to stand back and let their children do for themselves what they’re capable of . “The great mistake good parents make is doing too much for their children”.
While it can be difficult to watch our kids struggle,
they’ll never know the thrill of mastery unless we allow them to risk failure.
Few skills are perfected on a first try. It’s through practice that children
achieve mastery. And through repeated experiences of mastery, they develop the
can-do attitude that lets them approach future challenges with the zest and
optimism that are central to a happy life.
4.) Connection & Confidence : Appreciate your children
every small contribution towards the family whether its cleaning their own rooms
or study tables, giving glass of water.
Make them feel they are connected towards their family.
5.) Educate them to give respect to each class of the society. Educate them to be a helping hand towards everyone so that while doing any deed they feel happy from inside. Blessings of others ease their way.
6.) Exclusion : Don’t ever fear to get excluded from
society if your child wants to do something different from which all are doing.
Support them. Educate them about the pros. & cons. of their desires from
your experiences.
7. )Comparison : Don’t ever compare your children with anyone. So what if your Friends Daughter or Son scored 98 % & your child 78 %. So what If one of their classmate got high package job. Does that Guarantee their happiness in future . If his 78 % makes you feel happy today then be ensure it will keep your child happy throughout life. Educate your child about the consequences if he or she is comparing themselves with anyone. Make them analyses their uniqueness.
8.) Experiences : Share your own life experiences with them . Rather giving them Money, Comforts give them your TIME which no amount can bring. Be their Mentor, Guide & Friend Rather than just parents. Try to understand their struggles, needs at each age group. Rather than criticizing their acts try to understand them for their acts.
Educate them to find happiness in every moment, in every situation. When they are tiny toddlers they are unaware of this world. They laugh on anything, their happiness lies in anything they do whether they break things, run away, makes clothes dirty, drawings on walls, watching cartoons, quarreling with siblings, messing up space, Spreading jams, clothes from Almira’s etc etc….Why can’t we maintain their this happiness throughout.
For their Actual Better Future we have to Actually make them grow happily. So its our Prime Duty to Educate them to be Happy. Mental Health is most important than anything else in this scenario.
