“Personality is that which is thrust upon us”-Balkrishna Panday.
You teach your child ways to walk, talk, eat, and sometimes even ways to perceive and think.
Kids around you learn faster than you think. Your actions are making their personality. Don’t wonder how because their genetic coding is modified.
When you shape your child’s personality, it refers to working on their courage, self-esteem, and confidence. Experts say that it is better to tame your child between age one to six as that is the time they are learning faster. Let us look at the ways through which you can work to improve the personality of your child:
- Avoid defining attributes.
Avoid defining your child’s attributes. For example, if your child shouts a lot, stop telling us that you are a spoiled child. Your child might believe that what you speak is the truth of their life. But actually, it is not. Do not label them as you are closing their options to correct themselves. Be cautious of the words you use in front of your child.
2. Always give a patient listening.
If you avoid or ignore every time what your child has to say, they might end up keeping secrets with them. If you are a mother to a toddler, understand what they are trying to say from their actions. Ignoring them will make up their mind for certain behaviors forever.
3. Don’t be too harsh when they are mistaken.
Do not hurt or punish your child every time they are at mistake. Learn to be gentle and choose to talk to your child. Communication will open up your ways to different solutions. You can also identify and encourage the passion of your child.
4. Take them for some playtime.
Decide activities that can engage your child. Give them some playtime because it affects the brain development of your child. Try to find out which game or sports they like and then you can push them ahead to pursue it.
5. Do not compare.
It is rubbish to compare your child with other children. Every child has a unique specialty and that is something you need to identify. You must learn to respect the individual identity of your child. It will build the confidence of your child.
6. Teach them the right thing in the right way.
Don’t think that your child is small and will not be able to keep shoes in place or arrange books properly. You get to teach them the right way to put things in place. Do not force and softly teach them why they should do things.
7. Tight screen time.
Gadgets are the new age craze, especially amongst kids. Playing games and watching videos has become an addiction. You need to set the screen time and tell your kids that it will be allowed only for some time.
8. Do not assist in every task.
Encourage your child to be independent as soon as they are wise enough to understand. It will shape their thoughts. Trust nothing is better than taking your child towards independence. But this is also the most challenging and thoughtful task.
The personality development of kids is a long process. There is no rule book to follow but you have to define good and bad for them. Every parent, parenting, and child is different from others. But your consistent efforts will pay you off in the time to come.
