Essential life skills are important and should be nurtured in every child. Learning how to be successful is one of the most important things you can do for your children.

5 Tips to Strengthen Your Child’s Emotional Health and Happiness

,

Nurturing your child’s emotional health is essential for happy, healthy kids. During the formative years of childhood, emotional health and identity are largely shaped. Their sense of well-being as well as their physical and cognitive growth may be negatively affected if this foundation is not properly established.

Three main factors play an essential role in how well kids can manage their emotions, gain perspective, and develop resilience.

These factors include having close relationships with their parents, receiving appropriate parenting, and having strong social and emotional skills.

When parents are a source of warmth and unconditional love, kids usually develop a positive attitude toward life.

How can you strengthen your child’s emotional health? These tips can help:

1.Spend time with your kids.
2. Train your children to be “fluent at feelings.”
3. Avoid labeling your children when you discipline them.
4. Encourage them to think positively.
5. Let them know it’s okay for life to be difficult sometimes.

10 Tips to Teach Your Child The Art of Giving

10 Tips to Teach Your Child The Art of Giving

Is there an “art of giving”? I believe there is. Much like how a painter creates unique masterpieces and writers craft heartfelt words, gifting is an opportunity to express care for those around us- it’s one way we show our hearts.

Teaching your child how to give to others can increase their self-esteem and help them look out for others that are less fortunate. It also teaches them that the world doesn’t revolve around them, something all children can learn.

Teaching kids to give also encourages saying no to selfishness and prepares them to be more inclusive towards others.

Try these strategies that may prove useful:

1. Lead by example.
2. Encourage generosity by showing them that their help benefits others.
3. Teach your children to give of their time and energy
4. Give them lessons on sharing.
5. Share how you feel when you give.
6. Consider donor-advised funds.
7. Look for opportunities to give.
8. Start small.
9. Be clear.
10. Teach your children positive values.
