Help Your Child Express His Real Self

Every child is unique and a great part of a parent’s job is to discover this uniqueness. One of the best ways to find out is by encouraging your child’s self-expression: likes, dislikes, interests, specialties, everything that makes the child different. Letting the child express himself joyfully through arts, crafts, and other creative activities isn’t the only way. The Joy Kids Express offers these other ways to encourage self-expression.

HELP YOUR CHILD EXPRESS HIS REAL SELF

  • Interaction with other children – Expose your child to social environments and a chance to interact with other children, just as Casey Rose and the Joybug do. The child will discover what others like and dislike, face and handle challenges, develop a variety of relationships.
  • Give them choices – Whether it’s what to wear, what food to eat, what activities to engage in, the important thing is to provide the child with options to show his or her preferences. Let them know that their choice matters and it will promote positive and happy emotions.
  • Teach them how to disagree – Children are often on the receiving end of orders or instructions, like it or not. By teaching the child that disagreeing is acceptable, provided it’s done in the right way, you’ll open up a healthy channel for the child to express herself.

Developing the ability for self-expression will go a long way in helping the child become a self-confident, joyful well-rounded adult. Live life joyfully!
