The Fruit and The Tree
There’s an old saying that goes: “The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree”. We at Joy Kids Universe want your children to grow up with a pleasant personality. We believe it all starts with you showing them how it’s done. Here are some great tips on how you can help children demonstrate pleasant behavior. Want more tips? Hop on board the Joy Kids Express.
- Set the rules. It’s important that children know, as early as possible, what’s acceptable and non-acceptable behavior. They must know, and feel, what you – and others – expect from them and vice versa.
- Teach and coach. Although basic good behavior is the same everywhere, there are variations in what’s acceptable and what’s not, especially among different cultures. It’s your job to teach your children, first of all, the basics, and then the differences.
- Walk the Talk. A pleasant family environment is the best way to teach pleasant behavior to your children. After all, you can hardly grow fragrant roses in a garden full of weeds. Nothing beats teaching pleasant behavior by showing pleasant behavior as part of your daily life. Even when you’re under stress. Our weekly Joy Kids Express can help!
- It’s a work in process. Don’t forget that your child is still in the process of learning what is acceptable and pleasant behavior. Be patient, use discipline intelligently; encourage, support, and reward your child in the process.
The right mix of love, guidance and techniques will go a long way to make your child develop pleasant behavior.
