You'll
want to prepare them for kindergarten before they go so that way everything is
just review to them. They will stay ahead of the class and be able to learn new
material, giving them a higher advantage compared to the other kids.
Most moms
and dads don't have a lot of time to educate their children and create the core
skills that are needed in the real world. Even if you don't have time, there
are ways of getting around this. For example, you can pick up a few fun
learning materials that they will play with on their own.
With our
technology today, they are perfectly capable of learning on their own.
Also, by doing small things such as reading for them, you will prepare
them for a brighter future. Why not go over the words with them or point to
unfamiliar objects and have them sound it out. You'd be surprised with what
they can learn.
It is
important that you stay calm with them while teaching. This experience should
be fun for them so don't let it seem like work. If they don't understand
something, you can move onto the next subject. Toddlers or kids will easily
become bored with the same subject.
Some
parents will raise their tone when teaching a child and we suggest that you don't
do this. You should never become frustrated if they cannot learn
something. Instead, taking your time and going a different route is better.
Toddlers
and kids are extremely sensitive and this is why you should always have
patience with them. Once your child goes to their first day of
kindergarten, you won't have to worry about them falling behind. They
will be ready to conquer the world and the teacher will be impressed with what
they can do.
By making
educational choices for your children, you can leave a good impression as a
parent. Generally, kids who are educationally inclined will have an easier time
socializing and communicating with other kids. This means that they'll be able
to make a few good friends and won't be lonely in their class. For most
parents, this is very important. Life is all about communicating with others.
The
basics of raising kids
Raising
children is not just all about fun and play. You must teach them manners,
discipline and respect as well. Most kids don't want to learn these things but
in order to be a good parent, you should teach them everything they need to
know about life.
Remember
that you should always begin when the child is young. We recommend starting
lessons for them when they are a toddler. Obviously, you aren't going to
jump ahead 4 grades and start teaching them advanced math. Their brain is still
developing and they are still learning speech plus basic movement skills. With
this in mind, you'll need to raise your kids by giving them simple activities that
have to do with colors, hand-eye coordination, and memorization. These are the
most basic skills a child will need in life. By dealing with these skills
first, they'll be confident to learn a lot more.
Behind
The Scenes
If your
children seem rebellious or against the thought of learning about certain
subjects, you'll need to motivate them. What is it that your child enjoys? Do
they have a certain activity or something it is that they want? If so, you
should act on whatever that is. For example, if they love eating cookies and
you rarely give them cookies, it is a good idea to reward them. You can reward
them for completing tasks just by giving them cookies. They will look forward
to their next task because they know if they complete it - they will get another
cookie. This way it is like a fun game to them.
When it
comes to raising kids, you should always organize everything accordingly. Wake
them up at the same time for their breakfast and start their toddler lessons at
noon. The reason why we do this is so that they can get used to their schedule.
If you jumble everything up, they may not be in the mood to learn. Believe it
or not, some toddlers develop a feel for "time". If they normally eat
and study after - they will be prepared for this.
Also, this
will allow you to relax and stop worrying about if they will take part in your
lessons or not. They won't say no since they already know the time has come to
learn. Eventually, they will accept it as an everyday part of life. This is
exactly what we want them to think and the technique works extremely well with
kids.
The
characteristics of a genius
A genius
is someone who is smart, logical, observes what's going on around them, and a
problem solver. If you want them to become a genius, it will take hard work.
However,
this doesn't mean you need to take two hours out of your day to teach your
children. A brief lesson is fine and would be better for the child. You don't
want to drag the lesson on for so long that they eventually don't want to
participate anymore. A lesson should last for 10-30 minutes only, depending on
how young they are. If you want your kid to become a genius, you'll need to pay
attention to their progress. Here are a few characteristics of a genius below:
Logical
Someone
who is a genius is logically and can put two things together, coming to a
conclusion. Let's say you have learning cards for your child. There are four
learning cards and they must find out which object doesn't belong. On the
cards, there are three different types of birds and one car on one of the
cards. Obviously, a kid who thinks in a logical manner will choose the car
because it looks nothing like the birds.
Observing
If your
child is observing, you will notice that they tend to respond to sounds and
visuals around them. See how many times you have to call your child before they
come to you. If it takes them five minutes before they come to you, it is a
good idea to work on this. Give them reward when they come. This will
help with the situation. Look closely to see if your child responds to sounds
or visuals more. If they seem to gravitate to visuals more often, this is an
indication that they are a visual learner. Quite often, visual learners become
artists later on in live but there are other professions as well.
Smart
A child
who is smart will begin to talk at an early age and even give objects the
proper nouns. If you have a younger toddler who is still grasping the name of
certain items - you may want to help them out. Point to each item and tell them
what it is. Only do this with three items at a time so this way it sticks in
their brain. Learning too much too soon can make the child become confused and
they'll even get their words confused. This could have a reverse effect on
their learning activities so make sure you do this. Children that are able to
retain certain information are naturally smart and by taking advantage of this,
they could go a long way. Make sure you work with their strengths and also help
them with things they are having trouble with. They will thank you later in
life for being such a great parent.
How to
transform your kids to become geniuses
In order
to transform your kids to become geniuses, you will need to come up with a plan
of action. Write down what materials you need that you would like to teach them.
It is
important to see if they are a visual or hands-on learner first. This way you
can give them an upper hand in learning. You want the process to be easy for
them; otherwise they may not be as excited about learning. This creates a
negative effect and won't allow them to move on in their education. Play games
with your children.
Transforming
Games are
a great way to start out. If your child is very young, why not start a ball
game? Tape two symbols on the ball. You can tape a butterfly and a dog on the
ball. Ask them to pass you the ball that has the dog. Do this a few times so
this way they will be able to learn identification skills as well as their
nouns.
Also, it
is a good idea to visit a store in your area and find some toys for learning.
Make sure the toys are safe and are age appropriate. If you have a two year old,
you certainly don't need to be teaching them things that a 6 year old would
know.
You can
go a year or two ahead but no more than that. There are many games to come up
with or purchase. They have mini computer games, word games, symbol games,
geometrical games and so on. Feel free to give them a choice of which game they
want. If your child is really young, you'll need to choose for them.
The soft skills required for good
parenting
Good
parenting begins with gentle discipline, patience, understanding, comforting
and love. If you give your child everything they need, in a balanced fashion -
they will look back on their past and won't have any negative feelings. Many
children are missing out on a few things while growing up.
Either
the parent is too soft to show them what the rules are, or they simply can't
show their love. For example - a father always brings his son to baseball
practice but he never tells him he does a good job. Instead, he constantly
yells at him and tells him he could have done better. His son grows up,
deprived of love and understanding.
This is
because he was so young that he did not understand his father's reasoning. Men
will often show their love in a different way and some kids do not understand
this which transforms into anger or sadness once they look on their past.
Soft
Skills
What
about a mother who always gives her child love? She is extremely soft-hearted
and will practically give anything her daughter wants. What she is doing is
making life easy for her but in reality, this will not work. You need to work
hard in order to get things. There is a difference when it comes to balancing
everything out. If your daughter is not learning discipline, you are setting
her up for failure in life. She will continue not to follow rules and later
will rebel in social situations or the work place. Instead, it is a good idea
to make a balance between everything.
With
balance, you are considering all of the soft skills for good parenting. If you
don't balance everything out, your son or daughter will focus on a single goal
in life. They won't be good with other things. For example - what if your child
only plays basketball and neglects their school work? This can be extremely
devastating if one day your child breaks their leg during a game.
There is
a good chance that they won't be able to play again. Make sure that they are
good at many different things. By doing this, you are giving them lots of
options in their life. When they
are older, they can become a graphic artist or even an architect planner. There
are so many different things available and you need to work with what they are
good at, while still strengthen the skills they need help with. Many parents
don't realize they are making this mistake by doing this early, your child will
blossom in life.
Comforting
and understanding come hand in hand for most parents. If your son is having a
hard time making friends in his second grade class, you'll instinctively want
to comfort him. Every parent should do this. If you don't give your children
comforting, they will become lonely and even upset. A sense of
hopelessness will come over them and they'll wish you paid more attention. Even
if you have never gone through the same situation they are in, it is still a
good idea to comfort them.
Let your
children know that everything is going to be okay and no matter what, you will
always be there for them. They will look up to you and come running when they
are faced with a troublesome situation. Infants
should be treated with the same soft skills as we mentioned here. If your baby
is still learning how to walk or hasn't yet begun to crawl, you need to show
them love whenever possible. The human mind is very strong and some kids can
even remember things from back to when they were five months old - even if it
was just a blurry memory.
The hard
skills for parenting
Hard
skills for parenting are very important for your child, especially in their
younger years. Hard skills include being strict, tough love, and self-soothing.
No parent wants to feel like the bad guy in the relationship and this is why we
tend to be less strict these days. It certainly isn't like the way it was 60
years ago, when children were often hit and scolded for doing small things that
we consider "innocent" today. However, you will need to work on a few
hard skills for parenting if you want your child to become strong.
If you
don't want to be the one who seems like the bad guy - why not share the hard
skills between your spouse? A lot of the time, when the father is too
lenient and the mother is too strict - the child will come running to the
father. Since the mother says no, the father may argue with her and this will
cause problems in the relationship. Also, this shows the child that whatever
they do is okay.
They
become confused since one parent allows them to do something while the other
does not. Speak with your significant other and make the decisions together in
order to avoid any confusion.
Hard
Skills
Do not be
an enabler and allow them to do whatever they want. If you have a nine month
old baby and they often cry to get what they want, you might come running to
soothe them. Eventually they will need to learn to talk instead of focusing on
crying. This is why we invented something called "self-soothing".
Instead of always comforting your child, you'll need to let them have some time
on their own.
If you've
tried everything and they've been crying for hours, you need to put them down
in their crib. Before you do this, make sure there is nothing going on with
them medically. Once you
set them down, close the door and let them cry. It might be heart wrenching for
you to hear them cry but soon they will need to know that crying will not
always receive a response. You will start to see them crying less and while you
give them speech lessons, they will begin to rely on this for communication.
In
another situation, you have your three year old who is constantly running
around the house and always says "no" to you. This is a normal stage
in life and many kids go through this. They think that by saying
"no", they will not have to do things like eating vegetables, taking
their bath, etc.
You'll
need to show them tough love at this point. This means if they push their food away
and don't want to eat, just let it be. If they see someone in the family eating
cookies and want some, tell them calmly that they will need to eat the rest of
their dinner first.
By not
making a big deal out of it, your child won't feel as if they are pressured
into doing things they don't want to. Put out the dinner you saved in front of
them. If they eat it, go ahead and reward them with a cookie. This is a great
way of being firm and still being able to give them what they want. Eventually
they will get the pattern.
The
benefits of good parenting
Good
parenting can help your child grow into a confident, happy, and smart
individual who knows what they want in life. Even the little things you teach
them can make a strong impact. You may just want to keep your child all to
yourself and never let them grow up, but they'll soon need to make their own
life. Letting your son or daughter go can be a tearful moment for many parents
but you need to realize that all the things you have taught them in life will
just make the process smoother for them.
If you
have taken your time to get them ahead of all the other kids in school, there
is a good chance they will excel to college at an early age. Once they complete
college, they will be able to start looking for work and have a fulfilling
life. Here are some benefits of good parenting:
Confidence
By
communicating daily with your child and praising them on the good things they
do, you are building their confidence. Parents who tend to scream at their
child for everything that they do wrong will lower their self-esteem, causing
an opposite effect. Stay calm even when they are at their worst moments.
If your
child happens to draw on the wall, look at them with a nod of disapproval and
say "No". Explain to them that this is not right. Tell them that you
won't be giving them dessert because they did this. What this does is
create the same response to what they did, without harsh scolding. They will be
a mentally healthy and confident person.
Happiness
Did you
know that happiness is strongly linked with laughter? Doing little things like
tickling your child, giving them playful kisses, or even watching cartoons with
them will create a happy environment. They will tend to focus on positive
results instead of the negative things in life, making them happy. Try to make
your child laugh a few times a day, even if they are acting up. If you are too
stressed or just not in the mood, do something that will cheer both of you up.
Harmony
In order
to surround your child in a peaceful setting, you need to create harmony. You
can do this just by lowering your tone and staying calm with them at all times.
If there is someone who constantly yells in the house and has a lot of anger,
you need to take them away from this environment. An environment that is
peaceful will allow your child to be happy and they won't be afraid to be
themselves. If you think that your child is being abused by someone - get to
the bottom of it right away! It can easily scar them in the future and cause
anxiety.
You may
have to file an investigative report but think of it this way - your child is
worth it. They are the one you will be with for the next 18 years of your life.
After this, they'll most likely move on and start a life on their own. Don't
worry though - they'll still need you and look at your as their dear mother or
father.
Your job
is only to give them the best in life and teach them right from wrong. By doing
this, you will allow them to grow and they'll be much happier in their life.
There is nothing better than seeing a bubbly child in your life who runs around
with a smile on their face.
