Teach simple task to build self-esteem. Building confidence and inculcating life skills should start from the day your child is born so that he learns independence early on. There are many opportunities and stages for nurturing the right attitude.
Begin with giving the love, encouragement and praise your child need when he is just a baby. Provide a strong and stable domestic environment for him to grow up in, and he'll develop the self-esteem needed to tackle the challenges of middle childhood.
Your child will start wanting a substantial degree of freedom from upper primary school. His challenges here will consist of mastering the skill necessary to get through each day. You role is in preparing him to deal with this independence.
First, he need to know how to survive. He should be taking responsibility for his nutrition and knowing all about safety in kitchen. Start with teaching how to make a simple meal and go with him when he buys his own ingredients.
Home task:
Job around the house can be fun and make your child feel valuable; there are many things you can do together here. Washing the car, planting the garden, and sorting the laundry are activities that will give your child a sense of environment accountability and appreciation of teamwork. He'll doing all these on his own before long.
Dealing with school is a vital life skill. Starting school and seeing all the new faces is never easy, with the myriad of personalities in a class and all the potential emotional health risk. Make sure you're there to lend an ear and support him through the early days, even if you feel he is confident enough.
Homework is the next challenge, where your child learns the importance of deadlines. Organization skill is important here, so encourage him to study when he gets home and relax only after he is finished. He should learn to sort his books and accessories, and responsible for his own meals.
Personal hygiene is important. At this age, it's often an uphill task to get your child into the bathroom. Make him clean his teeth morning and evening and see to it that he gets in the shower once a day.
Encourage your child to take the initiative. Resist the temptation to make his decisions for him. If you do that, he will never feel confident that when faced with a problem, he can solve it correctly. Offer him choices. Ask him what he would like- whether it's films at the cinema or choosing his birthday party programme.
Don't forget practical reward for completed jobs.Children will often start a job and stop when the novelty wear off. You'll encourage him to see a challenge through if you hand out small reward at the end.
