Five methods to teach you how to cultivate children with courage!

Courage is not something you have, it will be permanent. It is a consumable that requires you to constantly muster it up.

A little story about a child who loves martial arts. Since starting to learn, whenever there are activities big or small in the class, the child will volunteer to perform.

Sometimes he will prepare in advance, and sometimes he will improvise. Seeing the applause and cheers of the teacher and classmates, the son’s enthusiasm for learning martial arts has become even stronger.

I participated in a martial arts competition during the summer vacation. As it was my first time participating, I was a bit excited and nervous.

However, my child was not at all nervous except for excitement. In a strange environment, facing a row of unfamiliar examiners, my child went through the motions and punched me with a set of punches, as if practicing at home.

The coach said that this child’s courage is commendable. I also think that the child still has some potential.

Recently, I didn’t pay much attention to the selection of the school martial arts team, but my child was particularly nervous.

I encouraged him: I wasn’t nervous about the martial arts competition last time, what are you afraid of this time.

But before the child came on stage, he had no confidence at all. 02 So it turned out that I was wrong.

In my heart, my child loves martial arts and practices diligently enough; I’m not afraid to participate in competitions, my courage is enough, at least in martial arts, I don’t need to worry about my child.

But I forgot, courage is not something that lasts forever, it increases and of course decreases. For example, a child likes martial arts, so during practice, as the learning content improves, the child will encounter more and more challenges.

In this process, the child’s confidence will be affected and their courage will be consumed. Moreover, in the eyes of children, the school selection competition is an important part of judging their martial arts level.

The more they want to win the competition, the more they worry about failure. In the repeated reinforcement of winning and losing, the child will become less and less confident.

Raising children is not a final decision. Looking back, during the process of raising a child, have you ever said something like.

“Didn’t I just tell you how to write this word yesterday. Why don’t you know how to write it today. ” “I told you not to eat too much at night, why didn’t you listen.

Now that you’re okay, you’ve had a stomachache and are happy. ” The reason why we say this is not just to complain, but also because our true thoughts are, “I’ve taught you before, you should learn and never make mistakes.

In fact, raising children is not just about doing projects. Once the projects are completed, it comes to an end.

However, raising children is a long-term and iterative process because some things are not a one-time decision, but require continuous attention and follow-up.

The cultivation of children’s courage is the same. Cultivate children with courage, you can do it this way.

To cultivate children with courage, it’s not just a few words of encouragement. It requires caregivers to accept children, see them, and guide them in a timely manner, and it is a long-term process.

Next, I will share 5 methods that I have tried repeatedly, and you can also give them a try. Understand and accept children’s fears: When children are afraid, don’t simply tell them, ‘What’s there to be afraid of as a man.

‘ But stand in their shoes, understand and accept their fears, and let them know that parents are with you.

Doing so helps children establish a sense of security. Gradually guide children to face fear: the reason why people are afraid is because of their fear of the unknown.

So, the best way to help children solve their fears is to guide them to face their fears and understand the real reasons behind them.

For example, if a child is afraid of the dark, they can start by turning on a small light and gradually reducing its brightness to help them understand that even without light, nothing bad will happen.

This method can help children adapt to the darkness faster and enhance their confidence. Encourage children to bravely try new things: Children always have imaginative ideas in their minds.

Parents should encourage and support their children’s ideas, allowing them to experience success and taste failure.

Only in this way can children learn to face challenges and cultivate a fearless personality in the process of practice.

Positive feedback and encouragement: For a child’s brave behavior, positive feedback and encouragement should be given.

On the one hand, it can make the child believe in their choices, and on the other hand, it can also give the child a sense of responsibility and achievement in future choices.

Create a nurturing environment with love and support: At home, create a nurturing environment with love and support, so that children feel that no matter what they do, they are accepted.

This can provide a safe environment for children to boldly try and not be afraid of mistakes. Courage is a consumable, and what parents need to do is not only to cultivate their children’s courage, but also to cultivate their confidence and strength in daring to try and not afraid of failure in things.
