brain is actually a muscle
Around us, I see children growing into adults that have a hard time coping with everyday stress. There are ways to start training your brain, just like we do with mathematics and reading. I am always someone who is willing to try something new. I am hoping this is a way that our children can learn to deal with social anxiety and other mental issues starting at an early age.
Is positive parenting negative
Many children can’t handle stress or people just basically telling them no. This is an essential part of parenting. I know many people would not necessarily agree with the ways that I parent. When I see the outcomes of parenting of the past twenty years, I am disturbed. Parents are rewarding children regularly for doing nothing. I rarely hear the words No. This is a big part of the problem. The word NO is not negative parenting.
No one cares about you like mom
The love I have for my children is so immense, of course I would love to always indulge them. One day when they are older, I would also like them to be my friend. However, I feel in their formative years (until the age of eighteen), I have to put those kinds of feelings on hold. It’s my responsibility to get them to be successful adults. That is why I need them to be aware of the real world and considerate to others. I am also responsible for helping my children function emotionally. It’s up to us as parents.
Make your child strong
As a parent you have to make tough decisions often your children will not like. I grew up in an immigrant home. There were a lot of things that happened to me as a child I was resentful of. Now as I get older, and I realize that my parents made my mind stronger. They instilled within me a certain work ethic and a lack of ego. I am open to listening and I’m willing to change. The plan is to do the same with my kids.
