Successful Child

Parents need to convey to their child what success is. Success can be incorrectly defined as how well we do monetarily, materially or in terms of power. Success should be defined as a measure of individual's ability to contribute to society in a positive manner and to achieve a sense of self-worth and happiness.

Show your child that even if they aren't the top of the class there are other measure of success. For example, trying to do their best, learning from their mistakes and an ability to get along with their peers and help others. These all merit praise and are indicators of their maturation.

Teach your child how to handle everyday situations. Coping with everyday situations can only be learned through trial and error. This helps to develop common sense.

Encourage your child to learn how to solve problems but be on hand when they need your help.

A supportive family environment allows your child to become confident with whatever life has to offer and enables them to interact with others. It gives a sense of security and self-sufficiency.

Self-confidence gives your child the ability to adjust to new environments and situations.

If your child is well adjusted and secure, then they are more likely to lead a happy and fulfilling life.
