HOW TO RAISE A CHILD WITH GOOD CHARACTER (PART 2)

-


 

Nice to meet you again!! we have more great points on raising your child with good character in this post and they are outlined as follows 

1. Expect Ethical Behavior 

Studies show that children who act ethically have parents who expect them to do so. It sets a standard for your child's behavior and also lets them know what you appreciate. So demonstrate your ethical standards, discuss them, and then continually reinforce them until they become your child's rule. 

Take a moment to ask your child, "What values ​​do we uphold in the family?" "What is most important to us in our home?" 

Hint: If your child doesn't recite these values ​​right away, it probably means you haven't modeled them, discussed them, or reinforced them enough. rant the most important values ​​to you! 

2. Think About the Impact of Behaviors 

 Researchers tell us that one of the best ways to build morals is to emphasize the impact a child's behavior has on others. Frequently using questions in the right context can enhance a child's moral development: ("See, you made him cry") or arouse the victim's emotions ("Now it feels like it") evil"). The trick is to help your child imagine what it would be like to be in the victim's shoes so that they are more sensitive to the impact of their behavior on others. 

  How do you help your child reflect on his or her behavior toward others? 

 

 3. Reinforce Ethical Behavior 

One of the easiest ways to help children learn new behaviors is to reinforce them as they happen, in context! So deliberately get your kids to act ethically and acknowledge their good behavior by describing what they did well and why you appreciate it. 

When was the last time you praised each of your children for showing good character? Do you find a balance where your child realizes that you want them to succeed academically but also to be a good person? Prioritize ethical values ​​and good character every day 

Children do not learn to be good by reading textbook characters, but by witnessing or doing good. 

Encourage your child to lend a hand to make a difference in their world. And help them realize the positive impact their gestures have on the recipient. The real goal is for children to become less and less dependent on adult guidance by incorporating ethical principles into their daily lives and making them their own. This can only happen if parents continually emphasize the importance of the virtues they have chosen and their children pr virtuous acts with our guidance. 

 How can you help your children today understand the importance of character? What kind of charitable services or opportunities can you offer to your child? 

4. Incorporating the Golden Rule 

Teach your children the golden rule that has guided many civilizations for centuries: "Treat others the way you would like to be treated". Remind your child to ask themselves before acting, "Would I want someone to treat me this way?" Or, "How will she feel?" Empathy is a known morale-enhancing factor, and good empathy-building questions help children reflect on their behavior and the consequences that action has on others. [Also see chapters on Integrity and Empathy in THRIVERS:  Surprising Reasons  Some Children Struggling and Others Shine for Dozens of Empathy and Mindfulness-Building Strategies. 

 In Conclusion

How can you ensure that the Golden Rule or another character-building mantra becomes your family's most important moral principle that your children adopt? Is it simply by practicing all the things mentioned above in the first and second parts of this post.

Learning diseases generally affect people of average or below-average intelligence.

PROCESS WRITING METHODS

Introduction What attributes characterize effective writing? Before producing the final product, good writers plan and modify, rearrange and delete material, re-read, and create numerous drafts. A process writing technique focuses on this.   Process writing: What is it? The process approach views all writing as a creative endeavor that needs time and encourages criticism to be completed successfully. When teaching process writing, the teacher departs from the traditional role of assigning writing assignments to students and receiving their final drafts for editing.   Why Might a Process Approach to Writing be Appealing to Teachers? Research has shown that feedback is most helpful when given in between drafts rather than when it is given after the students have submitted their essays to be graded. Writing corrections on essays that have been sent back to students after the process is complete doesn't seem to help their writing much.   The Shifting Responsibil
