Advice’ is a rare thing for today’s kids. Previous generations lived their lives with goals set for how they would live for the next decade.
Today’s kids have different plans every day. If problems arise, you can confidently say ‘I’ll take care’. Every new technology comes out and becomes out of date in a day or two. You never know what will happen next year.
Never look for perfect in anything. I will do what I like. They focus on the ideology that I will do my best. When they start giving advice, they cover their ears and run away.
Salem Saravanakumar tells how to bring up children who have no future goals.
Children should not be verbally abused. Actions should speak. If children have to wake up at a specific time in the morning, make it a habit for parents to wake up earlier.
Arriving on time for any destination will teach children about time management.
What is his economic status, his family status, what are his parents’ dreams, what will I become in five years. For that, I have to tell the children clearly how I am working now, not through advice, but through their own experience. A search begins within the child to find out what his dream is.
Children can learn purpose through play. In sports they achieve the goal and understand the taste of success.
Ask them to prepare a goal chart of ‘How will you be in five years’? It features children’s dreams as pictures and colors. It can be hung so that they can see it. When they see it every day, they will start working towards that dream.
Ask the children to write down how they want the community to see you in the next five years, and how they want to introduce themselves to the community in the next 10 years. For this, you can buy a board and chalk piece at home. There will be a chance for them to understand their minds and give wings to their dreams.
At home, parents should make it a habit to read newspapers and books in front of their children. Child trafficking and sexual abuse should be discussed in a language they understand. Asking what they think about it and what they might have done at that time can create awareness.
Ask the children to list their unwanted items once a month. Give them to kids who need them
Let’s encourage. Children can be sensitized by taking them to destitute homes. The habit of buying and accumulating things for desire will change and the intention to help will develop.
Instead of saying don’t waste food, you can visit the farm where the food is produced. They will realize the importance of food. Realize the current water shortage and the plight of the people for water. They use water sparingly.
The effects of children’s preference for fast food, the flaws in its preparation, and the long-term effects of chemicals added to it can also be explained.
With today’s kids, it’s usually a one-word no-no. Advising is also ridiculous. It can give you a chance to understand anything directly. Can explain in detail. It is also important to ask their opinions about the respective matters.
