Tell Your Kids the Truth
October 2nd, 2008 by admin
Today’s kids seemed to be more "protected" or their parents want them to avoid "failing" You may find now in a lot of schools that trophies will be given out to everyone even if they are not winners in a particular sport. Many parents seem to be afraid of their children being insecure or feeling bad because they lost. The problem with that is that they can develop a false sense of security. They need to understand that life isn’t always fair. Sometimes they’ll win and sometimes they’ll lose. What’s more important is that they do their best. They can learn from their successes and their failures. As a parent it’s important to be honest about their flaws and encourage them to nurture their own uniqueness.
