Steps to raise strong-minded kids

Strong-minded kids bloom under the parenting of those who inculcate resilience, accountability, and emotional quotient. Instead of shielding and making the children vulnerable to abusive habits, they allow them to develop courage in overcoming adversities.

Rely on others for happiness

Parents also teach children self-reliance by making them feel happy and not depending on others’ opinions for self-satisfaction.

Feeling entitled

It makes a child thankful instead of being entitled; it teaches a child to respect efforts and get privilege based on effort and justice.

Don’t take up challenges

Parents teach the children to encounter challenges and acquire problem-solving, perseverance, and confidence in themselves about overcoming it.

Don’t take risks

Taking calculated risks nurtures confidence, adaptability, and the courage to handle uncertainty or step into unfamiliar situations.

Deny sympathy

Emotional intelligence that incorporates knowing how other people feel calls for children to build relationships in ways with a depth of respect.

Blame others

Parents teach responsibility by discouraging blame-shifting, helping kids own mistakes and grow from them.

Search for imperfection

Focus on improvements rather than perfection that reduces pressure or stress and accepts self, with which kids find joy in achievements rather than things which are inappropriate.

Not evading duty and responsibility

Parenting instils accountability by delegating work to them and allowing kids to comprehend their position within family and society. It encourages them to have a sense of duty and autonomy.

Fear of failure

Resilience in children develops when they don’t fear the challenges and try to see it as an opportunity for growth rather than quitting or fear.
