Children who are trained in these 7 skills grow up to be more successful than other children.

GĐXH - Each child develops at his or her own pace. However, there are some parenting principles that have been proven to be effective in raising successful children.

According to American psychologist and parenting expert Michele Borba, parents should pay attention to the following parenting principles if they want their children to surpass their peers in the future.

1. Confidence

When it comes to raising a successful child, which is more important, American psychologist Michele Borba shared with CNBC in 2022.

Self-esteem reflects how you see yourself as a whole. Confidence reflects how confident you are in your own abilities in a given situation.

These two concepts are related but research shows that self-confidence is more essential in supporting a person's future success.

Self-confidence helps reinforce children's belief that their skills and efforts will lead to good outcomes such as getting good grades or doing well in sports.

Michele Borba notes that parents can boost their children's self-confidence by letting them experience success and failure themselves, and by trying to solve their own problems.

Doing so will help children pick themselves up after failure and believe that they will eventually succeed.

2. Curiosity

This motivates children to pursue, learn, discover new things, and accept challenges.

Michele Borba suggests parents spark their child's curiosity by giving them creative toys, giving them paper clips, and asking them how many uses they can think of.

3. Empathy

Michele Borba shares that one of the most obvious traits of successful children is that their parents regularly show empathy for their children.

Parents should show concern for their children by saying things like, "You look so happy" or "You seem sad."

Ask your child about their feelings. This can help them recognize their feelings and express them without shame.

Parents can ask their children questions like, "How does that make you feel?" or "Does that seem scary?"

Parents should also share their feelings so that children feel safe sharing their feelings with their parents.

Don't forget to ask your children to pay attention to the feelings of those around them.

If you are at the park, you can show your child how to observe people's attitudes and ask, "How do you think that person is feeling?"

4. Autonomy

This is also the quality of successful people. It is the ability to control attention, emotions, thoughts, actions and desires.

Adults can teach children self-control by using cues to get them to follow, instructing them to pause when stressed, for example, they can tell their children to stop and count to 10 when they feel angry.

5. Stay positive

Roni Cohen-Sandler is a psychologist specializing in mother-daughter relationships, adolescent development, and parental guidance.

She is also the author of Raising Emotionally Resilient Daughters in the Digital Age.

To raise resilient, intelligent children, you need to teach them to have a positive outlook, says Roni.

This can be difficult at first because children tend to focus on negative experiences or emotions.

"While you sympathize with your child's suffering, focusing their attention on their successes and joys will help them gain a more holistic and positive outlook on life," Roni says.

Psychologist Borba agrees that optimism is a key factor in success.

“Optimistic kids see challenges and obstacles as temporary and surmountable, so they are more likely to succeed,” she says.

As a parent, you also need to pay more attention to your own behavior. Do you see things in a negative or positive light?

If you find yourself still thinking a lot about negativity, change your thinking and perspective so that you can educate your children more effectively."

6. Integrity

Integrity helps children know right from wrong, what should be done and what should not be done.

To train this quality in children, parents need to explain the concept to their children, give examples and praise them when they do good work.

7. Perseverance

This quality helps children continue to try when facing difficulties and challenges.

Some children give up easily when they feel overwhelmed. Therefore, to train their children to be persistent, parents should divide the workload and homework into smaller parts so that children can focus or be more willing to start doing it.
