What Do You Hate About Your Child?

A particular boy grown up seeing himself the way his mother calls him. Whenever you correct this boy, this boy will tell you that he is disobedient. I was like, how?

I was observing the boy to know what the problem is. One day, I was correcting the child in the presence of his mother. The next thing the mother would say is that, "he can't listen to you, he is a disobedient child"

Immediately, I left the scene. I couldn't wait to hear the rest. Now, I understand where the child gets to know that he is disobedient.

Little did the mother knows that those negative words she declared over her son has recreated her son. Experience has proven to me that parents tend to lay more emphasis on the weaknesses of their child than the strength of the child.

Do you know that words are like image? When you speak it, you create something and you begin to picture it in your mind. Then, it becomes your reality.

Instead of declaring negative words on your child, why not lay emphasis on his strength.

Instead of, you're not intelligent. Say, your Memory is blessed.

Instead of saying, you're a disobedient child. Say, you're an obedient child.

Instead of saying, your future is not bright. Say, you've a bright future.

Instead of saying, you can't do it. Say, I know you can do it.

Start encouraging your child with positive words. I've heard of a mother who knows that her child is very stubborn, instead of saying that to the hearing of the child. She always tell the child that he is a peculiar, special and blessed child. With this, the child in no time behaves in the way you want him to behave.
