Children just need to be heard. When children see their parent's strive through challengesso will they. Learning comes through real life experiences. Let your children watch the movie, 'Samantha An American Girl Holiday,'starring Annasophia Robb and Mia Farrow. It's a movie, about a girl who was brought up very proper. This all American girl discovers about friendship and family and how to transition through many of life challenges.
This all American girl discovers the meaning of friendship and family all within a short time. This girl lives with her grandmary. The American girl gets to meet three girls and their father that are servants next door. The three children's father dies and the three servant girls are faced with the fear that they maybe split up. These three girls had to learn how to transition through many challenges. They feared being separated. Many trials came their way, however lots of sacrificial love prove to help these children transition successfully.
Children are born with courage. Listen to them cry. They have strong lungs and a strong little body that cries when they get hungry and kicks up a storm when their mad. When a baby cries and a parent listens and picks them up, this helps them learn to trust. Years later many challenges will come their way. What will your child remember from when they were young? Did they learn how to be strong when life wasn't always fair?
Parents, family, and friends are our children's future. Walk with them through all their challenges in their life. Listen to them well. Never try to judge them. Children who grow up with parents who have proven to them that their first cry meant something, will grow up courageous and strong. Life challenges will prove to have taught them many valuable lessons.
The best way a child can learns is by a shining example. Children are born with much hope as they courageously pop into this wondrous world. Little did they know that their first cry in life was just the beginning of learning how to transition. A baby probably feels this challenge as soon as he enters this world. The infant had to learn to adapt to his new surroundings. Giving much love was all the strategy needed.
A child with a learning disability may feel different and alone. A parent can help the child feel important by finding things their child can do. Then praise them with much love and appreciation. A movie for a job well done may help the child feel just like anyone else. Children just want to be loved and valued. Praise and giving rewards will prove strategies work. Rewards don't have to be costly. Rewards can be anything from baking a special cake for them, to letting them pick a favorite movie that the whole family will watch one night. Give them choices,
The best strategies are just bundles of faith that have brought children out of many challenges, into many hopeful tomorrows.
Teach them well, they'll remember.
