Hi friends,

I have know some of the ways to improve some personality development of our kids.Since some of the kids are very sensitive and calm ,here are few ways to grow their personality.

1.Learn to say no. Sometimes if the parents do not spend as much time as they wish to, they resort to giving expensive gifts. But it is better to learn to divide time between work and family.

2. As your child grows,give some works to them,like watering flowers, wiping the table, taking dirty plates to the sink and so on.

3.As kids grow older, give them some amount of money. It is one of the first steps towards financial management.Treat your child as an individual. Don’t compare your child to siblings, neighbors or even yourself.

4.Try to include feelings of joy,happiness and graciousness by demonstration. Make sure that you say ‘Sorry’ and ‘Thank you’ even to your partner in front of the children.

5.Rude words and fights are best avoided in front of children.As they grow older, give them a monthly allowance. It is one of the first steps towards financial management.

6.If your child is self destructive try to find out the reasons behind it. Try to find out what happened in school and if required meet a child counselor.

7.If the child has done something wrong ensure that he/she knows about it and explain why it was wrong.Advice him instead of scolding and encourage them to speak the truth.

8.Also do not shout, correct them in front of outsiders. Make sure it is a conversation in private.Compliment if they get victory,it will add them confidence.In case of failure, motivate and help them perform better next time. Do not resort to emotional blackmailing.

9.Even if the child is sent to classes or tuitions make sure you spend some time everyday finding out what they did in school. A parent should keep a check on the sites the child goes through, the programs he watches and the duration as well as their friends.

10.Make sure you have a family time every weekend or have at least one meal together to bond well. This will make the child more open towards you. But make sure you are not too intrusive. Respect it if they have their little secrets.
