Do you push your child alot?
Do you have high expectations of your child?
Did you know tat according to one of my mentors, Chuck, (who is a psychiatrist involved in healing for a good 30 over years) parents who push their children hard usually do that because they are inconfident of themselves.
Usually, parents who push themselves very hard will end up pushing their children hard also.
What they are not aware of, however, is that the act of pushing our children hard will end up turning them into inconfident adults. Parents who push their children pass on their insecurities to them and get them stuck in life!
That is because fear of not being successful will make a person inconfident and make them lacking in leadership charisma.
When you are inconfident about yourself, you usually do not include yourself anymore in your life. So even when you work hard, you seldom see the results as you are already 'not there' anymore. When we close this doors on ourselves, our stock will go from a high stock to a crashed stock.
We cannot change our childhood (if we had parents who pushed us really hard). But we can change the childhood of our child.
Instead of pushing your child, place trust in them and trust in their abilities so that they will in turn trust themselves and become confident individuals who are full of zest and life ;)
