WE BUILD THE CHARACTER

"There are men whose words are like swords of the sword; But the tongue of the wise is medicine ",

A certain father told his son: "You will not be anything in life." How many times have we heard these and other words spoken to parents, husbands, teachers, bosses, etc. If someone is frequently told that they will never achieve anything, they will soon begin to believe it, especially if it is a child.

Much of the responsibility for failure in both young people and adults is due to the "theft" of their self-esteem when they were children. The child or the person who does not receive the normal amount of praise and appreciation will look for them in the wrong and even harmful ways. A gram of praise can achieve more than a ton of gifts. Therefore, it is important to know and follow the following recommendations:

1.- Praise the person (child) for well done tasks and good actions towards others, such as: generosity, kindness, honesty, etc .: we should congratulate others when they strive to do things right, although not they have achieved it completely

2.- Recognize that praise is needed especially from people who are important to us: for a child, for example, parents are the most important people; So, when they recognize him, he feels loved and safe. In a teenager, recognizing him means helping him overcome his shyness and developing his independence. Praise develops generosity, initiative and cooperation. This also applies to adults (heads, spouses, etc.)

3.- Never compare your child, spouse, employee, etc., with another: in doing so, we cause more harm than help

4.- Avoid ridicule and sarcasm: laughing at the child because he can not do things well can cause not only his anger, but his isolation and even more complex behavior

5.- Provide opportunities for learning: do not be afraid to allow a small help in the housework, for example, as these experiences will help develop their skills. The same applies to husbands, bosses, etc.

6.- Take them into account: when we take the time to listen to others and know their interests, when we put aside what we are doing and pay attention to them, we build their self-esteem

7.- Let us accept others as they are, with their limitations: each head is a world; we are all different and we must learn to accept those differences and respect them

Let's build self-esteem! Let's build the character!
Let's raise our spirits!
