Parents: 8 things you should

tell your children every day

 1. You can do it
Small tasks that need to be done at school or around the house may seem difficult, or impossible, to your little
ones because they have a limited view of their abilities. At this point, it is important for parents to encourage
their children and remind them that they have the capability to do what is required of them.

 2. Do not give up
Encourage your children to persist even in the face of all the difficulties that may arise in their lives. Remind
them not to give up, but to believe. Repeat this phrase whenever you can so your children will always remember
the importance of persevering.

 3. I believe in you
Show your children that you are their number one fan. Show them you truly believe in their capabilities and know
the potential they possess.

 4. You are smart

A child that feels less intelligent than others will often surrender at the first sign of difficulty, claiming they are
simply "not smart enough." To prevent your children from falling into this defeated outlook, praise their
intelligence whenever you can.

 5. We learn with practice

When you first start something, you are often faced with major difficulties. However, over time, practice makes
everything look simpler. The task or problem itself has not changed, but the ability to perform has been
increased. Make sure your children learn this early on.

 6. Always do your best

It is important to teach your children that in any situation they find themselves they should always perform to
the very best of their abilities and never accept anything less.

 7. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

This old saying is an important value to the present day where society dictates the rule of advantage. Children
need to learn to be kind and gentle from an early age to be better prepared to go out into the world someday.

 8. I'm always here whenever you need me

Parents should create a feeling of safety and security for their children. Your kids need to know and feel that
they will never be alone because their parents and family members will always be there for them.
