Ways to Guide Your Child Towards Excellence and Achievement

Through extraordinary repetition, parental persistence, and strong cultural reinforcement, every young child masters this steep technical challenge. –Shinichi SuzukiGuiding children towards excellence and achievement is one of the most challenging tasks a parent can face. Helping kids understand their strengths and weaknesses, and how they can use their strengths and weaknesses towards building excellence is one of the most important things you will ever teach your child. In this article, we have highlighted the ways that can help you guide your child towards achievement and excellence.

ENCOURAGE SELF-DISCIPLINE

Self-discipline allows you to control your body and mind, and adapt to new circumstances. Encourage children to practice self-discipline in all kinds of tasks.

ENCOURAGE DELAYED GRATIFICATION

In the early 1970s, a Stanford psychologist Walter Mischel offered a group of 4-year olds an offer: They can have a little treat now, or wait for Walter to get back and have a double treat. Walter left the room with the little treat and came back to find that all the kids took the treat except for one. That child waited to have the double treat. Delayed gratification allows children to have the courage and patience to wait for the better results.

GIVE KIDS AMPLE PRACTICE

Practice makes perfect. This rule has no exception for children. So, make sure that your child gets ample practice of whatever he is trying to pursue. For example, if your child endeavors to be a professional athlete, make sure that he has ample time on the commercial playground for his physical activities.
