If we want out children to shine, if we want to see them to truly believe that they can reach the moon, then we must focus more on our relationships, before we even think about propelling their academic abilities.
Breaking down the walls of mistrust can be hard, it takes time, but once children know that we have their back, there’s no stopping them in achieving their absolute best. All the while the children are safe in the knowledge that if they make a mistake, it’s more than ok!!!
Here’s a few of my favourites:
Listen when they speak
Respect their decisions
Look them in the eye
Defend them when they ask for help
Believe them
Trust them
Allow them freedom to choose
Give them time
Joke
Set fair boundaries
Allow them to make decisions
Build their confidence
Guide them through difficult times
All them to know you also find life hard sometimes
Allow all emotions
Be human ❤️
