Did you know the way a child thinks shapes their brain? To create more positive brain pathways, it\u2019s important for parents to cultivate positive thinking in their kids.\u00a0<\/span>Here are three ways:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>1. Pay attention to your child \u201cat play.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Preschoolers use play to explore their world, test its bounds, and discover their strengths. They put on capes and imagine themselves as the hero. Or, they run to see how far they can go. They bounce a ball to see how hard it will rebound. Never miss an opportunity to notice and affirm your child when they say, \u201cAre you watching me, Mom?\u201d or \u201cLook how high I can jump, Dad!\u201d When you notice and affirm your preschooler, they gain confidence to try new things.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t dismiss your child\u2019s fears.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

When your son says (even though he\u2019s had swimming lessons) he\u2019s afraid to go into the deep end, or your daughter says she\u2019s not sure she can walk across the balance beam, listen. Then ask what they think they can do to be ready to \u201cgo into the deep end\u201d or \u201cwalk across the beam.\u201d Have them imagine what it would be like to not sink or fall. Be willing to be in the water with him or hold her hand the first time she crosses the beam. Encourage them in the \u201csmall steps\u201d and they\u2019ll eventually gain confidence to take bigger steps.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Give your child the freedom to fail.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you want your child to confidently try new things, show them that not being able to do something well the first time is okay. Sometimes failure shows kids they need to work harder to master a skill. Other times, it points them to a new path. Either way, failure can be positive when it enables a child to more fully discover who they are.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
