Teaching your child how to be a positive thinker is extremely beneficial, especially in a world where there is sometimes too much negativity. It is never too early to start empowering your child how to look on the brighter side of life! Here are a few ways that you can begin to teach your child how to begin that happy, positive lifestyle.
Your Child’s Biggest Cheerleader
If you want to empower your kiddo to be a positive thinker, then you need to also try to be in a positive mindset. You are your child’s biggest cheerleader, and they look up to you. Remind yourself to try to stay cool during those hectic moments. If you react to a glass of spilled milk in a calm and collected way, then your child will start picking up on your reactions. Instead of cleaning up the mess and laughing it off, you may choose to yell out of frustration. Children are like sponges and absorb everything around them. First and foremost, make sure you are representing positive thinking!
Little Notes
A simple way to encourage your child to think positively is leaving motivating sticky notes around the house. For example, leave a note that says “You can do it!” on their bathroom mirror, so that they can feel inspired. Your kiddo may not be able to read just yet, so this is a good activity for both of you! Read these positive reminders in the morning and before you tuck them into bed. Your kiddo will conquer the day with a positive mindset, and also hit the pillow with sweet thoughts.
Turn a Negative into a Positive
If your child is having a rough day, then teach them how to turn a negative into a positive. Using real life examples will show your child that it’s possible to turn a bad day into a good day. Sometimes all it takes is some positive thinking.
