Smart Things to Say to Your Kids
May 22nd, 2008 • Category: ParentingThe way you speak to yourself inside of your head has determined the paths that you have chosen to lead you to where you are today. Everybody has different things that they tell themselves when faced with difficult decisions. Remembering what those smart things are that you say to yourself so you can share them with your kids can be hard to do.
To help pass on your knowledge and wisdom to your children, you must make an event out of the process. Just by agreeing that you have certain beliefs and words of wisdom in you and that when you remember what they are you will then say them to your children, will not work. It takes conscious effort to pass on the knowledge and beliefs you have gathered through all of your years to your children. Having a specific time set up to do this makes sharing our wisdom with our children actually happen and occur on a consistent basis.
A great time to provide kids with your knowledge is at the breakfast table. They have to eat and are stuck in that position until they are finished. This gives them time to actually listen to what you are saying.
Coming up with words of wisdom can be tricky, but now that you have the time set that you are going to deliver your knowledge to your children, you have a deadline to meet each day. It is this goal of sharing your knowledge with your kids that will make you come up with some surprisingly great little tid-bits that have helped you out in life.
Here are some examples of words of wisdom to share with your kids:
- Imagine the person you are about ready to saying something negative about is standing right beside you.
- If you ever commit a crime someday, somewhere, someone will find out… it might not be tomorrow, or next week, but someday you will get caught.
- A mistake you made can be one of your greatest experiences just as long as the mistake taught you a better way to do something.
Do not worry about making your wisdom sound pretty. As long as your kids get the idea then you are on the right track. The sure fact that they heard the wisdom from you is what makes it stay with them.
Here is one little tid-bit of wisdom that you can share with your children that will help them become in high demand when they start to enter the work force and is a secret that will get them multitudes of repeat business.
ALWAYS GIVE THEM AN “ALSO”
One of the best ways to get repeat business is to do more then people ask. If your child is paid to pick cut grass, tell them to cut the grass then wiped down the mower and sweep out the shed when they are done. If they are hired to watch kids, tell them to watch the kids and do the dishes that are in the sink while they are there. They will be in high demand the rest of their life if they do this secret.
