Decalogue To Educate Happy Children

The ten “commandments” that we offer you in this text are a sample of how the upbringing should be that all mothers give their children. Although everyone has their own method, there are principles that should never be ignored every time a woman is on the convoluted but beautiful mission of educating and leading a child on the best path.

The precepts that we offer you below are not only designed to educate happy children, but also to achieve harmony and happiness in the family nucleus to which they belong.

Love your child more than yourself

Loving your child means giving him all the love you can and a little more. It is to revive with your daily actions the attachment that began since you had it in your womb.

The tenderness with which you treat him, the kisses and caresses you give him, how you take care of him and all his needs, the time you spend sharing his games … that is loving him.

To love is also to offer him the security he needs: to protect him both emotionally and financially, to give him the best education so that he learns to take care of himself, and to ensure his health and physical integrity.

If your child feels loved by you and those who live with him, he will grow up happy.

Give him freedom to learn to fly

Raising happy children is giving them the necessary confidence so that they have the freedom to act on their own.

Based on this knowledge, we recommend you guide your child whenever he needs it, but never do it for him.

Let him make mistakes so he knows how to take advantage and learn from them. Allow him to experiment, venture out and satisfy his desire for knowledge, even if you are always on the lookout out of the corner of your eye.

Teach him to trust himself

Trusting yourself is the only way to teach your little one to lose his shyness and fear of failure.

Having confidence in your skills and what you are capable of doing is how you will only achieve the goals that you set for yourself throughout your life.

“No one is born knowing.” Remind him of this popular saying every time he needs to snap back and gain confidence to get back on track.

Applaud their effort and reward their achievements

Educating happy children is also showing them the importance of effort, because effort strengthens them.

If you want to have a dedicated son, who loves to succeed by his means, work tirelessly and fight for his happiness … then talk to him about the dedication and love that must be put into each project.

Every time your child strives and succeeds, reward him for that achievement and let him know how happy and proud you are for him. That will keep you motivated.

But if your child tries hard and doesn’t reach his goal, reward him anyway. Educate him that the value of companies is not only in whether they are achieved or not, but in the effort that was put into them to carry them out.

Teach him to be tolerant

Show your child that it is their duty to accept and love their peers, just as they are.

Educate him to learn to appreciate the diversity of views, feelings and ways of being of people. Only in this way will he be able to integrate, live in peace with everyone and be happy in such a heterogeneous society.

Educate him in values: Respect, sincerity, honesty, gratitude …

Learning to thank and value the behavior of others towards your person, to respect others and give yourself respect, to be honest and sincere, will make you someone worthy, that your peers love and admire.

Teach him to love and accept himself as he is

If you talk to your child about self-love, the importance of accepting himself as he is and giving himself value, you will be stimulating his self-esteem.

Instruct him to feel worthy of the love of others: family, friends and people with whom he interacts on a daily basis.

Explain that everyone is different but wonderful and special like him alone. Nobody has to look like anyone else and even less live comparing themselves to others.

Teach him what discipline is

Pleasing all his tastes and giving in to his whims is not loving and educating him well. That is not the way to your happiness.

Your child must learn to value discipline and know that limits will strengthen him.

Teach him to live in holy peace

Live in peace with your family, neighbors, friends, classmates …

You must illustrate to your little one the importance of establishing cordial relationships with those around him.

Show him that expressing disagreements and standing up for himself can also be done in a respectful way.

You don’t have to lower your head nor do you have to go to violence. Everything has a balance.

Prepare it for real life: the last precept to raise happy children

Raising happy children is preparing them for real life. To achieve this, first of all, you must break the overprotective bubble that, for years, has supported your child.

Open his eyes and show him the good and the bad in the world. Sooner or later in that world you will have to defend yourself, succeed, cry, love, recover …

It is about time you left him on his own and be responsible for his own actions. In this way you can see if everything you have taught him will pay off.

In you are mom we trust that this is the case.
