How to teach your children humility
1. Give praise when it is truly deserved.
If your children score well on a school test, commend them if she get a low grade , do not automatically blame the teacher. That for actual accomplishments.
2. Give correction when necessary. This does not mean that you should criticize your child for every mistake. But serious error should be corrected , the same can be wrong attitudes. Otherwise, these may become more deeply ingrained.
3. Encourage your children. Prove to your child that, there is more happiness in giving than receiving.
You and your children can prepare a list of people in need of help with transportation, or repair work. Then
take your children along as you assist some of them. Allow your children to see your joy and satisfaction as you care for the needs of others. That way you will teach your children humility in the most powerful way.
4. Prepare your children for life's realities. Indulging a child's every wish can cause him to feel entitled. for example , if your child wants something you cannot afford, explain why it is necessary to live within a budget . if you have to cancel an outing or a vacation , you could explain that disappointments are part of life and perhaps discuss how you deal with such disappointments. Rather than shield your children from every hardship, prepare them for the challenges they will face as adults.
