10 Ways to Improve a Child’s Self-Worth
Monday, June 9th, 20081. Put children in situations where they can succeed.
2. Expect the child to succeed in a small, specific situation.
3. If your child does not succeed in a specific situation, problem solve and determine what is undermining the their attempts at success.
4. Every time you see your child behaving in the desired way, write it down.
5. Tell someone else about his/her positive behaviors and make sure the child can hear you.
6. Act in a way you want your child to act, and then praise yourself for acting that way.
7. Visualize your child as already being the new positive label, and then relate to him/her with the new label as part of the child.
8. Show respect for the child’s feelings and opinions even though you might not agree with them. Honor your child’s opinions and feelings by saying, “I can understand how you might feel this way.”
9. Be careful to give children comments on their strengths as well as their weaknesses.
10. Be patient. Change is an evolutionary process, not a revolutionary one. It takes time to change. Stay focused and, above all, be consistent.
Register For Nurturing Program Classes
Monday, June 9th, 2008The Nurturing Program Nurturing is the ability to care for and foster growth in yourself and others. The Nurturing Program is a family based educational program that promotes nurturing within in the family. Anyone who wants to build better relationships and communication in their family can benefit from the program.
The Nurturing Program is unique in that both parents and their children are involved in the learning process. Children are in a class for their age group, learning the same subject that the parents are learning in their class. Families than implement what they have learned throughout the week and discuss changes at the next class. Subjects include growth and development, communication and cooperation, effective guidance, empowering children to make healthy decisions, nutrition and much more. Wells Co. has been fortunate to obtain financial support from a grant through PCAND (Prevent Child Abuse in North Dakota) to make the program available to our community again in September. Classes are on Monday evenings, from 6:00-8:30 pm., for 12 weeks. Childcare and a light supper are provided.
