Why You Should ‘Re-Reprogram’ Yourself First!
“All men are born equal… but leave this earth unequal. A man’s altitude in life is determined only by his attitude in life”
Your children will copy what you do, say and how you think. Any good habits will be copied along with any bad habits. What you do now may not be the best things you want for your kids to learn, and may be the wrong habits that they pick up. This will hinder their success.
In order for your kids to be successfully brilliant, you need to lead by example and put in front of them the positive things – habits, ideas, thought processes, behaviours, speech …. that they can copy, interact and learn from. This will make the task so much easier, if your children are interacting with the positive things on day to day basis as a normal part of their lives.
In order to do this, we as parents need to shed some of the emotional baggage that we all carry and make the effort. After all if we are living a life full of positives, our kids will do the same and whole raising kids’ effort becomes far more enjoyable and far less stressful. Let’s face it – it is through this stress that we tend to do things without thinking, believing that this will lead to a less stressful situation. Instead, the opposite seems to happen – stress creates more stress in our kids and it comes out, which in turn creates more stress in us as parents – a vicious circle!
We need to make a small effort daily to create this change – small steps at time.
I am starting a series of articles on making this change by “re-programming” or changing yourself.
These are next articles in this series over the next few days.
1. What do I mean by ‘programming’ and how is it formed
2. Why should you change
3. How to start the change
By the end of this you will see and understand what programming is and how this will affect your kids. If you can change your ‘programming’, it will be copied to your kids.
