Secret #6
A Mother Who Supports Her Children's Strenghts Builds Their Confidence
For Moms:
Know Your Child’s Unique Temperament
Benefit for Kids:
Confidence About Identity & Strengths
It's important to treat our children as individuals and avoid stereotypes or one-size-fits-all solutions. As mothers we need to tune in to understand our child’s uniqueness and help others recognize those positive qualities.
There is a great story in this book about a mother with a very active child. In preschool he had been labeled “hyperactive” by the teacher. His mother wanted to avoid this labeling in the future so she had a great way of saying “Don’t you just love Matt’s spirit?” Pretty soon others noticed his unique strengths too instead of his weaknesses.
