Is your child emotionally prepared to take care of himself/herself? When I was a parent, this was not something that even crossed our consciousness. Today, this has to be a topic that is thought about and considered or it needs to be. What does this mean? Let me ask you a few questions and you make your own assessment. Remember, you do not attend school with them or other activities. You are often out of earshot and do they tell you what has transpired? You can’t control how the world responds to them or how they respond to their world. You can provide them with the tools to do it in an emotionally safe way.
1. Does your child know how to address a bully or mean voices?
2. When faced with a new situation, does your child know how to manage his insecure feelings?
3. Is he/she able to say they are sorry when they make a mistake?
4. Does your child know how to make friends and play in a group?
5. Is your child grateful and say the appropriate thing when he/she receives help?
6. Does your child help other children?
These are important skills in the development of a child’s emotional well-being. Today, we know that these skills increase a child’s success in all that they do. We know that the emotional brain needs this type of stimulation and that it is more important than IQ. Every parent wants the very best for their child and preparing them to meet their emotional demands in the world is giving them a gift that lasts a lifetime.
Please take the time to consider these questions. Take the time to explore how to teach your child these skills. The Voices of CJ program is so easy to teach and provides your children with these skills and with mentors that remind them of their goodness and their inherent ability to take care of themselves emotionally. My own background and my love for children has given me the passion and purpose to help children become all they can be. Let’s do this together! We can raise conscious, emotionally secure children. Give your children the gift of emotional well-being!
