Hi everyone, Peter Liciaga here with another episode of the Black Belt Strong Zone
In this video I will share 13 things that parents DON’T DO to raise mentally strong kids… AND share my personal top three.
Raising a mentally strong child requires parents to avoid unhealthy practices that rob children of mental strength.
My TOP 3:
1 | Condoning a victim mentality
Striking out at the baseball game or failing a science test doesn’t make a child a victim. Rejection, failure, and unfairness are a part of life.
Refuse to attend your kids’ pity parties. Teach them that no matter how tough or unjust their circumstances, they can always take positive action.
4 | Allowing fear to dictate choices
Although keeping your kids inside a protective bubble will spare you a lot of anxiety, playing it too safe teaches your child that fear must be avoided at all times.
Show your kids that the best way to conquer fear is to face it head-on, and you’ll raise courageous people who are willing to step outside their comfort zones.
13 | Losing sight of their values
Many parents aren’t instilling the values they hold dear in their children. Instead, they’re so wrapped up in the day-to-day chaos of life that they forget to look at the bigger picture.
Make sure your priorities accurately reflect the things you value most in life, and you’ll give your children the strength to live a meaningful life.
*What are your top three?
[THE WRAP UP…]
Which is why do I do what I do?
Everything I do as a parent and a teacher is because I believe that the world needs more people to stand up for what they believe in and do the best that they can to be a great role-model.
I believe that leading the way in humility, empathy and discipline in my family and my community is a responsibility that must be taken seriously.
That’s why I work so hard with Master Dinoto and our incredible instructors at Dinoto Karate Center to serve our students by creating a physically and emotionally safe environment where parents and their children can grow and thrive to meet their goals for more discipline, focus and self-confidence and a healthier way of life.
