How to Raise Children to be Sympathetic, Caring, and Ambitious

Raising Children is no walk in the park. It takes dedication and sacrifice! Are you willing to do what it takes?

Who doesn't want great well rounded kids. As parents we should. We want them to care about something bigger than them. RIGHT!

If we want caring kids it starts with you. Right at home in a parents character.. Are you up for the challenge?

Our children model what they see, however there are few children that will continue to be self centered even with good parenting. If you want compassionate children you must show compassion not just to them to the world around you. Show them less fortunate. If you are struggling show them someone worse off than you. Help someone in need. Give your last to promote a good cause. Do it genuinely without a question show them what it means to care for someone else. That covers compassion. Now expect they do the same. Give them allowance and make them give a percentage to a charity and tell them why. Continually explain to them how blessed they are and how good it is for them... Remember there is always someone less fortunate that needs what they have. Kiss their BO BO's, love them daily.

Sympathetic children are the same.. Here is an old rule you reap what you sow. Are you sympathetic with them? Do you show them that they matter. Listen I have a hypochondriac as a child she thinks her toe is broken if she stubs it. I still ask are you OK? Always reply I am sorry that happened to you. Please be careful. I don't want her to hurt. I also don't want her to be in self pity. Or play on pain. We have to be the great balancer here we are the parents.

Being sym·pa·thet·ic (s m p -th t k). adj. 1. Of, expressing, feeling, or resulting from sympathy: Mirroring sympathy comes through understanding. That is a whole new can of worms. Do we understand what are kids are going through. Here is a lesson: look at a situation through the eyes of your child. Things are a lot different when you are able to see into their world. Practice it especially when you are angry at choices that they have made. Not that they shouldn't live out they're consequence just that your heart tends to be in sync when you are able to relate through the eye's of a child. When you can show understanding not that it is right but that you can understand why it happened then you will gain the sympathy you are wanting them to display.

Ambitious children are brought up with plenty of building up. tell them how smart they are. Here is a tale not every one speaks of not every child is a straight A student but you find there bend and do what ever it takes to show them the talent they are blessed with. Every child has a bend it is the way they are made. My daughters is are she can make a fliers on word paint a beautiful pallet. She is great in that way but I have another that excels at school and another in music, I have six I can go on and on. Here is the real question what are you willing to give up for your child! Time money Miles I encourage you to support their bend what ever it is. When you teach them to seek out the thing that makes them who they are you will see Vibrant, Virtuous Children. My payers are that all of you reading this will be touched and practice this with your children. Watch them become wonderful Children..

Be Blessed,
