Things that every child should be taught!

There are certain things that every child should be taught and should learn before he/she reaches the adolescence age or turns 18. Often we are so busy in our lives that we fail to realize the how fast our baby becomes a toddler then a teenager and finally an adult. It's so important to impart knowledge to children about delicacies of life which shall flourish your ward into a perfect human being and develop his/her overall personality.

 1. Be kind. To each other and to yourself. Smile. Be generous. One kind word can create a ripple effect   that might change the way people around you feel today.

2.   Take responsibility for your actions. This is one of the toughest things to do in life, in my opinion. It’s hard (and humbling) to admit you’ve made a mistake, done something wrong or hurt someone. But being able to ‘fess up is one of the keys to being a strong, brave person.  Remember, it’s impossible to change without first taking responsibility.

3.  "You don’t have to attend every fight you’re invited to.” – James Lehman. Sometimes it takes more courage to walk away — or to not fight at all — than it does to throw a punch or say something cutting and cruel. You have the ability to decide for yourself whether to join a fight. You have the power not to join it, as well.

4.   Positive thoughts get you much farther than negative ones. If you want to accomplish anything in life, telling yourself you can’t do it won’t help. Life isn’t always easy, but being positive (and surrounding yourself with positive people) can help you take the leap necessary to start living your dreams.

5.  If you’re not trying, you’re not living. I don’t mean that you have to win at everything or be the best at everything, necessarily. Trying means you’re doing your best and not holding back — not coasting through life. When you look back, it always feels good if you can say, “I tried my best.”

6.  Being popular is not the same thing as having friends. True friends are the people who will be loyal to you no matter what, and who care about what happens to you. They’re happy when good things happen to you and listen to you when you’re going through a hard time. Being popular might feel good, but it’s fleeting. Good friends will be with you for a lifetime.

8.  Your uniqueness is a strength. Maybe you don’t like the same things everyone else does. Maybe you don’t learn the same way, or see things the same way, either. That’s okay. Keep doing what you love to do. What makes you unique is also what will give you strength in life.
