Here are the top tips parents must see if they want to know how to raise successful children!
1) In thinking about how to raise successful children, Many articles name Trust as one of the biggest elements of successful parenting. Parents are afraid, and that makes our children afraid - to be who they are, to take risks, to stand up against injustice. Trust has to start with parents. When parents are confident in the choices they make, parents can then trust their children to take important necessary steps toward empowerment and independence.
2) Strong communication skills open up a breadth of lifelong opportunities for your child and encourage them as students and leaders in their chosen field. Fostering this ability, however, doesn't need to wait until your child says his or her first words. There is a famous study showing that children brought up in privileged background hear 30 million more words than children of less educated parents. This difference in turn creates what is known as the word gap, which subsequently creates difference in vocabulary and academic performance consistently down the line when the children go through school. Communicating with children is indeed an important thing that leads to raising successful children.
3) A growing body of research shows that building effective partnerships between parents, families and schools to support children’s learning leads to improved learning outcomes. Parents are the first and continuing educators of their children. Research also shows that teacher quality, including standards and training in parental engagement, is important for facilitating effective parental engagement.
4) Here's another key point on how to raise successful children. Parents must have high expectations for their children. Parents who saw college in their child's future seemed to manage their child toward that goal irrespective of their income and other assets. It appears that children of parents who expect much of them actually are more likely to live up to those expectations.
5) Many parents of successful children also teach their children to adopt what is known as the growth mindset. A growth mindset thrives on challenge and sees failure not as evidence of un-intelligence but as a heartening springboard for growth and for stretching our existing abilities. These children will not easily give up and will keep on trying believing that practice makes perfect, that effort delivers results, and they tend to grow up to become successful adults.
