Whether the child is at school or home developing some good healthy habits is extremely essential.
1. Keep up your schooling
Parents must work hard to bridge the gaps in education, because as the child grows older he/she will find it more difficult to releam what they have forgotten from when they were young. Let kids read the classic’s, they would help you to understand life’s twists and turns. Let kids explore their artistic side even if they have no talent what so ever.
2. Play
Kids must learn to play and imagine every day, at school at home and even in the outside world. Even if there are no toys to play with a child’s imagination would do the bit. Like a stick can become a magic wand when needed. But if you get new toys, read and learn the instruction before putting them together.
3. Gain confidence
Children must try everything once. Keep calm even when everyone else is losing their head and blaming the problem on you. Learn to trust yourself, even when everyone else doubts your abilities, but also listen to their doubts. Get to know all your strength and weaknesses. Test all of your weakness until they are strengths. Keep a journal of your young life and take up hobbies that will help you grow as a person.
4. Sing and Dance
Even if you have no other place to do it and express how it feels, go ahead there is always your own house or the shower. If your children at school don’t know to sing and dance, learn to play an instrument and if that doesn’t work learn another – but eventually you might get lucky. Last resort, is lean to whistle.
5. Smile Always
Brush your teeth, floss and get plenty of calcium while you're still growing. - believe me you'll miss your teeth when they're gone!
6. Be kind always and tell the truth
Be nice to yourself, your pets, family and siblings: your brothers and your sisters who are the best link you have to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Ea well and get plenty of exercise and don’t kill time.
Be careful to what you say. You can’t undo the cards you have dealt, but you can sure watch the hand you play. Be careful about what you say and those advices you take. Don’ paint over your ugly parts, you and your history are what make a person you are. However remember it’s not what you do it’s what you choose not to do that makes you the kind of person you are.
Get to know your parents and teachers. Listen to what they have to say. (Even if you don't always take notice of them.) Parents and teachers are an excellent resource to know how it all went wrong! Nonetheless respect your elders.
7. Have friends and make friends
Finding our who is truly your friend is a skill, but we want children while they are young onwards to understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Boys get someone you trust to teach you to shave. Girls get someone you trust to teach you to manage your hair. Discover that no one is perfect. Remember the only person who will always truly be with you is you.
8. Difficult Times
Don't expect anyone else to support you after you become an adult. Maybe you marry money or have generous parents, but you never know what might happen in the future. Start young and save money for times when you need to access some personal funds. It is tempting to depend on others financially, but before you experience independence, you must be independent.
9. Take your time
Wait but try hard not to get tired of waiting. Watch a sun set and a sun rise and spend some quality time trying to get to know your-self. On journeys, take a book but break for conversation. Know that if it is worth while it will take time. Martial Arts or jigsaws should teach you some kind of self-control.
10. Take a Trip
The Earth has much to offer, but still reach for the stars. Remember your childhood is short, but in the end, it's your childhood. Learn to roller-skate, ride a bike, drive a car, take a train and fly someplace once in a while. Sometimes it will be a triumph and sometimes a total disaster. But trust me travel! And while you do all of this remember to keep smiling.
Your whole life is about finding out about who you are, and who you want to be. Don't waste your time on jealousy with what other children have. The popular rich kids you know when you are young don't always turn out to be popular or rich adults. Do what you feel is right. Fill every second you can with joy, for adulthood is not always so pleasurable.
