YOU CAN GREET YOUR SIBLINGS TOO
Greeting is a polite word or sign of welcome or recognition
Most children especially in the African setting are not aware that it is important to greet each other,so they wake up in the morning and greet their parents and the older people in the family and ignore themselves.
Teaching children to be intentional in greeting each other cannot be over-emphasised,this includes welcoming one another back from school or any other outing.
This courteous act cultivates unity among siblings,promotes good family values and creates a very respectful environment.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE(EQ)

HOW TO BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE IN CHILDREN

Helping your children build a strong self worth is one of the greatest gift you can give to them

THERE ARE FEW WAYS YOU CAN ACHIEVE THIS

1 Give them simple tasks at home and in your work place(if you have a personal business)the tasks can be as simple as setting the table, doing the laundry, drawing up a shopping list or taking care of a younger one,this will increase their sense of competency, boost their problem solving skills and confidence.
Giving your children simple tasks at your business place is a very good way to build their self worth,tasks like keeping records of sales,making a list of items to be restocked or giving them the opportunity to offer inputs from time to time,no matter how minute you feel it is.
2 Don't address any issue with your children while you are still angry when you get angry take a short break,this is to avoid saying hurtful things to them,it's important to make them understand that you dislike their actions not them.
3 self confidence also comes from encouraging your child to try out new things. Every child should have a "thought" book,where they write down ideas that come into their minds
Don't over criticise at the same time don't over praise your child,offer praises only when the child has earned it.
4 One on one time with the child is essential in achieving this goal
