Make your child rejection proof

in #child7 years ago

Here's how you can make your kid 'rejection proof':

  • Let "no" be the starting point
    Don't teach them "no" as the end of conversation, rather let it be starting point of a negotiation.

  • Help them build their own “Courage Muscle”
    Courage is a skill that takes practice, which is something that we should realize. Parents can help their kids exercise their “courage muscle” by having them ask for what they want.

  • Teach Them to Ask to Give
    Becoming rejection-proof isn’t just about asking for things for ourselves, but also asking to give to others. Help kids learn how to jump in and help:“Can I help you carry your bags?” “Can I buy you a cup of coffee?” If they say no, that’s okay.

As parents, we can teach our kids that a “no” is not the end.
