Unleashing your child’s potential intentionally will require deliberate consistent actions from both parents or guardians:-
1) Know your child: Who is s/he? (A) W.A.L.L (Watch, Ask, Listen, Learn)
(B) Acceptance- Parent the child you have not the one you wish you had!
(C) Affection – Love unconditionally
2) How do you deal?
(A) Responsibility – Learn to be a COACH, a PROBLEM SOLVER and a LIMIT SETTER
(B) Discipline or Punish? – Learn the act of discipline and grace using NATURAL AND LOGICAL CONSEQUENCES. Evoke responsibility….not force obedience(punishment)
(C) Build Character – Be who you want them to be!
3) NUTURE –
(A) Encouragement – Build a warm home; be patient and consistent
(B) Sacrifice -Parenting involves a lot of intentional sacrifice in all things
4) ICING ON THE ‘CAKE’ – Acknowledge, Appreciate and Applaud even the tiniest of growth and achievement
5) PRAYER – A constant through all the process. More Information from my book – Its Gone All Wrong! Is it too Late- Vol 1 and 3. Also available as 1-2 hours seminar with Q and A and access to slides.
