Nurturing a Positive Personality: Parenting Secrets
A positive personality helps children to be confident, and successful in life
Personality is the set of characteristics that make a person unique. It includes their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Personality is shaped by a variety of factors; including genetics, environment, and life experiences. It is an image that lives in the minds of others and is what defines a person. For example, when the name of Nelson Mandela is mentioned, the image of a great, hard-working, and persistent leader is conjured up in every mind.
Personality, in my opinion, is your trained unconscious. You’ve probably heard that a person’s habits bind them. What exactly are these habits? This is our subconscious at work. Our lives will be shaped by our unconscious. Human psychology has a simple rule that they first believe in action and once they believe that what they are doing is right, then it becomes behaviour. All of our behaviours are connected to our belief systems.
Once my friend came to me who wanted to register his son’s name in the Union Council office. Enrollment had been delayed and a penalty was due. Parents often delay their child’s registration so that they can register their age lower and be eligible for any job later.
From this point of view, a person present there advised him to write down the date of birth of his son during those days. Penalties would be avoided and the birth date of the child would also be written late which would be useful later.
Hearing this, my friend asked him “What advice are you giving me?” It meant that I should start lying and committing fraud in relation to the child from then on and expect him to be a truthful person later. His sentence raised his stature in my eyes for not choosing the path of lies, especially regarding his child.
Make your child the best person they can be. They should look sophisticated in their cleanliness, dress, speech, and walk. You’ve probably seen some people who walk very attractively. Their self-assurance can be seen in the way they walk and talk. You may have also noticed people who walk with hunched shoulders and appear less confident in their body shape and gait.
