It's Important to Educate your Child from Early
Author: wawan
Parents have important role for their child behavior development. Children behavior is developed for how their parents taught/educated on their early age. If a child gets bad leader from their parents or from people surrounding/the environments he/she lives then child will become for what he saw the most and will copy them.
There for parents should be good role model in front of their child. A child is very fast to absorb all kind of things and behavior he/she sees, hear and learn because they couldn't separate the good and bad for what they absorb. For them is like an "informal education". Parents should realize to give their child good examples and became good leader/role model in the child daily life.
For an example, if parents use polite language for daily communication in front of their child; if the parents like to write, read or paint or exercise, automatically their child will copy those activities. These will become good "capital" for their child's future. You will be so proud of your child and realize that they got "the capital" from you as their role model and good leader for them. Do you agree?
Below are tips how to educate your child from early age, which you can do at home - daily:
1. Give your child good example and involve them actively in some activities. You can leader them to re-organize the toys every time they finished playing with it. Softly leader your child to start reading book along with you, as it will become good alternative for your child. Provide them with children book story with attractive and colorful illustrations. This will attract them to like reading and open their view as well as to bond the good relationship between your child and you as parents.
Teach them how to write and prove them with board or some parts of your house wall as a media for them to transfer their imagination and creativity into that media. You can see how creative and imaginative your child is.
2. You can softly and patiently exampling your child with discipline in time management. Child until 5 years old needs more time to rest/sleep compare to adult. A mother should teach their child when she/he can play and when she/he should rest/sleep. These will help the child to have strong immunity in health.
3. Always avoid your child from bad examples. Please don not argue, lie, in-discipliner, hits/fight, use strong language in front of your child. Please also guide your child when seeing television/movie and continuously advice your child from time to time. A child is very easy to copy what they seen.
4. Spare time with your children. These days, most of the parents are busy and lots of them are working yet it's important to spare time with your children hence to have parent-children interactive. This will show how much you love them and strong parents-children bonds. It's good for you and your children future.
So parents… good luck

Harvest Life Gracefully-Learn the Difference between "self-esteem" and "self-respect"
There is a significant difference between self-esteem and self-respect. Self-respect is extremely important and is the result of a mindset that is grateful and humble and is focused on the interest and caring of others. Self-esteem, where there has been much praise and thinking highly of one's self, can prove to be disasterous to oneself and to others.
What is Self-respect and How Does it Relate to Self-esteem?
Author: Mark Arens
The terms "self-esteem" and "self-respect" may seem at first glance very similar, if not exactly the same. But they are indeed very different things and have very different consequences, especially when cultivated at a young age.
Psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors and other experts for years have encouraged parents and teachers to cultivate self-esteem in kids. About thirty years ago, it became very popular among child experts to tout self-esteem as the solution to all our children's problems. We've heard it a million times—high self-esteem is good, low self-esteem is bad. But what does this really mean and what effect does it have in the long term?
Self-esteem means simply thinking highly of one's self. Many parents, teachers and psychologists feel that by showering a child with praise, he or she will grow up with a positive attitude and confidence. But often self-esteem that is left unchecked can develop into destructive behavior: thinking less of others, ungratefulness, arrogance, cockiness. The pursuit of self-esteem can become, as described by family psychologist and parenting expert John Rosemond, "an excuse to do your own thing—regardless of whether or not the "thing" in question is anti-social—and quickly mutate[s] into self-worship."
Self-respect, on the other hand, is a mindset that allows us to become grateful, humble and well adjusted. Self-respect encompasses respect not just of ourselves, but also of others. In fact, by respecting our fellow humans we can learn to respect ourselves more. When we have self-respect, we love ourselves but do not become arrogant or cocky. As Rosemond puts it, "A person growing in self-respect understands that he is an imperfect being who was given the gift of life in order to serve."
Self-respect is akin to the Golden Rule: in order to receive respect and learn to respect ourselves, we must learn to give respect to others. And while having confidence is not a bad thing, people who are over-confident (and who are often seen as arrogant) haven't learned this principle—that in order to get respect from others and from ourselves, we must first learn to give.
Self-respect is gained "not by being told how wonderful you are," Rosemond writes. "But by developing respect for others."
As you've probably experienced, people who have grown up being told how great they are usually aren't very fun to be around and don't make very good friends. But people who have been taught to take an interest in and care about others while maintaining a positive attitude about themselves tend to be the type of interesting people with whom we enjoy spending time.
By encouraging our children's individuality and growth by teaching them to be confident yet humble and respectful, we can help them become adults who have healthy, stable relationships and friendships, and respect for themselves and others.
