Your child needs resiliency, authenticity, and entrepreneurial spirit to succeed in life. Unfortunately, our system is not set up to give your child these gifts. Instead, our system is set up to do the opposite. We are starting to see the product of this through the increased rates of anxiety, depression, and developmental challenges in children.
As parents, you want something different and better for your child. The good news is that the actions you take now will help to support transforming the landscape of your child’s lifestyle and well-being. A consistent theme of the research into childhood mental health is the need for a holistic approach to support the development of children.
There are three fundamental pillars that we need to bring back to parenting approaches to significantly improve a child’s life. The three pillars are resilience, authenticity, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Resilience is about supporting your child to develop the capacity and skills so that they can remain in balance in all facets of their life. Authenticity is your child having the ability to recognise, honour, and trust their feelings (both good and bad), and then act in a way that is consistent with their values. Entrepreneurial spirit is about your child’s innate creativity, self-motivation, drive to chase their dreams, willingness to take risks, and resilience in the face of failure.
As your child engages in activities that align with their true interests and passions, they become more confident in expressing who they are and what they believe in. Developing independence is supportive for fostering creativity, self-motivation, willingness to take risks, and innovative thinking by empowering your child to explore, experiment, and express themselves freely, both individually and collaboratively.
Your child will look for your guidance to learn how to approach new experiences and potential failure, how to regulate their own emotions, and how to tackle challenges in life. With your support, they will feel better equipped to navigate increasing societal expectations and their own internal beliefs and patterns whilst maintaining their authenticity.
By bringing back fundamental parenting approaches, and developing these essential pillars with your child early, you will significantly improve their self-efficacy, their ability to navigate challenges throughout life, and their deep knowing, love, and acceptance of who they are and how they can authentically show up in the world.
You have the opportunity to provide the guidance and support your child needs to develop the skills and mindset they require to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
