Initiative - Seeks and does things on their own.
Encourage your child to be a go-getter by organizing dinner or
to help plan a family vacation.
Creativity - Is not limited by constraints. Seeks the
new. Bring out the creativity in your child by finding out what
your child's passion is at an early age. For example, if you
find out that your child has an inclination to music, enroll
them for music lessons.
Resilience - Is persistent. Does not give up early.
Can work under pressure. Give your child timed tasks at home and
make deadlines for projects to be completed. Give rewards for on
time completion.
Analysis and Judgment - Is able to reason and not
always think with emotion. Is able to see the different
viewpoints of a problem. Makes decisions after taking into
account all the facts. Encourage your child to be a thinker. Let
them know that best decisions made are ones that are well
thought out. When your child has done something wrong ask them
why they think you don't like that behavior, why it happened,
what they can do about it, and what would be the best
punishment.
Dealing With People
- Gets along well with others. Doesn't take interest in
negativity projected by other people. Has respect for others. Is
considerate of others'
feelings. Is aware of their own behavior.
Teach your child about why people scapegoat or act out
negatively. Show your young
one how to mediate a problem.
