The other day at the traffic lights
I stood in the Dortmund City last week with a lot of other people - including two colorfully dressed punk girls - at a traffic light. Opposite us, a young boy waiting with his mother on his wheel. When it finally turned green, he began to move and drove straight toward us. The two girls were delighted with the little one full and one said: "Look, the little boy on his bicycle!" Then the boy remained standing abruptly, turned around and shouted: "Hey!" The two stopped and turned to his surprise to him. The boy stretched himself once more and said firmly: "This is not a bike - is it a motorcycle." While the two punk girls laughed impressed, went on the boy.
Again and again during the week, I had to chuckle to think of these tiny tot and. Despite his relative youth - estimated to represent less than 3 years - he was acting entirely independently. The mother of the little boy came with the whole not in appearance. Self-confident, he solved the unexpected "problem" alone. With convincing posture as well as through the use of his voice, he gained a respect and advocates for his "beliefs". In short, direct and immediate.
If you want your child to act as self-confident? You know that our children take their parents as role models for their own behavior patterns. And what about us? Action, we are always confident, and therefore a good model for our children? Or do we sometimes fail at a crucial moment in his mouth, and hey presto, the situation is already missed it? They have not said the opposite, which one disagrees, one's own position is not made clear or defend the right thing at the right time not pronounced. Accordingly, our thoughts often revolve days later, at past problems and missed opportunities. A major boost in this regard comes from Taoism, a millennia-old trend of thought from Ancient China: handle made from a special state of mind out spontaneously and intuitively - "from the gut" - and you will always do the right thing (but on this later in a next article).
For today only, therefore:
Do we want to enhance or change our children, we should first strengthen ourselves or modify. Always begin by looking at yourself and watch with joy, change how their children.
