Positive self-talk is an excellent way to keep ourselves on track. As a parent there is nothing stronger than what a child hears, sees, and believes. Each morning announcing how it is a wonderful day out loud will set the pace for the whole family. The benefit of a positive attitude impacts our health, both physically and mentally. Celebrate the days and the nights as we have but only so many.

Communication

Children begin communicating early, since the moment they are born they communicate to their mothers with a cry. Once speech is established it becomes easier and more obvious what ideas they want to transform, what things they want and personalities they begin to grow into.

Here are 3 main types of communication in human beings:
Verbal (with speech)
Nonverbal (no speech but gestures)
Visual.

THINK is a key function that must be taught, so that our children have a better outcome in life. With the world divided at times, considering our similarities, it makes sense that this should be at the forefront and a daily conscious effort to know what children are watching and listening to. As a parent, it is our duty to stand guard at our children’s mind.

Asking questions (to understand) in a non-confrontational way can leave the lines open as they grow into their teen years. The habit we create now will help us adapt to the new changes that continue to be created.

Being proactive – Expectations set avoids reacting to situations. When a child knows what is expected in their behavior in the environment they are in and understands the consequence of the wrong behavior. Then it becomes a response to the situation and an understanding or consequences versus a reaction and stress. The consistency and clarity of the environment of Ocasio’s TMA dojo creates the development of clear expectations and a growth, learning opportunity. The right experiences or consequences early in life, gives the child a fighting chance in the future.
