40 (practical) tips for mental health, well-being and prosperity

| Children |

23. Listen to what children have to say

~ Adults are inclined to think they know what’s best for children but it is important that children are included in the decisions that involve them. Being listened to, being heard and being given the opportunity to ask questions is greatly important to children and research shows that empowering young people in this way provides them with psychological benefits.

24. Focus on your child’s inner strengths.

~ Every child is different. Recognising and encouraging your child’s unique strengths can enhance their self-esteem and well-being.

25. Emphasise learning and enjoyment over winning for children in sport.

~ Children who are motivated by self-improvement as opposed to performing better than others are less anxious, less likely to cheat and show greater persistence. Encourage your child to be the best they can be regardless of others and to have fun while doing it.

26. Learn and teach media-wise skills.

~ Children and adolescents spend more time with the media than they spend doing any other leisure activity. While some research shows that TV watching has negative effects on a child’s development, other research has demonstrated the opposite. You can regulate many negative effects of TV viewing by engaging in the TV watching with your children. You can use it for education and talking about the programmes, commercials and the issues that arise. This way you can teach your children to be media-wise.
