Make Role Modeling a Hobby

Like in most families, children are around you everyday. Whatever you show to your children is what you teach and impart to them regardless of your intentions. In their eyes, you are a teacher. Everyday you are teaching “live” — whether you like it or not. You’re like a walking lecture in your child’s life.

What are you willing to show to your child? What are you going to teach your child through you? Do you want to be credible?


1. The best way to teach is to model what you preach

2. Your teachings should be followed by action

3. Don’t preach anything that you are willing to violate

4. Don’t create rules that you intend to break if they are inconvenient

5. Make role modeling as your passion

How to Deal with Your Child’s Inappropriate Behaviour

Children bombard families with many challenging behaviours. As parents, we are delighted if their behaviour is mostly positive. But what if your kids constantly display harmful behaviour? How are you going to deal with it?

It can get frustrating for a mother who is yelled at every time she says ‘no’ to her child.

In my clinic, I’ve seen parents who feel desperate when their son or daughter who used to behave like a “saint” is now disrespectful, oppositional, and threatening. Some are at a loss finding the right solution to their child’s misadventures.

As parents, what are your options?

1. Establish a Hierarchy of Consequences for Inappropriate Behaviour

2. Ignoring the Behaviour

3. Granny Gestures

4. Counting One to Five

5. Time-out

6. Taking Away Privileges

You Get What You Expect

What do you expect from your child? Do you expect good things to come? Do you announce what you expect?

Expectations abound everywhere. There are no relationships, affiliations, or associations where expectations don’t exist.

At work, we’re expected to perform various tasks and to be good in what we do. In school, teachers expect their students to study and learn.

For homes to prosper, clear and reasonable expectations should be established. As parents, we are expected to provide safety, food, clothing, comfort, and love in our homes. Also, we expect our children to do certain chores and to respect us and their siblings.

As long as we live, expectation exists. As long as there is commitment and relationship, expectations are the norm.

1. Create a List of Expectations

2. Expectations should be Consistent

3. Expectations should be Reasonable

4. Expectations should be Positive

5. Expectations Should Focus on Success

The Power of Touch

“It is the magic of a touch, the power of a hug . . . that make life joyful.” This is a portion of my essay in high school. My teacher loved it. She even thought that a professional writer honed the article for me. “Michael, did you really write that?”

Her skepticism was a compliment at the time. Her disbelief was a subtle way of saying I had some writing ability. You know what? I bragged about it for days!

What is the power of touch?

Science tells us that a touch triggers the release of brain endorphins — a brain chemical more powerful than most analgesics including heroin or morphine. But touch is more than just a scientific confluence of brain chemicals. Read more. . .

Child’s Passion as an Engine for Success

Successful people have a special passion for their careers and businesses. They live and breathe what they are passionate about. Even in their sleep, they dream about their passion.

There is no success without passion. There is no progress without passion. Passion is the engine that drives people to endure the pains, challenges, defeats, failures, and mistakes. Without passion, people can easily give up. Success desperately seeks passion.

As a parent, how can you stimulate your child’s passion?

1. Give Your Children the Freedom to Create Regardless of the Result

2. Let Your Children do the Positive Things They Love Doing

3. Let Your Children Discover their Own Talent

4. Reinforce your Children’s Positive Passion
