Parents as Coaches - How to Bring Out the Best in Your Child
In an achievement-oriented society where much emphasis is placed on children’s behaviours, performance, and results, character development is often neglected. We tend to forget that the ultimate goal of parenting is not to produce ‘super-achiever’ kids, but to raise them into independent, responsible, and civic-minded adults. The latter is underpinned by a solid foundation in values or virtues that enable our children to be people of character.
Although schools are placing more emphasis on character education for their pupils, the responsibility for developing children’s character lies ultimately in the hands of their parents. Knowing that character is shaped by time and experiences but cannot be outsourced, as parents, we must guide and encourage our children to become the architects of their own character building.
In this talk, you will learn the fundamental principles of character development and be able to pick up some practical tips on how to develop some of the foundational virtues in your children.
