Seeing a healthy and intelligent child is always able to be a cool sight for every eye, making it difficult for us to take our eyes off even for a moment.
This beautiful view is certainly not obtained at a cheap price, because health is known as a very expensive gift.
In its development, the health of a child is not only measured by physical or physical health, but there is a point that cannot be separated from them, namely mental health.
With all the current developments, of course, it is no longer new knowledge that children themselves are very capable of getting mental disorders even though they are very young.
Mental disorders themselves are not only centered on the problem of insanity or mental disorders, but mental problems that are severe, whether consciously or not, will lead to these mental disorders.
Therefore, it is very important for everyone to realize that keeping a child's mental health is very important to learn from an early age.
Building a healthy child's mentality is actually difficult and easy, why is it said that because the children themselves actually have very reliable pins, so this is where the role of parents is questioned, has he become a good and right Role Model? Besides that, forming a healthy child's mentality can also familiarize the child with some healthy habits including:
1. Familiarize children to be able to express their feelings
This first point will make a child feel that he is important and his speech will be heard, not just having to obey and accept everything that is given or ordered to them.
Until now there are still very many parents who feel that the choices they make will always be in accordance with the wishes of their children, when in fact if this situation continues until they reach adulthood, children will have the mindset that whatever their decisions are not important and will not be listened to. so they are used to holding back their expressions and emotions.
In addition, when they grow up, there will be two possibilities for the attitude they have that first they will repeat this attitude to others because they think that their opinion is the most correct or vice versa, the second is that they will feel that their opinion is not important. and worth listening to.
2. Helping children discover their strengths and facilitate them
The children's phase is the phase where children have not found their identity so that it will be easier for them to try new things without thinking about what impact they will have tomorrow, so that changes in feelings or preferences are still very fast and uncertain.
It is in this very fast transition phase that parents can find unique facts about their child so they should be able to support and facilitate it, for example when a child reaches the stage that he is able to recognize colors, children will tend to learn how colors can actually be applied, and in this section the opportunity for parents to immediately support this phase with the facilities they have.
3. Familiarize children to receive appreciation and criticism
Everyone, be it children or adults, always likes a compliment and sometimes hates criticism, even though basically everything is two parts that must go hand in hand.
In childhood, we must have felt that we had done something really great and then hoped that when we came home we would get an appreciation, be it a compliment or a kiss from our parents as proof of pride.
Or when we do something that we feel we have worked hard for but it turns out to be not right, so we feel blamed and angry because we get a criticism.
Everything is normal, normal in daily life, but for children there needs to be a period where they need to be accustomed to it all, whether it's an appreciation or criticism, this is important because to maintain their mindset that something that is right deserves to be appreciated while something that is not right needs to be repaired.
