Every parent needs their kid to be successful in life; however, happiness and success do not come on their own, you need to create them. Here are some steps;

Become a happier person yourself. You can’t raise happy children if you are depressed or dying inside. Children are attracted by everything you do as a parent. You are their role model. Therefore, put happiness above all things.

Rejoice in both small and big achievements. Sometimes you are busy at work and kids are busy at school, probably you don’t have much time to yourselves. Spare sometime after a busy week and celebrate, may be about good grades, holidays or birthdays. These help in family bonding. Celebrations can be in any way you wish them; they don’t have to be expensive.

Spare time for your child. Don’t give a child divided attention. Let communication be effective with your kid. If they speak to you, they need all your attention. You are required to do away with distractions like phones, newspapers or TV if you need both the parties to communicate. When all your attention is given to them, they will feel blessed to share with you their passions, fears, challenges, and much more, therefore you will be able to give reasonable responses and grooming them where necessary.

Dine together as a family. When you have regular meals as a family, chances for your kid to be successful in everything are high. This is where you get a possibility to warn kids about bad vices like drinking and smoking, among others. Speak about basically everything.

Train your children to control their emotions. Research shows that children who can control their emotions focus better, which is important for long-term success. These children even enjoy better physical health. In order to help your child manage emotions, reveal emotional self-management yourself, empathise with your children, they should know that not all behaviours are tolerable.

Recognise your children’s advancement. Appreciate them when they perform better in class, or if they excel in anything.

Teach your children to build meaningful relationships. Children who lack these relationships perform poorly in class, as they lack focus and proper guidance. You should create an environment for the children to form friendships.

Set reasonable limitations for your children. Parents who set and implement reasonable boundaries raise confident, successful children. For children to make the best of their future, they need boundaries.

Let children have enough sleep. Research shows that children who get inadequate sleep have poorer brain function, can’t focus well, are more likely to become obese, are less creative, and it is impossible for them to manage their emotions. To help your children get enough sleep, create a constant bedtime schedule and limit exciting activities after dinner.

Don’t force the results. Parents who over stress accomplishments, have a possibility of bringing up children who have mental and emotional problems and might engage in unsafe behaviour. Instead, look out for chances to recognise your children’s good behaviour, attitude, and effort. With time, they will naturally achieve better outcomes.

Encourage kids to play. Happiness comes when children have the liberty to play, this helps them to learn and grow. According to research, the less unstructured playtime children have, the more likely they are to have developmental issues related to their physical, emotional, social, and mental well-being.

Allow your children to make their own choices. These children will become disciplined and focused.

Encourage your children to serve others and be kind. For instance, making a difference in the community, through volunteering, helping their friends and family.

Train kids to think positively, forgive, and don’t be rude to them. If it is possible, get them a mentor.
