Child Parenting Success - Focus

My name is Lee Mainprize and I am really glad that you are giving me this opportunity to make a difference to you and your child, and would like to congratulate you for taking the time to help boost your child’s self confidence and development.

I’ve spent years learning and growing and trying to figure out just exactly what the difference is between achievers: i.e. those that ‘do’, and those that ‘don’t’.

I have discovered that successful people have patterns - these are the key to what makes people succeed or fail.

And I know that success is no accident.

There are certain steps and pathways to excellence which has to be termed the science of achievement.  I will be sharing these steps with you starting with the first one ‘Teach Them To Know What They Want In Life’ below.

Even a seemingly ‘perfect’ background doesn't guarantee that children achieve… they may have been given the money, access to mentors and the many other so called advantages, but simply lacked the motivation to make it work for them.

Although we are not born with the qualities to succeed, the great news is they can be learned.

Qualities like:-

• Confidence
• Motivation
• Self Discipline
• Focus

And more.

Think of academic education as the ‘food’ and think of personal development as the ‘knife and fork’; without being able to use a knife and fork well, we wouldn’t be able to get the academic results in life.

So investing in your kids self improvement specifically for your child’s personal development will arm them with the skills required to succeed both at school and in life and lead to a more successful and fulfilling journey. For example if your child is intelligent but lacks the focus to follow through, it’s obviously going to let them down.

A fundamental skill is to help your child to learn to deal with set backs and overcome obstacles as this is what will give them psychological strength—it's the very thing that forms character.

Teach Them To Know What They Want In Life

If you are already wondering where to start, you must begin by knowing what it is that you are after; which direction you are going in.

To help you and your child to identify the personal goals and increase your childs self esteem goals to aim for, focus on asking this: ‘What is important to you?’, ‘What do you want to do?’, ‘What do you want to achieve?’?  Because to be successful you must learn to know where it is you want to go in life!

For example, imagine going on a holiday without knowing where you are going.  If you have your bags packed ready for some sun but end up in Iceland, you wouldn’t be too happy.  So be aware that if you don’t know where you are going you could end up somewhere you don’t want to be!

Encourage your child to write their goals down in a way that inspires them, maybe using pictures or photos.  And remember goals are simply dreams written down.
