As a child, I was not confident at all. I did my homework on time I was intelligent too and knew the answers to the questions which my teacher asked but I had no confidence to give the answer in front of the students. I did the things I needed to do without being reminded. I set goals for myself and achieved them but speaking in front of the audience was something really difficult for me, my mother observed this thing, and she never told me that I have no confidence but she always encouraged me, she used to say, ” you look very confident child, you will become a leader one day.” and this how I started thinking that yes, I am the leader, after some days, my mother encouraged me a lot to participate in a speech competition, I was afraid, but my mother prepared me and motivated me, and I won the first prize. I was unable to believe from that day I never looked back and became a public speaker.
Parents need to understand the importance of using the positive words, positive words can change a brain and life too.
Dr. Andrew Newberg, a neuroscientist at Thomas Jefferson University, and Mark Robert Waldman, a communications expert, have written together with the book, “Words Can Change Your Brain.” In this book, they write, “a single word has the power to influence the expression of genes that regulate physical and emotional stress.” When we use positive words like “love”, “peace” and “loving-kindness”, we can modify our brain functions by increasing cognitive reasoning and strengthening areas in our frontal lobes. Using positive words more often than negative words can activate the motivational centers of the brain, propelling them into action.
Some kids are self-motivated. And other kids are less motivated and need a little push here or a lot of prodding there. If you’re wondering how to motivate your child, you might automatically think of rewarding your child for every step he takes in the right direction.
