Single parenting continues to be a challenge and even more so in this era.
You want the best for your child.
You want to both equip your child to deal with the temptations and distractions that is so prevalent as well as to make good choices.
The late, great Earl Nightingale once defined success as the progressive realization of a worthy goal.
If your goal for your child is for him to have admirable personal qualities and beyond just the attainment of wealth, fame, or prosperity, then these eleven qualities are what you want your child to acquire:
1. To be a one who forms meaningful relationships with others
2. To be empathetic and compassionate
3. To be respectful
4. To be smart
5. To be healthy
6. To make wise choices
7. to think and act morally
8. To have confidence
9. To have a healthy attitude towards sexuality.
10. To communicate well, and
11. To have a pleasant attitude.
You want these success tools to become part of your child’s inner self – – a way of thinking, a way of acting; something the child is, and not something the child does.
Children take different roads to attain these goals.
For some, the way is smooth and straight; for others it is bumpy and winding. In fact, the children whose way lies along the most difficult roads are often the ones who best learn how to use these tools for success.
