Positive reinforcement

Even young children manage to construct negative thoughts in their young minds.

To recognise this is simply by listening to them.

My results has been to simply reverse the phrases they use.

"I cannot read" turns into "I can read".

And while we say

it, it's also helpful to write it down and have the children read those very words.

This simplicity can be applied to alot of things.

For example, if there are signs of learning difficulties, do not make a big issue out of them as a parent to the child.

Observe where you think the challenge is, and then find positive ways of teaching more of those elements (especially if it is numbers and letters)

Then have the child repeat several times a day " I learn with ease" or "learning is easy for me"

If you as a parent also adopt the phrase "my children learn with ease" and see and feel this within yourself, your results will be tremendous.

This will take a certain amount of dedication in the beginning, as not only are you in the process of turning your childs mind to positive, you are doing the same for yourself.

Good luck
