Your second grader is developing a strong sense of belonging, belief that he is capable and his contributions are valuable. At this age, his self esteem will go through many ups and downs. Hence, it’s a huge responsibility on you to nurture his self esteem carefully.
What you need to do
Watching what you say is very important. Remarks like," You are so lazy" will make him feel labeled as lazy. On the contrary, you can say, " If you finish your homework on time, you will have time for outdoor play". Once he finishes his work, appreciate him for prioritizing work and valuing time. Another way to ensure he develops pride and self-respect, is to provide unconditional love to him irrespective of his strengths, temperaments, weaknesses. Don't compare him with his siblings or classmates. If you value him for what he is, it's more likely he will value himself too.
If he makes mistakes, rather than pointing them, it will be better for him to figure out what caused the mistake and how to avoid repeating them. For instance, if he missed the bus as he got late getting dressed, let the incident make him realize what he can do differently next time, so that he does not miss the bus.
Give him undivided attention and listen to what he has to say. This will make him feel that his opinions do matter and he will feel good about himself.
The growth and success of your child are not only associated with education and skills; the small decisions you make today as a parent firmly lay the groundwork for your child's secure tomorrow. When it comes to financial security, life insurance is an effective tool. You can choose from various types, such as whole life insurance, endowment plans, ULIPs, term insurance, and more.
You can also opt for a 1 crore term insurance policy, which offers robust coverage at low premiums that fits within your budget. You can also use a term insurance plan calculator to tailor your policy based on your requirements and your child’s goals. Remember, selecting the appropriate plan based on needs is critical so your child has adequate funds to fulfil all their dreams.
