Читать книгу Confident Children: Help children feel good about themselves - Gael Lindenfield, Gael Lindenfield - Страница 14

Confident people are usually great company; one of the reasons why is that they are in the habit of seeing the brighter side of life and will be expecting and looking for good experiences and outcomes. With this important inner strength children will, for example:

– grow up expecting life to be generally good

– think the best of people unless there is a particular reason to be wary

– believe that most problems have a solution

– not waste energy worrying about possible negative outcomes

– believe that the future has the potential to be as good (if not better) than the past

– be willing to work through the uncomfortable frustrations of change because they like the excitement of growth and development

– be prepared to put time and energy into learning – and doing the necessary ‘ground work’ – because they believe that their goals will eventually be achieved
