Help Kids Be Leaders Without Helping Them

We all want our kids to be leaders- to be able to lead others or stand up for themselves.  Here’s my top five how tos.  What’s yours?

1. Let Kids Make Mistakes: Mistakes build character. They teach us that we can overcome.
2. Don’t Help: You read it right. Don’t help your child. Let them figure it out themselves. Always think- what’s the worse that can happen? If you can fix that scenario, let your child grow by helping themselves.
3. Let them know:  “I expect you to be one of the leaders.”: It’s okay to give our children expectations. It’s a stress that is valuable to their growth.
4. No Phone 24/7: You want your child to be able to think by themselves without seeking advice for every little thing. If they are in a safe area, consider leaving them without a phone.
5. Be a Model: Lead by example. Do good. Be good. And. . . make sure you let your kids know.
