How a punishment affect my kids developing their positive thinking habit?

the term punishment can mean different things to different people. for some it means hitting and shouting, while for some it means grounding or taking away certain privileges. i would say it is important to punish in the latter manner if a child is not following certain rules and discipline. do not however hit or scream, as these can surely have a negative impact on the child, and also reduce self-confidence.

How can we teach children to self-regulate their emotions?

We need to acknowledge their feelings (through empathy) and then guide them on what they can do about these feelings - you can come out with suggestions. For example when they are feeling sad, they can think about positive things like.....when they feel intimidated, they can think about how they are capable in other things too etc etc. Yo can have a simple 2-3 step guidiance that you suggest to your child that that child can use each time and with time, they will use these steps to regulatie their emotions on their own

If i want my child to stay positive, how do i punish them when they are in the wrong positively?

Firstly you have to be clear about your emotions when you punish your child - note that you are not doing it out of frustration or anger but more of meeting out justice for example. It is important to tell the child why he/she is being punished and Ensure that you are as air as possible (if other children are involved) and the punishment is appropriate. This is so that they know that they are punished for their wrong doing and not being targetted for their own being

Why do we need to build positive thinking habits?

Thinking habits are formed gradually day in day out and especially so when met with certain circumstances. We could either leave it to chance and circumstances to determine the habits or to guide and develop positive and healthy thinking habits. With good thinking habits, the child can be more independent, more of a solver of problems and can find it easier to attain good success in the future. They are therefore unlikely to be easily daunted and are more adaptable if we cultivate them right.

My girl gives up on something very easily. She feels dejected and lousy about herself after failing. How do I teach her perseverance and how to think positively and still go on amd mt give up?

Maybe my girl is young thus she might be easier to manage? I will tell her it's ok, no problem, let's try again. I will look at her at eye level and ask if she understands what is going on or happening or what is required for her to do. If the answer is no, I will go through with her again or call for a time out then try again when both of us calmed down or I just simply said shall we do this work together? When she succeeds, I will tell her "look you can do it too, well done" followed by a great big hug, shower her with kisses and praise her for trying. Sometimes I just bribe her with stickers if she gets too stubborn to try.

How are thinking habits formed?

By definition, habits are formed through the process by which new behaviors become automatic. So I reckon if you repeat a certain thought or action over and over again, it will become a habit. So if you want to think positive thoughts about a certain subject or issue, repeating it over and over again will help.

How can we teach children to accept failures?

Regarding failure, children take their cues from their parent's reactions. Here are three steps. The first step is to acknowledge the situation. Don't brush their experience or situation aside and say something like "Oh its such a small thing" or that it doesn't matter. Acknowledge their emotions. Step 2. Analyse. Ask them what they could change to make the next attempt more successful. You could give some suggestions here. Step 3. Action. Agree on what you can start doing in very practical ways to work on the plan. For example you could change the daily schedule so that the child has more time to practice or to lessen the load on something else. At this stage give encouragement to the child and say that if the changes are made, you would be confident that he will improve. Remember the 3 "A"s. Acknowledge, Analyse, Action. Importantly ensure that he knows that your acceptance and love is not tied to his performance.
